- Title:
- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Adagio and Rondo in C minor/major for armonica, flute, oboe, viola and cello (K617)
- Scope & Content:
-
Autograph full score. Written in ink on systems of 6 staves. The movements are ‘Adagio’ (ff. 1r-2v), and [Rondo] ‘Allegretto’ (ff. 2v-8r). The names of the instruments against the first system on f. 1r include ‘Harmonique’ for the glass harmonica. Later annotations in ink to f. 1r are ‘Von Breitkopf herausgegeben’ and ‘Mozart’s handschrift’ [both in G.N. Nissen’s hand], and a further attestation of authenticity signed ‘H[einrich] Henkel K[on]z[er]t M[eister]’. Below this last, in the right hand margin, Zweig has written in pencil ‘Harmonikaquintett’; various numbers added include in pencil ‘260’, the number in André 1841. With the autograph score is an apparently contemporary copy (ff. 9r-11v) of the armonica part; written in ink on systems of two staves, headed ‘Harmonique’, and also annotated by H. Henkel. Entered in Mozart’s own Verzeichnüss (Zweig MS 63) under date of 23 May 1791, where the entry reads ‘Adagio und Rondeau für Harmonica, 1 flauto, 1 oboe, 1 viola e Violoncello’.
