-
So this is Leporello,
-
and as you will notice,
-
Mozart crafts the music to fit Leporello.
-
It's not highfalutin music.
-
It has a rather narrow range.
-
It doesn't go way--it has a lot of patter recitative in it,
-
and at the very beginning
-
Mozart kind of blocks out this pacing idea.
-
Leporello is down underneath a balcony.
-
Don Giovanni is up above trying to seduce Donna Anna
-
and he is impatient and he hates this position in life
-
in which he has been put.
