Summary of This Score
This Urtext edition gathers three of Mozart's great Violin Concertos (K. 216, K. 218, and K. 219) in a version designed for serious study as well as performance. The editorial work, overseen by Mozart specialist Cliff Eisen, is based on a thorough evaluation of the sources, with choices always oriented towards the demands of historically informed performance practice. The result offers a coherent, precise musical text, sometimes surprising in certain options, inviting the performer to refine decisions regarding articulation, ornamentation, and phrasing.
To enrich the soloist's approach, the volume includes cadenzas by Andrew Manze, internationally renowned concertmaster and conductor. They stand out for a very Mozartian balance between clarity of discourse, virtuosic spirit, and a sense of instrumental theater, while remaining idiomatic for the violin. On the accompaniment side, Werner Breig's piano reduction proves particularly transparent and enjoyable under the fingers, facilitating mutual listening and ensemble, whether in rehearsal, lessons, or auditions.
Ideal for violinists wishing to work on these concertos with quality material, this score provides a reliable resource to develop classical style, tone, articulation, and dialogue with the piano, while maintaining the musicological rigor typical of Urtext editions.
