The Story

For Piano, Oboe, Clarinet, Horn and Bassoon

Mozart's famous statement to his father concerning this unique and singular quintet for piano and winds, scored for piano, oboe, clarinet in B-flat, horn in E-flat, and bassoon, should not be forgotten: "I myself consider it the best thing I have yet written in my life." The only relevant source for this new Urtext edition is Mozart's clean and almost error-free autograph score, preserved today at the Bibliothèque nationale in Paris. A page of music with a spurious ending was smuggled into it, a fact revealed (and elucidated) for the first time in the present Henle edition.
