Subj: [kl] Mozart Concerto Question
Date: Fri, 22 Sep 2006 16:44:23 -0400

Dear list,

It has been a while since I've performed the Mozart concerto, and I'm doing
so twice this season (once next week). In the intervening years, a
practice of changing some pitches has crept in, and I would like to ask you
if you know the reasons behind it.

The pitches in question are first movement, measure 21, second beat, second
1/16th note changing it from G# in the violin part to G-natural. Also in
the clarinet part in measure 109, second beat, second 1/16th note, changing
it from written F# to F-natural, and the corresponding place in the recap,
changing from B-natural to B-flat.

My scores, and older recordings reflect the "sharper" versions, but my
newer recordings all reflect this flat change.

Who made this change? On what are they basing it?

Thanks for your help.
