Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Piano Quintet in E-Flat major K.452

Accompaniment: Harriet Wingreen, piano; New Art Wind Quintet - This luscious quintet is scored for piano, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon. Mozart's magnificent orchestration of the winds with piano creates a warm and glowing texture of sound, and each instrument emerges at times for a prominent position. Cast in three movements: Largo/Allegro moderato; Larghetto; and Rondo/Allegretto. Truly one of the great works in this format and wonderful fun to practice and perform. - Includes complete printed solo part (for horn in E-flat) on high-quality ivory paper; and a compact disc containing a complete performance of the quintet with soloist, then performed again minus the soloist.
