Streichquintette - 2

Beschrijving

In the Mozart Year 2006, Henle will begin publication of all of Mozarts string quintets in a three-volume Urtext edition (parts and study scores). Volume II, comprising the best-known and most often played quintets in C major (K. 515), g minor (K. 516) and c minor (K. 406/516b) from 1787 is the first to appear. This Urtext edition contains an exciting finding: it draws upon a hitherto unknown source. Recently Ernst Herttrich, one of the two editors, found handwritten parts for these works, containing additions in Mozarts hand predominantly concerning dynamics and articulation. The music world is sure to eagerly await volumes I and III which are to be published in the course of the next two years.
