Mozart Horn Concertos Complete (Full Score, hardback)

All four Mozart horn concertos are closely associated with the horn player Joseph Leutgeb, for whom they were written during the composer’s period in Vienna (between 1783 and 1791).  They display his compositional approach to the possibilities and limitations of the instrument at that time and were also influenced by Leutgeb’s skills as a performer; he was evidently a virtuoso of the hand-stopping technique on the horn.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791) - New Edition of the Complete Works
Series V/14/5
Edited by the International Mozarteum Foandation, Salzburg in cooperation with the Mozart cities of Augsburg, Salzburg and Vienna

The New Mozart Edition offers researchers a musicologically unimpeachable text based on all the available sources (first and foremost Mozart's autograph manuscripts). At the same time, it also serves as an aid to authentic performances.

The principal Series I to IX, containing Mozart's actual œuvre, appeared between 1956 and 1991. They are regarded as a supreme achievement of Mozart scholarship in our time; modern performances of Mozart's music are unthinkable without them. The important supplementary volumes shed fresh and illuminating light on neglected aspects of Mozart's creative work, such as his activities as a teacher or as an arranger of other composer's works.
