Product Description

This is an adaptation of the second movement from the Concerto in D Major for Flute and Orchestra, K. 314 by Mozart, arranged for a chamber ensemble called "Quintet for Piccolo", where the soloist is accompanied by a flute quartet. The work maintains the original structure but redistributes the orchestral lines to the quartet, creating a more accessible version for smaller ensembles. Mozart composed the original concerto in 1778 during his time in Mannheim as part of a commission for the flutist Ferdinand De Jean. The quintet adaptation, featuring the piccolo as soloist, follows the common Classical period practice of rearranging orchestral works for reduced ensembles, a method that facilitated the dissemination of music in domestic or chamber settings. The piccolo part, replacing the solo flute, explores the instrument's characteristic high register and projection, while the flute quartet assumes the harmonic and rhythmic functions of the orchestra. This version is intended for piccolo players interested in chamber repertoire or advanced students seeking to explore the dialogue between soloist and accompaniment in a more intimate format, while also expanding the repertoire for this instrument.
