Prank or
Color Code? Mozart
composed all of his horn
concertos for Joseph
Leutgeb, a long-standing
friend of his family. In
Salzburg Leutgeb was in
the service of the court
ensemble as horn player
and violinist before
departing for Vienna,
where he became known as
a performer of Mozart's
horn concertos. In 1786
Mozart wrote his fourth
horn concerto in E flat
major, which,
unfortunately, survives
only as an incomplete
fragment. For the present
new edition in Breitkopf
Urtext, a reliable early
print for the missing
sections is used.
Nevertheless, this
autograph is still a very
valuable source, since it
contains Mozart's
notation of the work in
colored ink! The question
as to whether this was
one of Mozart's typical
jokes aimed at Leutgeb or
whether he had something
else in mind, remains
inconclusive to this day.
Whoever is curious can
take a guess as well,
since Breitkopf is
printing (in its new
edition and in autograph
form) the sections in
color that were
originally transmitted as
such.
