Mozart - Andante in C major for Flute and Orchestra
Sheet music for flute
| Info: | The Andante in C for Flute and Orchestra, K. 315/285e was commissioned by Ferdinand De Jean as a possible replacement or alternative second movement for the Flute Concerto No. 1 in G major (K. 313). Supposedly, the commissioner of the K. 313 concerto, De Jean, disliked the original Adagio and had Mozart compose the shorter Andante to replace it; however, it is also speculated the Andante may have been part of the third flute concerto Mozart was commissioned to write for De Jean but never completed. |
