Introduction to the opera Don Giovanni- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Period: Classical

The introduction to this opera has an instrumental timbre that evolves into a timbre with operatic vocal features later on with an embellished melody that features a wide pitch range.  The harmony is full with strong themes beautifully interlaced with one another.  The dynamics are grand with both P & f as well as with grand crescendos.  It has a homophonic texture and involves a fast upbeat tempo that leads into the action packed opera.  This is a clear classical piece because everything involved great balance as well as, well, its Mozart.
