Mozart: Horn Concerto No. 1 in D Major

Performed by Shen Yun Artists:
Gabriel Wang, *Horn*   
David Gao, *Conductor*
Shen Yun Symphony Orchestra

Of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s four works for horn and orchestra, the Horn Concerto No. 1 in D Major, K. 412/386b, is the shortest and perhaps most storied. Although it is “No. 1,” Mozart actually wrote it last and left it incomplete at the time of his death in 1791. It is also the only one of his horn concertos that is not in the key of E-flat. 

The piece is constructed in two movements and is orchestrated for strings, two oboes, and two bassoons. Like the other horn concertos, Mozart wrote the piece in honor of his great friend and celebrated soloist Joseph Leutgeb. But when Mozart passed away soon after completing the first movement, Allegro, the work was left to the composer’s student. Franz Xaver Süussmayr, most famous for completing Mozart’s Requiem, is also credited with completing the concerto’s second Rondo movement based on Mozart’s sketches and notes he received from Leutgeb. 

Today, the D Major Horn Concerto remains one of the most regal and sparkling pillars of the Classical horn repertoire.
