The original text is found in the HENLE edition, prepared by Hendrik Wiese. Look under HENLE VERLAG Muenchen.
And it is not "uhrtext", which means "text of the watch" but "urtext", meaning "original first text". As the concerto no.3 K.447, which was the no.1 written by Mozart & published such by Andre in Offenbach 1801, is the only horn concerto by Mozarts hand completely existant, there is no reason why to edit it at all. All is available by Mozarts hand. If you think, inserting some slurs or staccato dots be editing, than you are wrong. These thgings are inserted for practical use, nothing else. These things are up to the soloist´s freedom. But inserting trills or grace notes or starting the given trills by a higher grace note would change the style definitely, as these trills would be preclassic & rather Leopold Mozartesque than (W.A.) Mozartian. There are indeed some prominent solists who dare to change notes here & there in masterpieces, just to make them different. Famous Hans Richter (horn soloist & worl famous conductor in Wagners time) would have accused these soloists as "musical criminals". I possess such an original (autograph) letter by his hand. Daniel, if you listen to Dennis Brains recording you will hear pure Mozart, nothing else, no Dennis Brain, but Mozart. Dennis Brain used his art to serve to the genius. That´s exactly what we should do. With violins it was David Oistrakh, who did so. ============================================================ ================================================= -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daniel Canarutto Sent: Sunday, November 27, 2005 3:39 PM To: horn@music.memphis.edu Subject: [Hornlist] Dover score question A question about the Dover score printing of Mozart's 3rd concerto, K447.
