The content of this collage from Mozart's well-known opera "Don GIovanni" is defined by the original subtitle Il Dissoluto Punito (the Libertine Punished). This refers of course to the infamous seducer Don Giovanni, who is represented in this piece by the solo tuba. Right at the start he tries to get his hands on Donna Anna, who calls for help to her father, the Commendatore (trombone). The latter hurries on to the scene and challenges Giovanni to a duel. The father is killed, but Giovanni calmly goes on to seek his next conquest. However both his attempts, first with Zerlina (La ci darem' la mano) then later his mocking serenade to Donna Elvira are interrupted by the ghostly voice of the murdered Commendatore. Giovanni persistently rejectes the thrice - repeated call to reform his ways and meets the fate he deserves by being thrown into Hell.
