Subj: [DR-L] Mozart Oboe Quartet
Date: Wed, 09 Aug 2006 05:11:19 -0400

Dear List (which is Not going out of business):
This habit/vice(?) developed over the years of writing about what I am
studying and asking others for suggestions is difficult to kick.
I find myself studying for performance this week the Mozart oboe
Quartet --the fourth time I do it over the years.But Mozart being
Mozart,there are always queries in addition to the preparation of miniscule
details.
Studying the arrangement for oboe and piano called "Concertino"by Southern
Music,I am, convinced that the grace notes or measures 30 and 43 are g
naturals and not g#,as indicated in the part because of the string
parts.Why?Because the g natural fits in better with the harmonies.
I also tend to agree with Alex Klein who observed in Muncie at his
master class that Mozart composed this hectic movement for the
"mad"character of oboist Ramm--therefore explaining the "crazy"jumps for
this epoch.
The second movement's Cadenza is another query on my mind. I once performed
as an orchestral member with a group of Brazilian chorinho(sort of but not
local blues) musicians performing Mozart and their cadenzas included
excerpts from Chorinhos.Why not personalize the Cadenza? (Once heard a
twelve tone Cadenza for the Mozart flute concerto!)
The two recordings I have are by Holliger and Goosens,but would appreciate
hearing about whatever recordings you might prefer and why.

Best wishes as I await not only answers(?) but new topics on this List which
remains ,

Harold Emert
