Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Menuetto (from Divertimento No. 2)

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's (1756-1791) Flute Concerto in G was written by the composer in 1778. The Concerto remains widely studied and performed on the Flute making it one of the most important Concerti in the instrument's repertoire. Concerto in G is in three movements; 1. Allegro maestoso 2. Adagio ma non troppo and 3. Rondo: Tempo di Menuetto. The first and last movements are in the tonic key whilst the second movement is in the subdominant key of D major. A Dutch flautist of the time Ferdinand de Jean commissioned Mozart for four Flute quartets and three Flute concerti. However thecomposer who famously disliked the Flute only completed three quartets and two concertos. Instead of composing a second concerto Mozart rearranged his Oboe Concerto with substantial changes for it to fit with the Flute. This edition of Mozart's Concerto in G includes cadences by virtuosos Taffanel Gaubert and Bozza making for an unmissable version of the famed work.

The Concerto remains widely studied and performed on the Flute making it one of the most important Concerti in the instrument's repertoire. Paul Taffanel and Philippe Gaubert's composed cadenzas for the work are essential to all performers of the concerto. Concerto In G is in three movements; 1. Allegro maestoso 2. Adagio ma non troppo and 3. Rondo: Tempo di Menuetto. The first and last movements are in the tonic key whilst the second movement is in the subdominant key of D major. All threemovements contain a cadenza which initially would have been left for the performer to improvise. However cadenzas have since been written including those of Taffanel and Gaubert. Both were prominent flautists of their time and their understanding of the Flute concerto repertoire is second to none making their cadenzas well-informed and essential to performers of the concerto.

Thomas Attwood (1765-1838) a été l'élève de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart de 1784 jusqu'en 1787. Depuis 1795, il travailla comme organiste à la la cathédrale Saint-Paul de Londres, depuis 1821 comme organiste de la chapelle privée du roi George IV à Brighton et devint organiste de la chapelle royale Vocal en 1836. Sa Sonate de trois mouvements en sol majeur (Allegro - Minuetto Andante - Rondo Allegro) se démarque par son thème vocal ludique. L'accompagnement à la main gauche est joué, presque exclusivement, dans les accords brisées afin que l'élève ou un joueur peut se concentrer entièrement sur l'interprétation de la ligne mélodique. / Piano
