With parts for Horn in E flat and F.-With parts for Horn in E flat and F.We not only owe three of Mozart's horn concertos to his friendship with Ignaz Leutgeb; the solo part of this unusual chamber music work was also written especially for him. Instead ofhaving two violins the accompanying string quartet has two violas which complement the dark and warm timbre of the horn and lend the work a unique tonal effect. Echoes of motives from the 'Abduction from the Seraglio' allow usto suppose that it was composed around the same time as the Singspiel. As the autograph is missing this edition is based on the first edition. In addition the critical apparatus provides a careful evaluation of the secondarysources affording important insights into Mozart's intentions.

With the publication of the score and parts of the D-major Horn Concerto K. 412/514, the Mozart expert Henrik Wiese adds another milestone to his edition of this important work group which was begun in 2013. In the course of time, the piece that was first edited in the Old Mozart Edition of 1881 as Mozarts 1st Horn Concerto turned out to be a pasticcio: while the opening movement is indisputably by Mozart, the elaboration of the Rondo must now be attributed to Sussmayr. This movement is transmitted solely as a sketch in Mozarts hand. The present edition contains both the Sussmayr Rondo (K. 514 = smWV 502) and the Mozartian Rondo fragment (K. 412) which was carefully completed by Wiese. The performer will thus have the choice between the traditional version (with Sussmayr) and the version presumably intended by Mozart, all in one practical edition.In Cooperation with G. Henle Verlag. EB 10701 contains the parts for horn in F and Eb.
