Concerto for Harp, Flute and Orchestra (Mozart)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Concerto for Harp, Flute and Orchestra in C major (K. 299) was written in 1778 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart during his sojourn to Paris. It was commissioned, yet was never received by Mozart, by the flautist Duke of Guines, Adrien-Louis de Bonnières, and his harpist daughter who was taking composition lessons from the composer.[1][2]
The concerto is unique and original in its the connection between two very different instruments and is often played in orchestras to display the talents of harpists.
The piece itself is divided into three movements:
