Horn Concerto No. 3 in E flat major, K 447

Available for over a year

Mozart wrote four concertos for his horn-playing friend Joseph Leutgeb. Leutgeb was past his best but Mozart made up for his friend's limitations by composing a work that is gently playful. The lullaby-like slow section is the composition's highpoint.
