Product Description
Les petits riens (French for "The Little Nothings") is a ballet in one act and three tableaux by Jean-Georges Noverre, with music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and other unknown composers, possibly including François-Joseph Gossec, first performed at the Academie Royale de Music in Paris on 11 June 1778.
While Mozart was staying in Paris, Noverre asked him to compose a new score for a ballet that he had created in Vienna in 1767. The ballet was to be danced as an interlude in the new opera
Le finte gemelle by Niccolò Piccinni.The opera was a flop and closed after four performances. Although the ballet music was well-received,Mozart was not credited with it, and he was at the time little-known in Paris.
