Mozart Sinfonia Concertante (Original Version!) Part 1

[Arundodonax]

Original version, heh. Can you imagine trying to play that on an oboe from Mozart's day?

As an oboist myself, I have to say, getting up there and attempting to play all those fast high notes in front of a bunch of violinists for whom the part was originally written... takes guts.

[MaestroTJS]

I'm not against transcriptions at all (original version? I'm not so sure about that!), so this was interesting, especially since the bass oboe is all but non-existent. The main trouble is that the (regular) oboe goes so high in some passages that it ceases to sound like an oboe and becomes rather shrill. But that's bound to happen if you're transcribing from a violin part....

[papoocanada]

typical Mozart, he goes on ranting in the prelude, the soloists have nothing to do until Mr Wolfgang decides its time for their entry.

[lovesGenet]

[twosevj]

What a special performance. You don't get to see many Bass oboe's around! Awesome playing as those high notes can be hard to keep to pitch!!!

[malcken]

the original? I thought this piece was originally for violin and viola

[syrinx79]

I really enjoy this!! And even though she struggles some with her high register work, I give the oboist a lot of credit. That's not easy to do. And the bass oboe is just awesome. Alex Klein is an oboe god!!!

What is the K number?

Is the bass oboe (shalmoe) specified in the original instrumentation?

How (where) can the original music be found?

[brisw28]

This is originally for violin and viola with orchestra. Mozart would have been completely foreign with the bass oboe. The original is K 364. You could probably buy the original music for violin and viola. What an interesting idea do this for these instruments!

[lebu2006]

Where is this?

[shinka1911]

I love the sound of the Bass Oboe

[gerardtgibbs]

What about doing the Brahms double in the 'original version' now?

Sorry, this was interesting for only about two minutes.
