Leopold Mozart: Sinfonia Burlesca - wind quintet

Original written for a string orchestra of 2 viola, 2 celli and bass/bassoon, I have arranged it for standard wind quintet and transposed it from G to Eb
 
I have written a natural horn part in Eb and Bb basso (Hn in F also provided)Leo

The “Sinfonia Burlesca” is a vehicle for the presentation of comedic characters. It demonstrates Leopold Mozart’s predilection for laconic musical genre-painting: he dedicates a minuet to “Hanswurst” (literally “John-Sausage”) familiar from traditional Salzburg street theatre; “Signor Pantalone”, the commedia dell’arte’s wealthy, aged and vainglorious womanizer gets his own conceited Andante. Harlequin, the mercurial and mischievous trickster in the chequered costume, gets the last word, mocking and bamboozling his upper-class audience.
