Minuet from “Don Giovanni”, K 527

[Toomas Rannu]

This Minuet from “Don Giovanni” (“Don Juan”) K 527 by Mozart has words in Estonian, written by the Estonian poetess Anna Haava (1864-1957): “Suur kontsert algab koidu aal” (Big concerto at the dawn begins). It describes the awakening of the nature in the early morning. I found an arrangement of this song for two voices from “Lemmiklaulik V (Riho Päts) K.-Ü. "Kooli-Kooperatiivi kirjastus, Tallinn, 1937” and transcribed it for one mandolin.
