Program Notes

Wonderfully light and stylish, this transcription presents the music of a youthful Mozart. Very playable, the music seems to dance off the pages to the delight of the listener.

- Program Note from publisher


Symphony No. 15 (K. 124) was competed in Salzburg on February 21, 1722, probably for a Lenten concert spirituel or for the installation of the new Archbishop, Hieronymus Joseph Franz. Mozart's jolly Finale shows the influence of the Italian opera buffa, probably the result of his recent visit to Milan. Like many symphony finales, this presto is in rondo form.

To celebrate the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth, this arrangement was commissioned by the Western Wisconsin Middle Level Honors Band.
