Concert Music – Transcriptions from Orchestra
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791). While some band music publishers and band directors seem reluctant to "tamper" with Mozart by transcribing his music for band, most have come to realize that the Wunderkind from Salzburg is unsurpassed in the utilization of wind instruments in his music. During his short life Mozart wrote many works for groups of 3 to 13 wind instruments, as well as concertos for solo wind instruments. Below is a selected list of transcriptions for concert band (and one ensemble) from publishers in Germany of some of Mozart's works.



MINUET from Symphony No. 39 in Eb K.V. 543 - W. A. Mozart / Loritz - Gr4 - $46
