Mozart wrote Harmoniemusik – wind ensemble music – throughout his career, but the two greatest works for wind octet are the serenades K375 in E flat and K388 in C minor, scored for pairs of oboes, clarinets, horns and bassoons with string bass. These wonderful works, which fully transcend the lightmusic serenade genre, were written in 1781 and 1782 soon after Mozart moved to Vienna from Salzburg.
They form the basis of our latest educational initiative, in which four leading players of Classical wind instruments mentor four conservatoire students who are studying these instruments and the specialised techniques required to play them.
