Concerti for Wind Instruments in Full Score
"Mozart's treatment of the concerto… may justly be regarded as his chief contribution to the growth of the instrumental forms." — Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians
The wind concerti are among Mozart's most popular and often performed works — masterful compositions in which the composer expanded the concerto form and displayed a new richness of invention, melodic range, and great command of orchestral effect.
This volume contains 10 Mozart compositions for orchestra and wind instruments — all the ones considered complete and genuine — reprinted directly from the authoritative Breitkopf & Härtel editions. The compositions are Bassoon Concerto, K.191; Concerto for Flute and Harp, K.299; Two Concertos for Flute, K.313 and K.314 (K.314 also performed by oboists); Four Concertos for Horn, K.412, 417, 447, 495; Clarinet Concerto, K.622; and Andante for Flute, K.315.
Now musicians and music lovers can play and study the complete scores of all 10 works, gathered here in one convenient volume. Available nowhere else at a comparable price, the scores have been clearly printed and sturdily bound for long life.

About the author
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
10.3k books182 followersJohann Georg Leopold Mozart, the Austrian composer, toured Europe with his son, child prodigy, noted Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who gracefully and imaginatively refined the classical style with symphonies, concertos, operas, Masses, sonatas, and chambers among his 626 numbered works.
The comic plays of French writer Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais inspired Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to operas.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart prolifically influenced the era. Many persons acknowledged this pinnacle of piano and choral music. His popularity most endures.
Mozart showed earliest ability. From the age of five years in 1761 already competently on keyboard and violin performed before royalty. At seventeen years in 1773, a court musician in Salzburg engaged him, who restlessly traveled always abundantly in search of a better position.
Mozard visited Vienna in 1781; Salzburg dismissed his position, and he chose to stay in the capital and achieved fame but little financial security over the rest of life. The final years in Vienna yielded his many best-known Requiem . People much mythologized the circumstances of his early death. Constanze Mozart, his wife, two sons survived him.
Mozart always learned voraciously and developed a brilliance and maturity that encompassed the light alongside the dark and passionate; a vision of humanity, "redeemed through art, forgiven, and reconciled with nature and the absolute," informed the whole. He profoundly influenced all subsequent western art music. Ludwig van Beethoven wrote on his own early in the shadow of Mozart, of whom Franz Joseph Haydn wrote that "posterity will not see such a talent again in 100 years."

It's funny when you're asked to review a book of Mozart Concerti. One doesn't simply "review" Mozart.
