THE SILENCE
"Eighth rest", from "The Magic Flute/ Act 1/ Scene 1/ The Three Ladies/ Autograph p. 67
This (eighth) rest is initially just a sign of what is not heard – a moment of silence. But it is precisely this silence that gives it its meaning: its deliberately placed position in this staff, this measure, this piece of music.

THE QUOTE
The silence between the notes is just as important as the notes themselves. (Attributed to W. A. Mozart)
-
Image feature: Signature from W. A. Mozart's original handwriting; traditional letterpress printing, hot foil stamping in gold.
THE MOMENT
"until we meet again"
Moment of silence: Longing anticipation/hope/affection
Amidst the many resounding notes, this silent rest is by no means meaningless. Rather, it consciously highlights what lies hidden in this moment of silence: longing anticipation, hope, and affection – “until we meet again.”
Thus, stillness is not an apparent emptiness, but a precious part of the whole – both in the art of music and in the art of life.

MANUFACTURING & PRODUCT INFORMATION
the beginning of a moment
Mozart understood the power of silence and deliberately used it as a pause marker in his works. To attribute the same value to silence as to the notes themselves - this idea possesses remarkable depth. The present edition, which originates from Wolfgang A. Mozart’s original manuscripts, highlights this moment of a pause in its precious significance and clothes it in exquisite gold.
This “moment of silence” had its beginnings in the traditional typesetting and printing studio “dersetzling e.U.” in Kuchl (Salzburg). It was handcrafted on historical printing presses, as in the time of Wolfgang A. Mozart, with the hope of becoming a very personal moment in your life.
