“Wolf
gang Amadeus Mozart's
(1756-1791) Flute
Concerto in D is an
adaptation of the
original Oboe Concerto in
C, which the composer
reworked in 1778. The
Concerto remains widely
studied and performed on
both instruments, making
it one of the more
important Concerti in the
woodwind repertoire.
Concerto in D is in three
movements; 1. Allegro
aperto, 2. Adagio non
troppo, and 3. Rondo:
Allegretto. The first and
last movements are in the
tonic key, whilst the
second movement is in the
subdominant key of G
major. A Dutch flautist
of the time, Ferdinand de
Jean, commissioned Mozart
for four Flute quartets
and three Flute concerti.
However, the composer,
who famously disliked the
Flute, only completed
three quartets and one
concerto. Instead of
composing a second
concerto, Mozart
rearranged his Oboe
Concerto, with
substantial changes for
it to fit with the Flute.
De Jean did not approve,
yet the Concerto in D for
Flute remains as popular
to this day as the
Concerto in C for
Oboe.â€.
