Description
In 1778, while in Paris, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) wrote to his father that he had written a Sinfonia Concertante for soli flute, oboe, horn, and bassoon with orchestra accompaniment, but that the work was replaced on the program by another at the last minute. Following this, Mozart supposedly left the score in Paris, and the sinfonia concertante was considered lost. Then, in 1869, Mozart biographer Otto Jahn discovered an anonymous manuscript copy in Berlin that Jahn deemed to be the lost Sinfonia Concertante, despite the solo instruments now being oboe, clarinet, horn, and bassoon. He was confident enough to pass the work to Ludwig Ritter von Köchel to be included in his Köchel catalog of Mozart works as K. 297b. And while the work was initially accepted as Mozart's, in part because the woodwind writing sounds so decidedly like Mozart's woodwind writing, the controversy of this work's origin had become a hotly debated topic starting in the early 20th century that continues until today. Regardless of its impenetrable mysteries, it retains wide appeal and remains a regular part of the concert repertoire for its heavenly woodwind sounds, melodiousness, and charm. Instrumentation: 0.2.0.0: 2.0.0.0: Str (4-4-3-3-3 in set): Soli Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, Horn in set.

More about this title

About the Composer: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) was an Austrian composer whose output across every major genre defined the Classical era. Working across symphonies, concertos, chamber music, operas, and sacred works, he demonstrated an unparalleled gift for melody and structural clarity that remains the foundation of Western classical music.

Mozart's woodwind writing stands as some of the most idiomatic and expressive in the orchestral repertoire. His deep understanding of oboe, clarinet, horn, and bassoon—developed through writing countless wind serenades and divertimenti—gives even his symphonic works a luminous quality that distinguishes them from his contemporaries.

Why we love this

The Sinfonia Concertante captures everything audiences cherish about Mozart: effortless melodic invention, transparent orchestration, and genuinely rewarding solo writing that engages four different woodwind personalities in conversation. Whether or not Mozart penned the original manuscript, the work's idiomaticity to his style and its reliable ability to captivate both players and listeners make it an essential addition to any orchestra's chamber repertoire.

What to expect

Graceful and sunlit, the Sinfonia Concertante unfolds with an almost conversational ease. The woodwind soloists trade phrases over gently rippling strings and spare brass punctuation, creating a chamber-like intimacy despite the full orchestral frame.

Who it's for

Chamber orchestras and smaller symphony orchestras with principal-level woodwind soloists who want to showcase their players in a work that demands genuine musicianship without imposing technical extremes. This piece rewards orchestras seeking repertoire that demonstrates Classical refinement and ensemble balance within a manageable instrumentation.

How to get the most out of it

  • Shape the opening theme in the first violins with the kind of gentle, singing line that makes the solo woodwind entrance feel like a natural continuation rather than a dramatic shift in focus.
  • Balance the four solo instruments so that no single voice dominates; the magic lies in their dialogue as equals, not in spotlight moments for any one player.
  • Maintain rhythmic clarity in the accompaniment figures, especially the repeated string patterns, so the soloists' more elaborate passagework remains in relief without the orchestra feeling thin.
  • Let the transitions between solo expositions breathe slightly; resist the urge to rush through connecting passages, as these moments of orchestral weight ground the piece's architecture.

How to use it

Program this work as a centerpiece on a Classical-focused concert, where it sits comfortably alongside Mozart symphonies or other divertimenti for woodwinds and strings. Its moderate length and gentle temperament also make it ideal for opening a concert or for mid-season programming when audiences appreciate repertoire that emphasizes clarity and melodic grace.

Skills your students will build

  • Balancing solo and ensemble textures in Classical forms
  • Transparent orchestration with limited instrumental forces
  • Classical phrase structure and motivic development across multiple solo voices
  • Idiomatic woodwind writing and doublet coordination between soloists
  • Accompaniment figure continuity that supports rather than obscures solo material
