W. A. Mozart "The Concerto for Flute and Harp in C major"
Yuchao | English | 2006 | ISBN: N/A | 53 pages | PDF | 3.8 MB

The score of The Concerto for Flute, Harp, and Orchestra in C major (K. 299), a composition that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote the concerto in April of 1778, during his six-month sojourn in Paris. It was commissioned by Adrien-Louis Bonnieres de Souastres, Duc de Guines (1735-1806), a flutist, for his use and for that of his older daughter, Marie-Louise-Philippine, a harpist, who was taking composition lessons from the composer.

It is one of only two true double concertos that Mozart wrote, as well as the only piece of music that Mozart wrote that contains the harp. The piece is one of the most popular such concerti in the repertoire, as well as often being found on recordings dedicated otherwise to either one of its featured instruments.
