Product Description
The Serenade No. 10 for winds in B-flat major, K. 361/370a, is a serenade by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart scored for thirteen instruments: twelve winds and string bass. The piece was probably composed in 1781 or 1782 and is often known by the subtitle "Gran Partita", though the title is a misspelling and not in Mozart's hand. It consists of seven movements.
The serenade is in seven movements as follows:
- I. Largo. Molto Allegro
- II. Menuetto
- III. Adagio
- IV. Menuetto. Allegretto
- V. Romance. Adagio
- VI. Tema con variazioni
- VII. Finale. Molto Allegro
The work is scored for 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 basset horns, 2 bassoons, 4 horns and double bass. The double bass is occasionally replaced by contrabassoon; however, the part is clearly for the former as there are pizzicato markings at points.
Check out my separate entry for the score:There are alternative parts provided (for those groups who haven't got the full instrumentation) as follows:
Basset Horns 1/2: clarinets
Bassoons1/2: Bass Clarinets
Horns 3/4 In Bb: Horns in F
Flutes could be used to play the oboe parts.
