Hi Dan
We shall forgive the fact that you do in fact ask about two things... :) I
bought this edition when I thought I would not be able to find basset horns
for our performances of it here in NZ, however we did in the end buy a pair
simply for the first time we performed it :)

The first movement is complete - with the "adagio" called "largo" - go
figure... :)

From the Preface.....

"Remarkable is that Schink refers to a work in 4 movements. Even more
remarkable is that from the hand of a -regrettably - unknown arranger an
arrangement of the'Gran Partit(t)a' for 8 instead of 13 Winds : 2 oboes, 2
clarinets, 2 horns and 2 bassoons is known to exist and this work is split
up into two separate 'Divertimenti'. One 'Divertimento' (K App.182)
consisting of the movements 5, 4 and 6 was published in `971 by Edition
Peters in New York (no. 6306). The other 'Divertimento" (movements 1m 2m 3
and 7) is published for the first time in this modern edition.

Jan Joris Nieuwenhuis

Almelo, October 1989"

I hope this is helpful to you.

Thank you David. That is just what I needed to know. I have one further
question about that edition.

Does the first movement have the Adagio introduction of about 14 measures,
which precedes the Molto Allegro? Also, does the edition carry any notes
about the source of their publication?

Many thanks.

Dan Leeson
