Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) was disdainful of the flute, and instrument of which he wrote at the time he "cannot bear," and he was indifferent to the harp. Despite this, during his seven-month sojourn in Paris, he was commissioned by the Duke of Guînes and flutist, Adrien-Louis de Bonnières to compose the double concerto for himself and his harp-playing daughter Marie-Louise-Philippine, to whom Mozart had been giving composition lessons. While he found each of their playing to be very good, and he likely wrote the piece with the father's and daughter's abilities in mind, he came to despise the duke as he refused to pay Mozart the commission fee and only half of what he was owed for his daughter's composition lessons. The utterly charming work, one of only two true double concertos that Mozart wrote, is among the most popular such concertos in the repertoire, and it is the only time Mozart employed the harp in his music. The work is often performed by chamber ensembles, for which its small forces make it very suitable) or orchestras seeking to display their own flutists and harpists.
