String Quartet No. 14 in G Major, KV. 387 “Spring”
The New York Woodwind Quintet Library Series by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart String Quartet - Sheet Music
The New York Woodwind Quintet Library Series. Composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Edited by William Purvis. Southern Music Woodwind. Classical. Southern Music Company #SU782. Published by Southern Music Company (HL.124646).
UPC: 884088983765. 9.0x12.0x0.473 inches. Mozart/trans. William Purvis.
The first question is why transcribe a work such as Mozart's String Quartet KV 387, which is so perfectly rendered in the original, for another instrumental ensemble? The only answer for wind players is to have the opportunity to play and learn from this great work directly. Mozart loved the wind instruments, but wrote for them rather differently than for the strings. Of course, it is much easier for the strings to produce a seamless, blended sound. The winds, which all produce sound differently, will have to work hard for this, particularly in the first and third movements of KV387. In the second movement, with its strange sudden dynamic changes highlighting individual voices, and in the fourth movement, with its brilliant contrapuntal writing (a fourth movement of the Jupiter Symphony in miniature), the winds can contribute more color and individuality.
