Concerto in G Major, K.313 For Flute And Piano

for Flute & Piano Reduction

By Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

As a flute teacher I would say this Concerto is NOT intermediate at all. It is advanced and used for professional orchestral auditions all the time. Why? Because of the difficult articulations, rhythms, and passage work that only a very advanced flutist is able to pull off. I wish publishers...

would include cadenzas with these concerti but you must buy them separately. Gaubert wrote an wonderful cadenza for this exact concerto. James Galway's editing reflects his unique style of playing and if you listen to the recordings he's done of this piece PLUS learn the edited flute part then you'll play with a certain ammount of brilliance, for sure. Because Galway was a student of both Marcel Moyse (who was taught by Philippee Gaubert of 17 Big Daily Finger Exercises), he is part of that wonderful French flute lineage. Galway's interpretations are tried and true and of good musical taste.

I think that this is a great concerto to learn. The different movements give the piece a flowing quality. This piece takes a little while to learn, but over a while you begin to understand it. This is a great audition piece. This is not a tltle for beginners, but...

if you work hard at this piece, you should get the hang of it.

This is a very good first concerto to learn. Mozart is very stylistically difficult, but as this piece technically goes, it's not very hard at all. This is a concerto you'll play for everything. Unfortunately, James Galway (along with Rampal and Wummer) is a horrible editor.

I had to play this piece for an audition. It took 6 months to get the first movement. and it still wasn't perfect. I only recommend this piece for the adult and very advanced student.
