#idk why lep feels so much more viola da gamba to me than cello. i include cello too cause it was of course common by that time

[supercantaloupe]

anyway nobody asked but here's what instruments i'm assigning the don giovanni characters

the don: violin, mandolin, pianoforte. and voice obviously

leporello: viola da gamba. cello too

anna: harp or flute? also pianoforte and voice

ottavio: violin but he kinda sucks at it. voice.

elvira: oboe, pianoforte, voice

masetto: some kind of small lute or early guitar like the cittern or similar

zerlina: if anything i think she can do some percussive things like tambourine and castanets but i don't think she plays anything melodic. she can sing though

#i'm claiming elvira as one of us and you can do nothing to stop me. #my music degree sure isn't getting me any jobs but at least it's useful for making posts no one cares about on the internet #also yes basically all the nobility got assigned pianoforte and voice. i have my reasons #idk why lep feels so much more viola da gamba to me than cello. i include cello too cause it was of course common by that time #and obviously is MUCH more well known today #but in my heart he is a violist first and a cellist second #oh i didn't include the commendatore did i. fuck man idk. pianoforte i guess. harpsichord. whatever #sasha speaks
