Concerto for Flute in G major K.313 (Flute & Piano)

Mozart’s Concerto in G major For Flute K.313, composed in 1778, in an authoritative Urtext edition based on the New Mozart Edition. Mozart exhibited a special affinity with the woodwind family, writing prolifically for the instruments throughout his lifetime. This Urtext edition is based upon original manuscripts and features a short editorial and scholarly history of the piece, making it the ideal choice for both academic study and informed concert performance. The New Mozart Edition offers researchers a musicologically unimpeachable text based on all the available sources (first and foremost Mozart’s autograph manuscripts). At the same time, it also serves as an aid to authentic performances. The new Barenreiter piano reduction of Mozarts G major flute concerto offers not only a clearly laid out reduction with page turns where players need them, but the results of years of scholarly research combined with the know-how of some of the most important performers and teachers today. In the solo flute part all tutti passages are presented completely in large print as found in the sources. Emendations by Franz Giegling , editor of the New Mozart Edition volume, are indicated typographically so players can clearly see what has been added. This new reduction also provides a wealth of cadenza options; the first two movements each have FIVE new cadenzas to choose from. The renowned English flautist and teacher Rachel Brown has provided not only three cadenzas to each of the first two movements, but also TEN possibilities for the embellishment of the last movement fermata and the Eingang following it. Complementing Franz Gieglings historical preface, Rachel Brown has written a lengthy text on performing cadenzas and specifically on how Mozart structured his own piano concerto cadenzas as a guide to structuring and improvising Mozart flute cadenzas. Additional cadenzas and Eingange are provided by the German flute player Konrad Hunteler and performance practice specialist Karl Engel. All in all, this new reduction is like nothing flute players have seen before: quality, reliability, comprehensiveness and good value! – Full score, Flute & Piano reduction (BA4854-90) and performance material (BA4854) available for sale
