Single Movements for Violin and Orchestra K261, 269 and 373 [HL:51480707]

For years Henle has been issuing urtext piano reductions of Mozart's works for violin and orchestra at six-month intervals. Now the time has come for the three single movements. These incomparable treasures of the violin literature are too well-known to require special praise here. Each solo part appears in an impeccable urtext edition accompanied by cadenzas, improvised lead-ins (Eingänge), fingering, and bowing marks. The piano reduction sounds beautiful and is easy to play – or, to quote Mozart's own words, “it comes off as smooth as silk.”

Fing. Vl.: Kurt Guntner

Cadenzas: Kurt Guntne

Piano reduction: Siegfried Petrenz
