- Title:
- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: March for orchestra in C (K408, no. 1/383e)
- Scope & Content:
-
Autograph full score. Written in ink on systems of seven staves. Headed ‘Marcia’, and signed ‘di Wolfgango Amadeo Mozart m[anu] p[ropria]’ at top right, on f. 1r. Tempo direction ‘Maestoso’. ‘No. 1’ beneath the title is presumably a later addition; other additions are the date 1782 (altered from 1781) below Mozart’s signature [in hand of J.A. André], and ‘Eigner Handschrift’ [in the hand of G.N. Nissen] in the right upper margin. The numberings added to f. 1r include, in pencil at the foot of the page ‘155’, the manuscript’s number in André 1841.
Mozart subsequently made a keyboard arrangement of K 408/1 for his wife, Constanze (see Köchel, Verzeichnis; Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Neue Ausgabe Sämtliche Werke IX:27/2).
