Some of the Mozart roles listed here, for example Don Basilio and Don Curzio, are generally considered to be Spieltenor or character tenor roles. Furthermore, not every Mozart tenor role is written for the same kind of voice: consider the differences between vocal writing for Marzio in Mitridate, re di Ponto and Tito in La clemenza di Tito.
