On February 5 1783 Mozart wrote to his father `I am now writing a German opera for myself. I have chose Goldoni`s comedy `Il servitore di due padroni` and the whole of the first act has now been translated by Baron Binder. Nothing further is known of this. Scholars are divided whether Mozart ever started the opera or whether parts are found in other known compositions such as the Arias K435 and K433.
