Librettists of Wolfgang A. Mozart

Librettists of Mozart include Lorenzo Da Ponte and Emanuel Schikaneder

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, having composerd more than 20 operas in his short years of life, had several librettists. A librettist is a writer of a libretto, an Italian word meaning “little book.” In musical parlance, it is the text used for opera, operetta, oratorio, and other musical genres.

The term libretto is also sometimes used to refer to the text of major liturgical works, such as Mass, requiem, and sacred cantata. Libretto (pl. libretti), from Italian, is the diminutive of the word libro (book).  The difference between the libretto and a synopsis:  the libretto contains all the words and stage directions, while a synopsis summarizes the plot.

The relationship of the librettist (that is, the writer of a libretto) to the composer in the creation of a musical work has varied over the centuries, as have the sources and the writing techniques employed.  In the context of a modern English-language musical theater piece, the libretto is often referred to as the book of the work.

 

History of the Bus

The Bus invention

Travel anywhere by bus, a major public transport we can't do without.

The first bus was horse-drawn, known as a carrosse. It carried eight people and was introduced in Paris in 1662 by none other but the famous Blaise Pascal, a French scientist, religious philosopher and writer, whose work, among others, involved applied sciences relating to barometer, an instrument that measures air pressure.

The Buses after Carrosse

That time, carrosses ran regularly whether there were any passengers or not. By 1823, they were being used in part of Nantes, France. It was operated by Stanislaus Baudry. Because of its popularity, Baudry expanded the service at the same time finding a name which would let people know that this was a service for the public.
