Even though Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791), admittedly, was no fan of the flute, he wrote unforgettable music for this instrument 'that I can't stand': two concertos, a double concerto with harp, the original version of the Wind Concertante and the four flute quartets. Commissioned by the Dutch physician and amateur musician Ferdinand Dejean, Mozart wrote his two solo concertos in 1777/78 during a stay in Mannheim. As the middle movement of the Concerto in G major KV 313 supposedly was too difficult for the client -with regard to the playing technique and/or music - the composer wrote an alternative version, 'Andante' KV 315 (285e). This nice individual movement is now presented in a carefully edited new edition, with a cadenza of the editor - a serenade-like setting that offers the soloist many possibilities for cantabile playing.

One could say that Michael Kuhn's cadenzas to Mozart's beloved Double Concerto K. 299 went directly from the concert stage to the publisher, and from the publisher back to performers. Commissioned by the Concentus Musicus Wien, they were recorded on CD in 1998 under the direction of Nikolaus Harnoncourt. Although the musicians played on original instruments (transverse flute and single-action pedal harp), the cadenzas can be executed just as effectively on modern instruments. For his work, Kuhn took as his guideline the original cadenzas Mozart wrote for his Sinfonia concertante K. 364 and his Concerto for two pianos and orchestra K. 365, which date from about the same time. Kuhn's new edition should be seen as an alternative to Carl Reinecke's popular cadenzas (EB 6859), which continue to be available from Breitkopf & Hartel.Kuhn's new edition should be seen as an alternative to the popular cadenzas 3 Cadenzas for Mozart's Concerto in C major K. 299 (297c) by Carl Reinecke.
