Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) originally wrote his CONCERTO FOR OBOE in C Major, K. 314/274k, in 1777. One year later, he adapted the work to create his CONCERTO FOR FLUTE No. 2 in D, K. 314/285d for a commission from Dutch amateur flautist Ferdinand Dejean, although Dejean did not pay as the commission called for an original work. To Mozart’s credit, however, this flute concerto is not merely a transposition from C to D but rather an honest reworking. To the benefit of the flute repertoire, the work remains a widely studied piece and a showpiece for today’s most virtuosic soloists. Instrumentation: 0.2.0.0: 2.0.0.0: Str (4-4-3-3-3 in set): Solo Flute.
