Mozart Magic Flute Ouverture Organ Transcription

The Magic Flute is a too much well-known and complex opera to be described shortly. The idea of the overture transcription was born from two main reasons: a) it is an absolute musical masterpiece, with the idea of the old French overture two-movements structure (grave-allegro fugato) which is genially synthetized; b) the fugato writing made me think about how Mozart should have improvised on the organ (that period's chronicles describe his improvising style with superlative terms). This ouverture was transcribed by me in two versions: one (this one) for one organist and another for two organists which was published by Editions Delatour France.
