Title NameAdagio for Violin and Piano in E Major, K. 261
Marketing CopyThis wonderful, lyrical Adagio was composed for Antonio Brunetti. As Mozart resigned his position as Music Director and Concertmaster of the Salzburg Court Orchestra, Brunetti took Mozart’s place in 1777. Brunetti performed Mozart violin concerti in Salzburg with great success, however the slow movement of Violin Concerto No. 5, K. 219 did not please him, as he found it academic and dull. He refused to play the concerto unless the composer replaced it with a movement that Brunetti found satisfactory. The Adagio in E Major, K. 261 is this replacement movement. Brunetti’s criticism notwithstanding, the original slow movement is a masterpiece that has retained its place in the concerto. While many editions exist of this masterpiece, this is the first practical performance edition with meticulously added bowings and fingerings by Jascha Heifetz’ star pupil, Endre Granat.
