Mozart's 'Don Giovanni', one of the most frequently played and most popular operas since its world premiere in Prague in 1787, is based on the old familiar figure of the 'womanizer'. The character of the promiscuous Don Juan has at all times been the topic of research and discussions. The success of the dramatic character is owed to the audience's identification with him. The fact that this opera, on top of that, has been successful at all performances, is due to the combination of demanding libretto (Da Ponte) with the unmistakable music of Mozart. Apart from the libretto, this edition contains introductory commentaries of Kurt Pahlen who also adds information on the compositional structure and context to the musical as well as external and internal dramatic action of the opera. A short synopsis and a brief outline of the genesis bring the work into relation with the composer's entire oeuvre and life, thus offering a comprehensive, richly illustrated introduction.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote the oboe quartet in F, K-number 370, early in 1771 for the oboist Friedrich Ramm. In an impressive manner, this composition gives expression to the intimacy inherent in Mozart´s chamber music : After the introduction of the theme by the soloist, the supporting voices join in taking an active part in the musical flow of the first movement and converting the oboe´s soliloqui into a dialogue. An expressive, marvellous theme dominates the second movement, the suspense of which does not ease until the composition proceeds to the concluding rondeau - a rondeau almost bursting with its exuberant joie de vivre. This composition certainly ranks with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart´s best-known and most beautiful pieces of work. On the occasion of the Mozart Year 2006 I have ventured to write an arrangement for the saxophone quartet clair-obscur. To a large extent, I have retained the original key and octave positions ; for the parts which include technical difficulties well-tried alternative ossia possibilities are available. Mozart's oboe quartet is a real MUST and represents a great musical challenge to each saxophone quartet. Instrumentation : 4 saxophones (SATBar) KV 370 (368b)

Quartet in F - for Oboe, Violin, Viola and Violoncello. KV 370 (368b). 4 saxophones (SATBar). Partition et parties.

Mozart's three popular rondos, created in Vienna in the mid-1780s, are a many-faceted addition to his piano sonatas. These rondos include the rather easy-to-play Rondo in D major KV 485 and the pensive Rondo in A minor KV 511. The volume is completed by the Rondo in F major KV 494 which was later included by Mozart in his Sonata KV 533 as final movement. In the charming version of an individual piece, the work is somewhat easier to play than the sonata version ; thus, it will be a valuable addition to music lessons. The musical text is based not only on the first editions, but also on Mozart's autographs which are extant of all three pieces. Instrumentation : piano KV 485, 494 & 511

Les trois Rondos - KV 485, 494 & 511. piano.

These two sonatas in C major (KV 545) and A major (KV 331) are among the most popular of all Mozart's piano sonatas. KV 545 is a firm favourite with piano teachers and their pupils (for many pianists it is their first introduction to the sonata repertoire) and KV 331 with its famous variation movement and the renowned Rondo alla turca is one of the most popular works of the whole Viennese classical period. Instrumentation : piano KV 545

Piano Sonata  "Sonata facile" in C Major - Urtext. KV 545. piano.

Even though Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791), admittedly, was no fan of the flute, he wrote unforgettable music for this instrument 'that I can't stand' : two concertos, a double concerto with harp, the original version of the Wind Concertante and the four flute quartets. Commissioned by the Dutch physician and amateur musician Ferdinand Dejean, Mozart wrote his two solo concertos in 1777/78 during a stay in Mannheim. As the middle movement of the Concerto in G major KV 313 supposedly was too difficult for the client - with regard to the playing technique and/or music - the composer wrote an alternative version, 'Andante' KV 315 (285e). This nice individual movement is now presented in a carefully edited new edition, with a cadenza of the editor - a serenade-like setting that offers the soloist many possibilities for cantabile playing. Instrumentation : flute and piano K 315 (285e)

Andante - K 315 (285e). flute and piano.

" Bona nox, est-tu un vrai bœuf ? Bona notte, ma cocotte... " Le bœuf et la nuit tentent d'effrayer la petite fille. Mais elle leur jouera un bon tour. La célèbre chanson pour enfants de Mozart a inspiré Jutta Bauer, qui nous livre cet antidote contre la peur de la nuit.

Mozart composed these 12 Duets in 1786 for two basset horns without accompaniment. Their arrangement for recorders gives recorder players or beginners on the biolin a chance of practising classical music. The pieces should be played with full tone and good expression.
