Mozart's String Quartet No 18 in A major KV464
I have arranged Mvt I (Allegro) for a standard wind quartet of flute, oboe, clarinet in A and bassoon.
(Clarinet in Bb is also provided.)
Retained in the original key, I have taken some liberties where the original parts fall outwith the compass of the wind instruments.
Violin 1 has been shared mainly between flute and oboe, and to a lesser degree to clarinet. I have not simply given the violin 1 part to the flute, which you may find in other arrangements both here, and elsewhere.
I have adapted the music for wind instrumentation, rather than simply copying the parts over as vln 1 to flute, vin 2 to oboe etc. ( e.g Changing the octave or arrangements of notes in a chord)
I have included the original repeats, but it is a quite a long blow for a wind player, without the repeats.
Try the repeats at your own risk!!!
Other quartets / movements are available.(Dissonance, Hunt, Spring)
Check out my other Mozart arrangements: Piano Sonatas, Divertimentos and other works, for other instrument combinations: wind trio, wind quintet etc.
