Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Violin Concerto no. 1 B flat major K. 207
This is not only Mozart’s first concerto for the violin but his first concerto altogether. He composed it at the age of 17, writing it in Salzburg in 1773 two years before his other four violin concertos. And what a concerto it is! This new publication completes Henle’s series of Mozart‘s violin concertos and single movements, all of which are now available in exemplary urtext editions with easy-to-play piano reductions.

About the Composer

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Mozart is one of the few composers to have produced masterpieces in all genres. On the concert tours he undertook in his early years (London, Mannheim, Italy, Paris) he gained many varied musical impressions that he assimilated in his youth and which formed the prerequisite for his later consummate musical language.

The Preface gives a historical background to the concertos as well as a useful note on the different bow strokes used by Mozart. Here is a fine edition from this revered publishing house.The first movement is in the AMEB Grade 8 List B.
Music Teacher Magazine, 2004Painstakingly reconstructed from original manuscripts, the solo part is admirably clear, enhanced by Kurt Guntner's detailed suggestions for bowing and fingering. The keyboard reduction is equally as impressive, retaining the essential details while staying eminently playable. The violinist anxious to perform Mozart is spoiled for choice when presented with editions such as these.
