Mozart - Andante K 315 for Flute and Piano

Even though Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) admittedly was no fan of the flute he wrote unforgettable music for this instrument 'that I can't stand': two concertos a double concerto with harp the original version of the Wind Concertante and the four flute quartets. Commissioned by the Dutch physician and amateur musician Ferdinand Dejean Mozart wrote his two solo concertos in 1777/78 during a stay in Mannheim. As the middle movement of the Concerto in G major KV 313 supposedly was too difficult for the client with regard to the playing technique and/or music the composer wrote an alternative version 'Andante' KV 315 (285e). This nice individual movement is now presented in a carefully edited new edition with a cadenza of the editor a serenade-like setting that offers the soloist many possibilities for cantabile playing.
