MOZART "Letter Duet" (from "The Marriage of Figaro") (for Two Cornets with Piano)

If you are, as I am, a fan of the film, “The Shawshank Redemption,” you’ll recognize this for sure. It is one of the great pieces from the opera repertoire-Mozart’s “Sull’aria” (“On the Breeze”). Popularly known as the “Letter Duet,” the piece depicts a woman, the Countess Almaviva, along with the character, Susanna, dictating a letter to her husband in a plot to expose his infidelity. It is such masterful composition. At first, the two ladies banter back and forth about the lines to include in the letter, and as the piece progresses, the musical lines between the two become closer and closer until they are both, in a sense, “finishing each other’s sentences.” I hope you’ll enjoy this performance of the piece on two cornets.
