RISM M5105. A good early edition of Mozart's last opera, completed after the bulk of Die Zauberflote was written and first performed at the National Theatre in Prague on September 6, 1791. Comissioned to celebrate the coronation of Emperor Leopold II as the Kind of Bohemia, the opera "was composed in a style more austere than that of Da Ponte Operas or Die Zauberflote...its style is appopriate to its topic. La Clemenza di Tito, compared with the preceding operas, is no less refind in craftmanship, and it shows Mozart responding with music of restraint, nobility, and warmth to a new kind of stimulus."
