Music In "Pride and Prejudice"
Episode #1 Mary @ Lucas Lodge (before being interrupted by
Lydia to "play a jig" - still had two movements to go.)
Rondo all' Ongarese ( Gypsy Rondo) --- Haydn--- Miss Bingley
at Netherfield - when she is trying to stop Darcy from
speaking to Elizabeth
Episode #2 Nel cor piu non mi sento----Paisiello---- Mary at
the Phillips ( where Wickham tells his tale of his lost
inheritance to Elizabeth) (used again in Episode 6 before
Bingley & Darcy visit Netherfield after the Wickhams leave.)
Eccio della Marcia (sp?) from Mozart's "Marriage of Figaro"
(Act III)-- music played as the Bennets arrive at
Netherfield ball and Darcy looks out the window.
[What dance orchestra played as Bingley takes Lizzy and Jane
by the arm and escorts them into the ballroom]
Largo ("Slumber Dear Maid")--- Handel---- Mary Bennet at
Netherfield. Then "My Mother Bid Me Bind My Hair..." [before
Mr Bennet interrupts/stops her]
Rondo alla Turca (Turkish Rondo)--- Mozart (Piano Sonata in
A Major - K331)----Mrs.Hurst at Netherfield [preempting Mr
Collins from singing]
Episode #3 At Phillips' House: Christmas Carol [God Rest ye
Merry Gentltmen] --- Maria Lucas sings with Mary Bennet at
the piano
??Background music (Mary plays)for Mrs Gardner/Wickham mtg -
talking about Derbyshire
At Rosings: Andante (part of first Movement) ---Mozart (from
Piano Sonata in A Major - K331 again)--- Elizabeth at
Rosings (first piece)
??Second Piece (what Eliz plays while she banters with
Darcy)
Episode #4 Pemberley: Elizabeth plays/sings Voi che
sapete--- Mozart ( From "Marriage of Figaro) Georgianna: (1)

?????????????? (I'd really like to know this one!!!)
Episode #5
Episode #6
Nel cor piu non mi sento----Paisiello---- (The same piece
Mary played in Episode 2 at the Phillips where Wickham tells
his tale of his lost inheritance to Elizabeth) before
Bingley & Darcy visit Netherfield after the Wickhams leave.
---------------- Other music to put you into the P&P mood:
Mozart's Piano Concerto #22 in E flat - the Allegro, so
bright and breezy that it always reminds me of the opening
moments of the first episode. Also Mozart's Piano Concerto
#20
Beethoven's Septet in E flat Major, Opus 20 - Carl Davis
mentions as the inspiration for his music in P&P
-------------------------
Can anyone fill in the blanks -- the one's I'm missing?
I'd particularly like to know what it was that Georgianna
played the _second_ night at Pemberley -- after Eliz had
left.
