Summary of This Score
Published during the Mozart Year 2006, this Henle Urtext edition opens a new chapter for string ensembles and chamber music enthusiasts. The three-volume publication aims to bring together all of Mozart's string quintets in a reliable, clear format suitable for both study and performance. The project begins with volume II, focused on the most famous and frequently programmed works, all dated 1787 : the Quintet in C major K. 515, the Quintet in G minor K. 516, and the Quintet in C minor K. 406/516b.
This release stands out for a major musicological contribution: the editorial team utilizes a previously unknown source uncovered by editor Ernst Herttrich. These are manuscript parts related to these works, containing annotations attributed to Mozart, notably regarding dynamics and rhythmic accentuation. For performers, this translates into a more nuanced reading of musical phrasing, better-informed articulation, and valuable cues for shaping the balance and character unique to each movement. A prime reference for an established quintet, conservatory work, or any ensemble seeking a demanding Urtext edition in service of stylistically accurate interpretation.
