Mozart’s Oboe Concerto: Lost & Found


Listen Later

Description
Mozart's Oboe Concerto in C major was composed in the summer of 1777, for his colleague the oboist Giuseppe Ferlendis. But shortly after that, went missing. Take a minute to get the scoop!

Fun Fact
Composed when Mozart was twenty-one, this oboe concerto is a delightful, untroubled, and relatively straightforward composition, cast in the usual three movements. The solo oboe throughout the movement entertains with a delightful variety of virtuosic figurations, and after a brief, almost perfunctory, middle "developmental" section, regales us with a cadenza. After which the movement quickly moves through familiar themes to the end.
