Composer: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791)
Performers: Andrew Clark (Natural Horn), Catherine Martin (Vioin), Katherine McGillivray, Jane Rogers (Violas), Alison McGillivray (Cello)
Quintet for Horn, Violin, 2 Violas and Cello in E flat major, K. 407
00:03 - I. Allegro
06:12 - II. Andante
12:08 - III. Rondo. Allegro
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed his Quintet in E flat major for horn, violin, two violas, and cello for horn virtuoso-turned-cheese-merchant Ignaz Leitgeb, possibly in Vienna in 1782. A work in three movements, the Quintet is essentially a horn concerto scored for chamber ensemble with the horn dominating the ensemble in the two outer movements. Indeed, for all their wit and charm, the two outer movements are as conventional as anything Mozart was writing at the time, albeit with themes filled with the affection the composer felt for his soloist. The central Andante, however, is of a much higher order, the tenderness of the horn matched by the gentleness of the violin, producing a duet of graceful perfection and profound humanity.
