Composer: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Editor: Henrik Wiese, Wolf-Dieter Seiffert
Fingering: Klaus Schilde
Format: Softcover, Urtext Edition
Version: Study Score (pocket score)

This pocket score brings together two Mozart quintets that are extraordinary both for their instrumentation and for their musical profundity: the piano quintet K. 452 in E-flat major for piano, oboe, clarinet in B-flat, horn in E-flat, and bassoon, and the quintet K. 617 ("Adagio and Allegro") in C minor for glass harmonica (piano), flute, oboe, viola, and violoncello. Mozart's own statement about his quintet for piano and winds is famous: "I myself consider it the best thing I have yet written in my life". And the glass harmonica quintet, Mozart's very last chamber music work, is a surprise even for many a seasoned Mozart connoisseur.

Contents:

• Adagio and Rondo for glass harmonica (Piano), Flute, Oboe, Viola and Violoncello c minor KV 617
• Quintet for Piano, Oboe, Clarinet, Horn and Bassoon E flat major KV 452
