The Traditions of Don Juan Plays and Comic Operas

Abstract

Beethoven's sharp criticism of Mozart's Don Giovanni was an expression of uncompromising moral and artistic standards. One wonders, however, to what extent it also reflected an aristocratic Viennese bias against a plot disreputable per se, which in addition had been handled by a librettist and a composer neither of whom had really achieved an approved social status in the capital of the Habsburg Empire.
