SOMERVILLE, Mass. - eMusicWire -- Noteworthy Sheet Music, LLC (NSM) is an online sheet music publisher, specializing in but not limited to flute and alto flute music, with a catalog of over 200 editions. They offer original works by distinguished contemporary composers, re-notated versions or facsimiles of rare historical scores, and unique transcriptions and arrangements of pieces from the classical repertoire. Selected NSM publications are offered as professionally-printed hard copy editions, while most are available as convenient PDF downloads from the NSM website.
NSM has just published John W. Pratt's excellent flute quintet arrangement of Mozart's Quintet No.4, K.516, originally for strings.
- excerpted from John W. Pratt's foreword to the edition:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote six quintets for 2 violins, 2 violas, and cello. Two of these, K.515 in C major and K.516 in G minor, are generally regarded as high points in Mozart's, and indeed all, chamber music. // Performances of the Mozart G-minor quintet are infrequent, far less than such great music deserves, since there is not enough repertoire to support permanent quintets and string quartets have an abundance of great music to play without needing to find an additional violist. Adaptation to flute quintet is thus particularly apropos, as its textural possibilities apply also to a flute quintet, and its musical and emotional content are well worth viewing through the prism of five flutes. The work is bass-light, and transposing up a step and assigning some low viola notes to the bass flute solves most range problems. Similarly, low violin notes are assigned to alto flute. For those wishing to consult the original string quintet for comparison, multiple editions of it are available online at imslp.org. For additional information about this new flute edition, available exclusively from Noteworthy Sheet Music, please visit the NSM listing page at https://noteworthysheetmusic.com/score-descriptions/84-multiple-flutes/1044-mozart-quintet-k-516-arr-flute-quintet
