Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Horn Concerto No. 1 in D major KV412/514 was written in 1791. The work is in two movements: I. Allegro II. Rondo. Although numbered first this wasactually the last of the composer’s four horn concerti to be completed. Compared to the other three concertos it is shorter in duration (two movements rather than three) and is much simpler in regard to both range andtechnique.This publication has been edited by John Alley and Timothy Jones for Grade 7-8 Horn in F.

On the one hand, more and more choirs are lacking in male voices, yet at the same time, more and more female choirs are looking for high-quality literature beyond folksong arrangements. Bärenreiter is responding to these general trends with the publication of arrangements for three-part female choir (SMA) of well-known, frequently-performed works.The first editions to be published are Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart?s ?Coronation Mass? K. 317 (BA 5691), a much-performed work within the standard repertoire and the ?Missa brevis in D major? K. 194 (BA 5690-90), a charming alternative for use in church services. With great skill and sensitivity to the music, Heribert Breuer has carefully retained the substance of the original works, at the same time giving them a completely new sound quality.- Arrangements for female choir (SMA) based on the Urtext of the ?New Mozart Edition?- Idiomatic piano reductionsThe arrangerHeribert Breuer was professor of choral conducting and music theory at the Berlin University of the Arts until 2010. He is founder and director of the Berlin Bach Akademie, and has made a name for himself with his numerous arrangements of works from Bach to Schubert.

This delightful aria from Mozarts The Magic Flute has been arranged for three flutes by Ber Joosen.

In a letter dating from 1777 Mozart reported to his father from Mannheim that Johann Baptist Wendling principal Flautist of the famous Mannheim Orchestra had been approached by a wealthy Dutch businessman by the name of De Jean who was prepared to pay 200 gulden for three easy flute concertos and four flute quartets for his own use. Mozart accepted the commission. By the day before the Dutchman left Mozart had delivered only three of the quartets andtwo concertos for which he had been paid 964 gulden. The composer who was himself being pressed by his father to continue his own journey to Paris with his mother was full of excuses writing back to Salzburg on 14 February 'It is not surprising I have been unable to finish them for I never have a single hour's quiet here...Moreover you know I become quite powerless when I am obliged to write for an instrument I can't stand.' There is more than a hint of disingenuousness in Mozart's words for this was the height of the period during which he was being distracted from his work by his new-found love for the Mannheim singer Aloysia Weber. (He ultimatelymarried her sister Constanze.) If Mozart's dislike of the Flute was as great as he claimed there are few signs in the Flute Concerto No.1 in G major particularly in the expressive central Adagio ma non troppo. The outermovements are an Allegro maestoso and a concluding Rondo: Tempo di Menuetto. The work is scored for two oboes (replaced by flutes in the Adagio) two horns and strings.
