Gran Partita K361 First Movement (Flute Choir)

Gran Partita K361 First Movement by W.A. Mozart, arranged by Melanie Thorne, Published by Sempre Music

The first movement of Mozart’s Gran Partita K361, opens with a slow introduction, but the rhythmic complexities of the score create a sense of anticipation of the following Allegro.  This was originally scored for 13 wind instruments, and the suitably contrasting timbres of the flute choir, provide an exciting alternative to the original.
