Catharina Josepha Pratten (also know as Madame Sidney Pratten), was born Catharina Josepha Pelzer in Mülheim.
She was a German guitarist, composer and teacher. Her father, Ferdinand Pelzer, was German guitarist and music
teacher. Later married to flautist Robert Sidney Pratten, hence the name in the method book and elsewhere.
"Il mio tesoro" (or "Il mio tesoro intanto") is an aria for lyric tenor voice from scene 2 in act 2 of Mozart's
opera Don Giovanni.
Bar 1 - More advanced players may wish to finger the first chord with fingers 2, 3, and 4 to avoid the shift of
position.
