Mozart: Flute and Harp Concerto in C major, K 299/297c (with Score)

[@dragondaemonis3801]

This is definitely in my top 10 Mozart pieces. Only he could write such a wonderful concerto for this strange combination of instruments and make it sound like it is the purest and most natural thing ever. And those melodies...the beginning of the second movement is incredibly moving.

[@miguelfontesmeira]

Only Mozart could compose so naturally having being commissioned and hating the solo instrumentation. It's amazing!

[@dragondaemonis3801]

@@miguelfontesmeira That's true. Mozart couldn't compose bad things even if he tried to.

[@Dylonely_9274]

Same for me.

[@mduftube]

He wasn’t even a big fan of the flute, or the harp for that matter, and he had to write for the skill level of the patron he wrote this for. That he could juggle all that and still produce such a sublime masterpiece is astonishing.

[@simonkawasaki4229]

Lots of great textures in this specific concerto. You rarely hear so much pizzicato in other Mozart concerti. And the primary theme of the first movement with the octaves is really cool.

The whole thing is as brilliant as fine cut crystal reflecting candlelight.

1st movement 0:05 begins | 5:36 intro | 2nd movement 3rd movement

As a musical composer mozart is true genius

[@andrewb.7613]

Ironically, Mozart disliked the flute and harp a lot and yet still put this out. Amazing. Haha.

[@kikicallahan3662]

The first movement of this was in Baby Mozart, the second movement was in Amadeus and the third movement was in Brainy Baby.

Does anyone know who wrote the cadenzas they play? They’re quite beautiful.

Terrible cadenza by the performer/s as usual with classical era music -_- Good piece however.

Why do you think it is ?

@@wolfie8748 They added new measures to the music, rather than extending an existing one. It ruins the form.

It is a masterful piece---not merely "good," and certainly superior to Wölfl.
