 The
solo violin's entry, 1st movt,
Concerto in D Major, K.218
Frankfurt, 1991. Oblong, 31 x 24 cm, 400 pp.
Halftone (in sepia color) of the autograph scores, reproduced from
originals scattered among three different libraries (Biblioteka
Jagiellońska - Krakow, Library of Congress - Washington, DC, and the
Staatsbibliothek Preußischer Kultur Besitz - Berlin). Includes
all
5 violin concerti, K.207,
211, 216, 218, & 219, plus the Adagio in E (K.261) and the Rondo in
B-flat (K.216a). As
the Köchel numbers imply, all the concertos were written within a
relatively short time span—1775. In a letter to his father dated Oct.
1777 he gives a brief account of a performance in which he himself
played the
solo: "In the evening at supper I played my Strasbourg Concerto
[K.218], which went like oil. Everyone praised my beautiful pure tone".
In the score the soloist doubles the first violin part and plays the
melodic solo while the other string parts become an accompaniment.
This complete facsimile edition of all the violin concertos is a
perfect
gift for any Mozart lover.
Limited
edition of 1000 copies. Handsome binding in dark blue linen with
Mozart's signature embossed in gold. $399
