Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Sinfonia Concertante in E-flat major, K. 297b for Oboe, Clarinet, Horn, Bassoon, and Piano. Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante in E-flat major, K. 297b, is a distinctive hybrid of symphony and concerto, written for four wind soloists - oboe, clarinet, horn, and bassoon - with orchestra. Likely composed around 1778, though the original manuscript is lost, it showcases the unique character of each instrument in a balanced, conversational style. The work features elegant melodies, rich orchestration, and a graceful interplay between soloists and ensemble, reflecting Mozart’s growing mastery of wind writing. Though questions remain about its authenticity and reconstruction, it remains a popular and charming example of Classical-era innovation. Here it is presented with a piano reduction in three movements: Allegro, Adagio, and Andante con variazioni
