Description:
We know from letters to his father that Mozart wrote a Sinfonia concertante for flute, oboe, horn, bassoon and orchestra during his stay in Paris in 1778 for a quartet of wind soloists who were also present there - Mozart's autograph was lost and the work has disappeared.
In the 19th century, a copy of a Sinfonia concertante in E flat for oboe, clarinet, horn, bassoon and orchestra emerged. In the 19th century, a copy of a Sinfonia concertante in E flat for oboe, clarinet, horn, bassoon and orchestra emerged, for which Mozart's authorship was claimed and which - despite the different instrumentation of the wind quartet - was associated with the Sinfonia concertante, which was believed to be lost. The work was long regarded as genuine, but for around 25 years doubts have been vehemently raised about its authenticity, not only with regard to the scoring of the solo quartet but also the orchestral parts.
Robert Levin's reconstruction is based on the assumption that the solo parts are genuine in essence and have been reorchestrated by a different arranger (flute to oboe, oboe to clarinet). Levin considers the orchestral parts to be spurious. In his reconstruction, Levin restored the instrumentation of the soloist quartet with flute, oboe, horn and bassoon mentioned in Mozart's letters and rewrote the orchestral parts. Thorough analysis of Mozart's style and a precise knowledge of Mozart's writing enabled Levin to take the risk of this reconstruction. It is available for hire (BA 7137) and is part of the popular repertoire for solo winds.
