Background:
-----------
The score I used is much more than a piano excerpt; in fact, I'm convinced
that some parts are unplayable: it really is a condensed orchestral score.

I transcribed these pieces for the pleasure of seeing W.A. Mozart at work and,
my own practical instrumental skills being limited, making the sounds come
to live. I'm grateful to the author of "Mozart", a notation program like no
other in its very pleasing method of using the computer keyboard economically
to enter a musical score.

The piece:
----------
Aria - No.11: "Voi che sapete" (Soprano)
Atto II. Seguito della scena II.

Cherubino, still plagued by his homones, sings a canzonetta for the Countess
and Susanna, describing his contradictory feelings.

Unlike most pieces I did for "Nozze", the orchestra is here represented by
MIDI instrument 47 "Orchestral Harp" because of the canzonetta character of the
aria; Cherubino is 69 "Oboe". Spatial orientation has Cherubino far right, the
high strings far left, low strings a bit left.

Details:
--------
The trills in the two last bars are written explicitly and marked with "tr".

This piece, like some others I have written, beeps peculiarly in certain
staves; why, David?

The ritardando in bar 61 and in the last bar are mine.

I am grateful for notification of any mistakes I may have made, or just for a
brief email from anyone who used this file.
