De Gruyter - Mozart Blaserkonzertante Kv 297b/Anh. I,9 Study

Explore the mystery of Mozart's lost compositions with this scholarly investigation from the Abhandlungen der Akademie der Wissenschaften Zu Gottingen. This work examines the authenticity of the so-called Mozart Blaserkonzertante Kv 297b/Anh. I,9, a piece that has long puzzled music historians. In 1778, Mozart wrote letters from Paris mentioning a Sinfonie-Concertante for four solo wind instruments and orchestra that could not be performed due to an intrigue. While the work was considered lost, a score was later found in the estate of Mozart biographer Otto Jahn. Despite being performed as Mozart's lost Parisian composition, its true origin and authenticity remain unproven. This publication provides a deep academic look into the question of authorship, making it a necessary resource for researchers, musicologists, and enthusiasts of classical music history.
