Re: Mozart Quintet

Hi Mark, I was actually referring to the Concerto, I think that still exists? Is the concerto still around? Thank you by the way. Now I'm going out on a wild assumption here. I think one on the pieces was written in Austria.

As far as the Concerto and the Quintet I slurred 2 and tongued 2, on most of the passages. But sadly I never played these with the original versions. My favorite movements of both pieces are the second movements. I think they are the hardest. I use the quintet solo as the cadenza for the concerto. It just fits. Yes there are 50,000 versions of the cadenza.

Back to the end of the 16th note run. When the notes start on the low G I often slur this passage, because it can sound too busy with the articulation. Same with the 1st movement of the concerto. The notes are going up and up so I like to start softly and as get head to MF on the quintet and a shade bigger sound with the concerto. It's actually OK to slur this whole passage if you can't play it with a light tongue. Control your volume to make it exciting.

He travelled all over Europe. Actually played for the pope. His sister played the violin and piano. His parents had 6 children that did not survive. I better stop here. But when I play the second movements I think of him dancing with beautiful ladies. I often press the keys down firmly then lift them ever so slowly to feel the grace of him dancing. This helps get into the head of him dancing on a weekend with pretty ladies whom chased him. He was kind of famous.
