Mozart: Concerto for Horn and Orchestra No. 4 in E flat Major KV 495 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozarts Horn Concerto No. 4 in E-flat major, K. 495 was completed in 1786. The work is in three movements: I. Allegro moderato II. Romance (Andante) III. Rondo (Allegro vivace) 6/8 The manuscript, written in red, green, blue, and black ink, was formerly considered as a jocular attempt to rattle the intended performer, Mozarts friend Joseph Leutgeb. However, recently it was suggested, that the multicolored score may be also a kind of color code. The last movement is a quite obvious example of the hunt topic, in which the intervallic construction, featuring prominent tonic and dominant triads in the main melody, was to some degree dictated by the capability of the horn, and so was more closely allied with the original pure characteristics of the chasse as an open-air hunting call. This concerto is one of Mozarts two horn concerti to have ripieno horns (horns included in the orchestra besides the soloist), though in contrast to K. 417, the solo horn in this one duplicates the first ripieno horns part in the tutti passages. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- FREE .mp3 and .wav files of all Mozarts music at: mozart-archiv.de/ FREE sheet music scores of any Mozart piece at: dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/start...
