ISMN#979-0-3071-0029-9

ASCAP WORK ID# 934131883

This advanced intermediate arrangement for woodwind quintet of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Divertimento (String Quartet No. 25 KV 137) is ideal for recitals, contests, competitions, weddings, graduations, and children's concerts or educational outreach. It is characterized by youthful energy, an Italianate melody, and lightheartedness. It starts with a lyrical Andante, followed by a fast, energetic Allegro di molto, and concludes with a swift, playful Allegro assai.

This three-movement transcription of a Classical Era work was written for most advanced ensembles, from college groups to professional quintets. I have included an alternate bass clarinet part in lieu of a missing bassoon. Originally scored for strings, I hope you enjoy this unique setting for winds of a Classical Era Mozart treasure.
