Product Description
The Adagio and Fugue in C minor, K. 546, is a composition by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart for strings. Mozart entered it into his own work catalogue on 26 June 1788 in Vienna as "A short Adagio for two violins, viola and bass, for a fugue which I wrote some time ago for two Pianos". The fugue in question was the two piano fugue in C minor, K. 426, written in December 1783.
The work is in two sections:
- Adagio
- Fuga (Allegro)
The 52-bar Adagio has a very ominous and foreboding tone; musicologist Robert D. Levin said: Angular outbursts alternate with an unearthly hush; its suggestions of violence and mysticism make the ensuing geometry of the fugue seem a relief.
This arrangement for sax quartet (Bb Soprano, Eb Alto, Bb Tenor, Eb Baritone) is a faithful transcription of the original.
