K407 or Kv407 - Originally written for horn and string quartet of vln, 2
vlas and cello, this was a tricky piece to arrange for wind quintet.
Mozarts composition rarely has any of the three lower strings playing
higher than the horn (when the strings are accompaning).
I made the decision, in my
arrangement, to share the violin part between oboe and flute. The clarinet
and bassoon cover 2nd viola and cello. The 1st viola part, when within the
range of oboe or flute is covered.
However, sometimes when the notes were too low for either flute or oboe, I
omitted them, but still retained Mozarts chord structure. I rarely transposed
them up an octave.
All of this, I feel, allows the horn
solo to come through and be heard.
I have enclosed both horn in Eb and
horn in F. (This is Mozart's original horn part.)
