Mozart belongs to everyone! The experience of actually playing Mozart's music makes him real and more than just a name we associate with old music. Stephen Bulla's arrangement of the first movement of what may arguably be Mozart's greatest symphony has a great deal of authenticity. Much more than many just the tune type transcription/ arrangements, Mr. Bulla's work ambitiously explores a good portion of Mozart's miraculous musical development, so that your musicians can begin to understand the true genius of the Classical icon. Those who know Mozart will appreciate the integrity of the transcription. Those who don't know Mozart have a wonderful treat in store!A classic!

In de zomer van het jaar 1788 schreef Mozart drie symfonieën tijdens een periode van ruim zes weken. Zijn Symfonie nr. 40 in G mineur (KV 550) was een van die grootse werken. Deze bewerking van het eerste deel van die symfoniegetuigt van de gratie van de componist, evenals zijn inventiviteit en zijn gevoel voor humor, dat altijd weer doorklinkt in zijn mooie muziek.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart war zeit seines leider nur kurzen Lebens ein äußerst produktiver Komponist. Im Sommer 1788, drei Jahre vor seinem Tod, schrieb er innerhalb von gut sechs Wochen drei Sinfonien. Die Sinfonie Nr. 40 in g-Moll ist eine davon. Stephen Bulla bearbeitete nun Auszüge aus dem ersten Satz dieses Werkes für Blasorchester. In seinem Arrangement arbeitete er trefflich die Anmut, den Erfindungsgeist und den unwiderstehlichen Humor, der Mozarts Musik zu eigen ist, heraus.

,,… the musical text is fine. This is a valuable improvement. (Clifford Bartlett, Early Music Review)

ISBN 9790004341728. 10 x 12.5 inches.

With the new edition of the G-minor Symphony, a vital work group in Mozart's oeuvre is now complete: the three late symphonies K. 543, 550 and 551, now available in Urtext editions. As in his new edition of the Hafner Symphony, Henrik Wiese uncovers in the present Breitkopf Urtext score three different stages in the genesis of the G-minor Symphony. Mozart initially wrote the work without clarinets (1st stage), and then he added the clarinets (2nd stage). Not until a final stage did he change the wind instrumentation in the Andante (3rd stage). Mozart thus returned to the 1st version again after completing the 2nd version (with clarinets). This advances the importance of the 1st version without clarinets as Fassung letzter Hand. A compelling insight which sheds new light on the famous G-minor Symphony. Both versions are of equal value and can now be compared with one another, studied and, above all, performed for the first time ever thanks to the new score and parts.Another extremly practical aspect that should be noted: the orchestral parts offer solutions for all the problematic page turns for the first time ever (please see the sample pages of OB 5542 - Violin II.),,... the musical text is fine. This is a valuable improvement. (Clifford Bartlett, Early Music Review)
