W. A. Mozart – Horn Concerto No. 3 in E flat, K. 447

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Horn Concerto No. 3 in E-flat major, K. 447 was completed between 1784 and 1787, during the Vienna Period. The composition was written as a friendly gesture for the hornist Joseph Leutgeb (his name is mentioned few times in the score), and Mozart probably didn’t consider it as particularly important, since he failed to enter it to the autograph catalogue of his works. The autograph score remained well preserved; it is stored in the British Library in London.The concerto is scored for 2 clarinets in B♭, 2 Bassoons, Solo Horn in E♭ and strings.The work is in three movements:
I. Allegro (4/4)
II. Romance (Larghetto) (4/4)
III. Allegro (6/8)
This concerto “has clarinets besides bassoons and string for accompaniment. They bring warmth and light colouring to this most attractive work, and in spite of unadventurous support they partner the bassoons in many typical phrases.”
