Wolfgang Amade Mozart

• Parthia in B after the wind octet the " Gran Partita " KV 361/370a arranged for flute, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon

Mozarts " Gran Partita " KV 361  never seemed printed in the 18/19th century or you frequently handed down as copy. On the other hand, there were copies and two prints for 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 horns and 2 bassoons of a setting numerously. This setting includes the movements 1,2,3,7 and this one possibly could be the original version of the known instrumentation, which of the clarinettists Anton Stadler 1784 listed. The wind octet was more popular certainly in the time then.

Two arrangements are still noted for quartet in the 18th century. Reason of the much processing it is not wrong to arrange a setting for wind quintet today.

• Divertimento in B  KV 270 arranged for woodwind quintet

This divertimento was composed in 1777 in Salzburg, originally for 2 oboes, 2 horns and 2 bassoons.

This divertimento has been arranged for wood wind quintet more than once. Unfortunately, those are arranged first to be easily playable but not that the original sound is nearly transformed into the new instrument combination. As both horn parts are composed in high B, the horn part of this new arrangement is not very easy but very close to the original. This arrangement has been performed with great success by the ensemble Avanti and shall now be available for other ensembles, too.
