Mozart, Sinfonia Concertante for Four Winds (flute, oboe, horn, bassoon, and orchestra), K. 297B. Mozart wrote this first version of his Sinfonia concertante, for flute, oboe, horn, bassoon, and orchestra, K. Anh. 9 (279B), in Paris in April 1778. Then, he wrote a second version with a clarinet instead of the flute (K. 279b).
Movement 1: Allegro: 00:00
Movement 2: Adagio: 9:40
Movement 3: Andante con variazioni: 16:09
1. Allegro, in common time. This movement is in sonata form with three expositions rather than two -- one played by the orchestra, the other two by the soloists. It contains a written cadenza before the coda.
2. Adagio in common time, with "gentle exchanges of thematic material".
3. Andante con variazioni, a theme with ten variations and a coda. Each variation is separated by "identical, basically decorative orchestral ritornelli". This movement is in 2/4 time until the end of the last variation, where 6 adagio bars in 6/8 time lead to a coda in common time.
