Description
We know very little about Mozart's Divertimento in D Major, K. 334, which is still popular today: an autograph has not been preserved, and in the two editions published after Mozart's death there are in one case only four, in the other six movements. It is very likely that the divertimento is a "Robinische Musique", as mentioned a number of times in the Mozart family correspondence, which was composed in 1780 for a member of the respected patrician Robinig family, with whom the Mozarts were on friendly terms. Traditionally, such a divertimento was combined with a march as the opening and closing music. Since the March, K. 445 has the key and instrumentation in common with the Divertimento, K. 334 and its autograph could conceivably be dated to summer 1780, it is placed before the Divertimento in the present edition. Editor Felix Loy has carefully probed the complicated source situation and also provides in his preface a glimpse into contemporary music-making practice which allowed for larger or smaller ensembles in performances of this type of music. Henle offers in the Urtext both an edition for a six-piece chamber ensemble with one-on-a-part string instrumentation, as well as an alternative for chamber orchestra with string instrumentation of any size and with a conducting score.
Works:
- March in D Major, K. 445 (320c)
- Divertimento in D Major (320b), K. 334
Publishers use a lot of words to describe what they sell, and we know it can be confusing. We've tried to be as clear as possible to make sure you get exactly what you are looking for. Below are descriptions of the terms that we use to describe the various formats that music often comes in.
Choral Score
A score for vocalists that only contains the vocal lines. The instrumental parts are not there for reference. Generally, cheaper than a vocal score and requires multiple copies for purchase.
Facsimile
Reproductions of the original hand-written scores from the composer.
Full Score
For ensemble music, this indicates that the edition contains all parts on a single system (there are not separate parts for each player). In larger ensembles, this is for the conductor.
Hardcover
Hardbound. Generally either linen-covered or half-leather.
Orchestral Parts
Similar to a wind set, this is a collection of parts. In the case of strings, the numbers listed are the number of copies included, though generally these are available individually (often with minimum quantities required).
Paperback
When publishers offer multiple bindings (e.g. hardcover) or study scores, this is the "standard" version. If you're planning to play the music, this is probably what you want.
Performance / Playing Score
A score of the music containing all parts on one system, intended for players to share. There are not separate parts for each player.
Set of Parts
For ensemble music, this indicates that there are separate individual parts for each player.
Solo Part with Piano Reduction
For solo pieces with orchestra, this is a version that contains a piano reduction of the orchestra parts. For piano pieces, two copies are typically needed for performance.
Study Score
A small (think choral size) copy of the complete score meant for studying, and not playing. They make great add-ons when learning concertos and small chamber works.
Vocal Score
A score prepared for vocalists that includes the piano/organ part or a reduction of the instrumental parts.
Wind Set
For orchestral music, this is a collection of wind and percussion parts. The specific quantities of each instrument are notated.
With Audio
In addition to the printed music, the edition contains recordings of the pieces. This may be an included CD, or access to files on the internet.
With / Without Fingering (Markings)
Some publishers prepare two copies - a pure Urtext edition that includes no fingering (or bowing) suggestions and a lightly edited version that includes a minimal number of editorial markings.
