Mozart (comédie musicale)

The child prodigy, now 22 and a famous musician, remains sensitive and shy, but tells the company of his journey and having read Molière's Dom Juan on the coach from Strasbourg to Paris.

A few days later – Mozart is working at the keyboard at Madame d'Épinay's house when her young servant Louise brings him a letter.

Mozart has seduced many attractive women during his visit but is unsure who he should choose; the hostess suggests the dancer La Guimard.

Grimm explains that the young man has been frittering away his time in France, his fancy alighting on one woman after another, and it would be better for everyone if he left for Germany.

Yvonne Printemps recorded excerpts from the piece in July 1929, including "C'est la saison d'amour" and "Je t'aime" (available on La Saison d'Amour, Pearl CD) and "Depuis ton départ, mon amour" and "Alors, adieu, donc, mon amour" (available on Yvonne Printemps: Arias and Songs EMI CD).
