Do you know there can be one fundamental "Urtakt" to this entire finale up to the piu allegro after the other trio has entered?

@Otaku155 "The end of the second act for example ... In a play, if more than one person speaks at the same time it's just noise; no one can understand a word, but with opera - with music - with music, you can have twenty individuals all talking at the same time and it's not noise, it's a perfect harmony."
Any similarity between your comment and that quote from Amadeus? There aren't even 20 people here! "Mozart" was just saying you CAN have 20 people all singing at the same time.

@Otaku155 that's true, but with out a libretto you would have no idea what any of them are saying!

@tedly10027 especially from 0:31 "sir, we ask you..." until the musical line climaxes on "what is delaying marzellina?" what a beautiful line....it always tugs my heart after all these years.

@Otaku155 you are so right. mozart's genius was in putting everything together as the musical texture enriched along with the characters coming together to build towards the climax. incredible. I studied and worked on this with singers long ago...and professors told me it is considered one of the most feared sections in all opera to put together . VERY complicated despite what mozart shows effortlessly. my favorite musical section was always the start of this "pt.2 video". beautiful lines
This part of the second act really demonstrates the difference between an Opera and a play. Imagine trying to have this many people speak at once during a play. It would just become noise. But in Opera, you can have as many people speak as you want. By the end of this act, there are twenty people with different parts on stage singing at once.
