Subj: Re: [kl] Mozart's favorite(s)?

Interesting you should mention this subject. This morning as I was taking
my daughter to school, I heard a piece on the radio, clearly Mozart, for
winds and piano. I probably should have been aware of it, but apparently
the piano kept it off my collection of all of Mozart's wind music. From
the announcer's description I believe it was: Quintet In E Flat For Piano
And Winds K.452 (oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn).

I thought it was a great piece of music and the announcer said (on what
authority I do not know) something to the effect that it was one of
Mozart's favorites at that point in his career.
