Description:

[Mozarts masterpiece Gran Partita has been transformed into a concerto-symphony by a contemporary composer, and a re-recording featuring Gebers meticulous approach is now available.]The Classical period was a time when the publication of sheet music became increasingly widespread. The publisher Andr, who had set his sights on Mozarts works, signed a publishing contract with Mozarts widow, Constanze, after his death. He hired Alois Senefelder, who had invented an innovative printing press, and the composer Franz Griesner, publishing as many as 20 works by 1800. This orchestral version of the Gran Partita is one of them. For the publication, Greisner arranged the wind ensemble masterpiece Gran Partita for the standard orchestral instrumentation of around 1800 (string ensemble, 1 flute, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons), reworking it into a new Concerto-Symphony.
