In his autograph of this concerto Vivaldi writes 'Flautino' - which does not make it quite clear whether the work is to be played on the f-soprano (sopranino) recorder or on the piccolo transverse flu...
On their way to Salzburg, Constanze and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart made a stopover in Linz in the fall of 1783. The stay was productive: the 13-voice, four-movement Linz Symphony was created. To compose...

Die Ausgabe für Flöte und Klavier enthält zusätzlich ein Faksimile der Solostimme der Erstausgabe sowie Kadenzen, die aus den ältesten handschriftlichen Quellen stammen oder nach Mozarts Vorbild von H...
Without Carl Reinecke's D major Concerto Op. 283, the 19th century would be a white patch on the repertoire map of the 'flute concerto' genre. Reinecke's work continues to assert its well-deserved pla...
This much-beloved flute piece is probably an alternative slow movement for Mozart's Flute Concerto in G major, and in its version with piano accompaniment it is indispensable to today's flute teaching...
Henrik Wiese, the internationally renowned orchestral and solo flautist, has spent four years compiling what promises to be the definitive guide to audition repertoire for students preparing for a sea...
Ever since Mozart encountered the clarinet in Mannheim in 1778 he loved the instrument's warm and expressive tone. His friendship with Anton Stadler, the clarinetist in the Royal-Imperial Court Orches...
Did Mozart intend this work to be a duo for two bass instruments, or - as the simple basso-like manner of the second part suggests - a sonata for bassoon and keyboard instrument? We will probably neve...
Mozart's 'daily bread' for horn players in a particularly delightful Urtext edition. The fragmentary Rondo is not only offered in the well-known Süßmayr version, but also in a very stylistically confi...
Henrik Wiese has created a great stir in recent years with his many Mozart editions for Henle. He adheres strictly to Mozart's autograph score, allowing only a few sporadic editorial additions and dis...
Mozart's clean autograph provides a secure basis for this Urtext edition, which deliberately does not level minor subtleties and deviations by Mozart at parallel and repeated passages. The horn parts...
Oddly, Mozart wrote out the score of his most famous horn concerto not only in black ink but also in red, green, and blue. Whether he meant this as a genial prank or had higher aspirations in mind wil...
The most beautiful and significant clarinet concerto in the history of music is now appearing in a Henle urtext edition. The piano reduction is accompanied by two separate parts: an urtext edition of...
The only oboe sonata by the Bach student Kirnberger appeared in the anthology 'Vermischter Musikalien' in 1769, which can be seen as a sign of compositional appreciation.
Mozart is believed to have written an oboe concerto for the Salzburg virtuoso Giuseppe Ferlendis in 1777. The work was considered lost until 1920, when Bernhard Paumgartner discovered a copy of the pa...
First Edition
As the composition teacher of Princess Anna Amalia of Prussia, the sonatas offer insights into the multifaceted teaching practices of the time. Authentically edited according to three sources.
The complete edition of the 10 sonatas for flute and bc. handed down by Kirnberger is completed with the present 6th volume. The whole is indispensable for school and concert.
The Musical Circul is a rondo that modulates through all the minor keys. With the 6th flute sonata the series continues on completion of this instrumentation.
This duet arrangement from the late 18th and early 19th centuries of Mozart's 'Cosi fan tutte has served as a basis for modern-day editors. Whilst retaining many aspects of the original flute arrangem...
Arranging the three gamba sonatas BWV 1027 - 1029 for flute and obbligato harpsichord or piano may at first seem rather daring. The three-octave range of the viola da gamba (B - e flat2) that Bach use...
In this edition of the 'Flute Collection' Henrik Wiese, principal flutist with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, presents two works by French composer and flutist François Borne (1840-1920), arra...
Late in the evening on his name day in 1781 Mozart was on his way to bed when he suddenly heard familiar sounds coming from outside: the six musicians who had given the première of his Serenade in E-f...
What might have occasioned Mozart to rework his original Serenade for sextet into a version for octet (with two oboes) only a few months after he had completed it? Was there an 'external” cause? Once...
Reicha published a total of 24 wind quintets for the 'classical' scoring of flute, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon; op. 88 no. 2 is one of the best-loved and most played. 'If it were possible to surp...
A very readable foreword and extensive Critical Commentary with all necessary information enrich this Urtext edition by master Munich flautist and Mozart expert Henrik Wiese. One may learn there, for...
A genuine discovery! Written at the same time as the Magic Flute, this is Mozart's final piece of chamber music. Anyone lacking a glass harmonica should try it with a piano or a harp (it has even been...
The Trio in G minor op. 63 for piano, flute and violoncello, published in 1820, is one of the few chamber music works by Carl Maria von Weber. In the finale one finds some echoes from Weber's probably...
I've had to turn out a serenade on short order': these lines from Mozart to his father offer a glimpse into the everyday life of a composer dependent on patronage. Mozart was about to be married when...
'Wind music of a very special nature on a large-scale, a composition by Hr. Mozart' - this was the way the 'Wiener Blättchen' announced the concert in the National Court Theatre, in which the clarinet...
We not only owe three of Mozart's horn concertos to his friendship with Ignaz Leutgeb; the solo part of this unusual chamber music work was also written especially for him. Instead of having two violi...
When and where was Mozart's flute concerto written and for whom? 1777 or 1778, Salzburg or Mannheim? How much did Ferdinand Dejean actually pay, only 96 or the promised 200 florins?
First the general news on the consistently closed group of works: with the new edition of the G minor Symphony, the three late Mozart works K. 543, 550 and 551 are now available in the Breitkopf Urtex...

Without Carl Reinecke's Concerto in D major op. 283, the 19th century would be a pretty white spot on the repertoire map of the genre 'flute concerto'.
