Quintet for Piano and Winds (Mozart)

Quintet for Piano and Winds (Mozart)

Quintet in E flat major for Piano and Winds is the common name of a composition by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart with the Köchel number of 452.

It is written for piano, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon. It is in three movements:
*I. Largo - Allegro moderato
*II. Larghetto
*III. Allegretto This structure closely resembles that of a typical sonata. The first movement is a sprightly sonata form Allegro, with themes being passed from instrument to instrument, usually with the piano introducing a theme and accompanying while the oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon play variations on it. The Larghetto movement is typical of the 2nd movement of any Mozart piece: soft and gentle, yet still engaging. The Allegretto movement is a "sonata-rondo" of the kind Mozart used as the finale of many of the piano concertos he was writing at this period, and contains a written-out cadenza-like section toward the end.

This piece was the inspiration for the Quintet in E flat for Piano and Winds, Op. 16, by Ludwig van Beethoven, who composed this tribute in 1796. Both compositions use the same scoring.
