Full score Henle Urtext edition of W.A. Mozart's String Quintets Volume 1. Mozart applied himself to this genre six times even giving important parts to the two violas. For this edition the editors were able to refer tothe autograph which is once again accessible. It shows Mozart’s intensive compositional work resulting in the fact that he composed the minuet and finale of the work a second time. The first version of both movements is includedin the appendix of our edition enabling insightful comparisons.

?Because I only need four parts to express everything? Haydn is said to have replied thus when asked why he had not composed a string quintet. Mozart saw things differently. He applied himself to this genre sixtimes even giving important parts to the two Violas. Following Volume II which contains the three most often played quintets we warmly recommend Mozart?s first Quintet K. 174 to ensembles (the 3rd andfinal volume was published in 2008). The editors were able to refer to the autograph which is once again accessible. It shows Mozart?s intensive compositional work resulting in the fact that he composed the minuet andfinale of the work a second time. The first version of both movements is included in the appendix of our edition enabling insightful comparisons.

A must for all ambitious String ensembles: this classic of the Henle catalogue has received a great many improvements based on the latest findings of scholarship. After years of research Beethoven‘s completeString Quintets are now available in a thoroughly revised set of parts and an improved appearance on the page. Needless to say the parts are accompanied by a study score (HN 9267).
