Mozart: Concerto for Horn and Orchestra No. 1 in D Major KV 412 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozarts Horn Concerto No. 1 in D major, K. 412/386b was written in 1791. The work is in two movements: I. Allegro II. Rondo (Allegro) 6/8 This is one of two horn concerti of Mozart to include bassoons (the other is K. 447), but in this one he treats them indifferently in the first movement. It is the only one of Mozarts horn concerti to be in D major (the rest are in E-flat major) and the only one to have just two movements instead of the usual three. Although numbered first, this was actually the last of the four 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 and technique, perhaps in a nod to Leitgebs, the horn player and Mozarts great friend, advanced age and (presumably) reduced capabilities at the time of composition. The second movement was shown by Alan Tyson to have been finished by Mozarts student Franz Xaver Süssmayr after Mozarts death. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- FREE .mp3 and .wav files of all Mozarts music at: mozart-archiv.de/ FREE sheet music scores of any Mozart piece at: dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/start...
