Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quintet Bassoon,Clarinet,English Horn,Flute - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1409225 Composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Arranged by Daniel Kaplan. Baroque,Chamber,Classical. 27 pages. Daniel Kaplan #991865. Published by Daniel Kaplan (A0.1409225). Arrangement by Daniel Kaplan for woodwind quintet of Mozart's Prelude and Fugue No. 3 from his Six Preludes and Fugues for String Trio, K.404a. This is an original prelude by Mozart plus his arrangement (in F major) of the Fugue in F# major by J.S. Bach, BWV 882 (from Book 2 of the Well Tempered Clavier). Mozart wrote this to play at the Sunday musicales of Baron van Swieten in Vienna, who insisted that all participants perform music of Bach or Handel. Kaplan is engaged in a project to make classics from other genres available to woodwind players and has also arranged several other great works for this ensemble. The woodwind quintet is especially well suited for contrapuntal music since the distinctive tone colors of the wind instruments bring out the contrapuntal lines and make them clearer to the listener.Note that all six preludes and all six fugues from this work are also available as a single purchase on this website. This third Prelude and Fugue is being made available here for those who would rather buy one prelude and fugue at a time.
