Subj: [DR-L] Mozart (Bassoon) Question
Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2004 17:37:30 -0400
To the musicologists (closet or otherwise!) on the list, I have a
question about a single 32nd note in Mozart's Symphony Nr. 40 (g minor).
In the 2nd movement (andante) in measure 101 (or 2 measures after Letter
F), on the 3rd beat (of 6), 2nd pair of 32nd notes, my Kalmus 1st
bassoon part has a D-flat slurred to C natural. The C natural is clearly
dissonant and sounds wrong - also when the flute plays the same passage
later, there's definitely NOT a dissonance involved.
The conductor looked at his score and told me the score is definitely a
C natural, but I'm wondering if this is really an OLD misprint, and the
note should be a C-flat (this C-flat 32nd is used in measure 103, and
sounds correct.)
Perhaps a Mozart "specialist" could clear this up. If the conductor
insists on the C natural, I'll just keep a very "low profile" for that
particular note.
Thanks in advance for any help on this. Jim
