Haydn's numerous divertimentos for strings and wind are cheerful, functional music about whose genesis we know very little. Many stem from Haydn's early years, when the composer had to keep his head a...

Though not nearly as well-known as the 'London Trios,' these six delightful divertimentos are Haydn's first pieces of chamber music to expressly call for the flute. Straightforward and full of Haydn's...

Mozart's famous statement to his father concerning this unique and singular quintet for piano and winds, scored for piano, oboe, clarinet in B-flat, horn in E-flat, and bassoon, should not be forgotte...

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...

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...
