Wolfgang
Amadeus Mozart's horn
concertos: the Mozart
expert Henrik Wiese edits
the central work genre of
Viennese classicism
according to the current
status of international
Mozart research. Mozart
wrote the Horn Concerto
K. 417 - like the other
works of this genre as
well - for his
horn-playing friend
Joseph Leutgeb. The jokes
which the composer made
at Leutgeb's expense are
wellknown. For example,
he called the dedicatee a
donkey in the autograph,
and, as Henrik Wiese
evidences in his preface,
Mozart also occasionally
enjoyed a bit of
tomfoolery with the
soloist in the musical
text as well.Otherwise
the editor's task was
anything but amusing. The
main source - the
autograph score - is
incomplete: missing are
the close of Movement I
as well as the entire
slow middle movement. For
these two sections, Wiese
used a copy of the score
from the archive of the
publisher Johann Andre.
The unusual circumstance
that Mozart generally
left the horn part almost
unmarked recurs in the
Concerto K. 417 and was
deliberately maintained
in the Urtext
edition.
with
parts for horn in F and
Eb major.
