Rondo in C Major, K.373 for violin and piano by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Edited by Zino Francescatti. Published by International
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) was one of the most prominent composers of the Classical period and is often considered one of the greatest composers of Western art music. A noted child prodigy, he excelled in all genres. His music is revered for its beauty, clarity, balance, and transparency, underpinned by sophisticated craftsmanship.
Mozart wrote alternate movements (an Adagio and Rondo) to two of his violin concertos to fulfill requests from violinist Antonio Brunetti. Mozart delivered on another request for Brunetti, this time not connected to a concerto at all: the ''Rondo'' in C Major, K.373, a worthy, if short, entry to the classical concertante repertory.
