The Return of Gatti's Aria
Our Revision Takes the Stage in Munich
In the magnificent Max Joseph Hall of the Residenz München, tenor Daniel Behle performed the aria “Puoi vantar le tue ritorte” by Luigi Gatti, taken from his opera Nitteti. This concertante piece, for which we composed the cadenzas, was brought to life by the Salzburger Hofmusik orchestra under the direction of Wolfgang Brunner.

Backed by nearly 2,000 meticulously sourced citations, this work invites readers to explore a deeper, more complex understanding of Mozart.

We first introduced this virtuosic and spectacular music in its modern premiere in Bayreuth, where it was met with great enthusiasm. Given its success, we were thrilled to see it performed again in Munich.
Earlier this year, on 24th April, we had the opportunity to discuss this work in detail during our lecture at Bocconi University, explaining the intricate revisions we made to Gatti’s original composition. This marks another exciting milestone in reviving forgotten gems of 18th-century music and bringing them to modern audiences.

The Curious Case of Mozart’s “Lullaby”
Though long credited to Mozart, the lullaby “Schlafe mein Prinzchen, schlaf ein” hides a murky history. Initially published by Nissen, Constanze’s second husband, it has endured as one of Mozart’s supposed works—despite a trail of doubts. In 1798, Constanze herself noted sending “another piece of Mozart’s in place of the lullaby,” raising questions about its origins. By the 20th century, researchers revealed it as the work of lesser-known composers, yet it remains deceptively tied to Mozart, its myth surviving through mere footnotes.
