''A Little Nightmare Music'' is an opera in "one irrevocable act" by Peter Schickele under the pseudonym he uses for parodies and comical works P. D. Q. Bach. The title of the work refers to the English translation of Mozart's famous ''Eine kleine Nachtmusik'' (''A Little Night Music''). The opera is described as being "based on a dream he had December 4, 1791, the night that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart died and Antonio Salieri didn't." The opera was "newly exhumed" (a.k.a. premiered) at Carnegie Hall on December 27, 1982.〔("New P. D. Q. Bach finds to be played" ) by Eleanor Blau, ''The New York Times'', December 27, 1982 ]〕 It was later recorded with the premiere cast and released on CD by Vanguard Records in 1983. The album also includes two other works by P. D. Q. Bach: an octet (''Octoot for wind instruments'') and a parody of Handel's ''Water Music'' and ''Music for the Royal Fireworks'', ''Royal Firewater Musick''. ==Performers== *Professor Peter Schickele conducting the New York Pick-Up Ensemble *James Billings, baritone (Antonio Salieri, a successful composer) *Bruce Ford, tenor (Peter Schläfer, a mysterious writer) *Gerald Tarack, violinist (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a not-successful composer) *Paul Dunkel, flute *Susan Palma, flute *Steve Taylor, oboe *Pamela Epple, oboe *Charles Russo, clarinet *John Moses, clarinet *Lauren Goldstein, bassoon *Jane Taylor, bassoon 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A Little Nightmare Music」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
