The First Edition of Die Zauberflöte, issued in parts beginning in November 27, 1791 running to 1793, this was the earliest edition of the piano vocal score to be advertised and the most authoritative as Mozart himself prepared it after the 30 September 1791 premiere. Three of the parts were issued in his lifetime. This is an extraordinarily rare set to assemble and the present set, with only two numbers in facsimile, is the most complete offered at auction in years.
