Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote his Hafner Symphony K. 385 in the summer of 1782 on the occasion of the elevation into the nobility of his friend and patron Sigmund Hafner. Next to the well-known movements, this version (A) also contained the March K. 408/2 (385a) and possibly a second, no longer extant minuet. Called Hafner=Musique by Mozart, the work was unquestionably a serenade at first. In early 1783 Mozart then reduced the Hafner Music for his subscription concert at the Vienna Burgtheater on 23 March 1783 to a four-movement symphony. This is the form in which the work was first printed in 1785 (Version B). For a further performance, Mozart added flute and clarinet parts to the symphony. In 1805, this version (C) was published by Andre in Offenbach, who thus began making it known.The primary sources of the present Breitkopf Urtext edition are the autographs to K. 385 and K. 408/2 (385a). It thus becomes possible for the first time to play all three versions of the Hafner Music, since the variants of Versions A and B can be easily discerned through indications in footnotes and notes in small print.

The Prague Symphony will sound different with the new Breitkopf Urtext material.

The present edition is the first since 1932 to be based on Mozarts autograph score. It reflects the conviction that his autograph scores represent not only the substance of his works, but also actual performances. A Fassung letzter Hand is scarcely possible.Cliff Eisen, one of the leading Mozart specialists of his generation, takes particular care in bringing his expert knowledge of contemporary performance practice into play when evaluating authentic part material. In the Prague Symphony, Eisen comes to surprising conclusions in a number of cases, such as the delicate matter of the division of the bassoons led col basso. Which of the low strings are they intended to play along with? When read properly, the sources provided a clear-cut answer.
