DIV. MOZART, Wolfgang Amadeus (1756-1791)
Divertimento in B-Flat, KV App. 229/439b No. 2
1. Allegro (2:07)
2. Menuetto (4:00)
3. Larghetto (4:24)
4. Menuetto (4:09)
5. Rondo (4:04)
Netherlands Wind Ensemble
- Often performed by a trio of oboe, clarinet and bassoon, or various combinations thereof equaling three, I have sought out this recording because it is played by three basset horns, which seems to be the combination that Mozart intended.
- It is not in B-Flat Major, but rather F Major. It seems to have been transposed to C Major notation at some point, which is a Perfect Fifth above the basset horn's sounding pitch. So this one's in F Major.
- It is known when Mozart composed these five divertimenti, and there is probably an unknown sixth one (the number usually published as a set).
