Mozart KV 176 16 minuets
Odyssey 4, 593-624
Telemachus in Sparta: he asks Menelaus to let him go again. He it should also not make a present of horses, to Ithaca, he could not take it anyway. Ithaca is a small and barren island, only goats could keep it there.
Instead, it gives Menelaus a jug of refined silver, which he himself once received from King Phädimos Sidonie as a gift.
Then dinner is served.

At the banquet at Menelaus and Helen in Sparta plays on Amadeus. He is a passionate dancer, writes all his life over and over again minuets and German, ländler and country dances for the ballroom. KV 176 he wrote for the court orchestra of Count Czernin. is particularly striking in this Menuettfolge the imaginative instrumentation, in which the bassoon comes out from his usual role as a bass instrument and emancipated themselves into an impressive instrument melodies.
