Flute Concerto No. 1 (Mozart)
- Flute Concerto No. 1 (Mozart)
The Concerto for Flute Concerto No. 1 in G Major (K. 313) was written in 1778 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Commissioned by the Dutch flautist Ferdinand De Jean in 1777, Mozart was supposed to provide four flute quartets and three flute concerti, yet he only completed two of the three concerti: K. 313 being the first.

All Music Guide.] The Andante for Flute and Orchestra K.315 may have been written as an alternative slow movement for this concerto.
The piece is scored for a standard set of orchestral strings, two oboes (which are replaced with two flutes in the Adagio movement), and two horns. [Huscher, Phillip. [http://www.carnegiehall.org/article/box_office/events/evt_5086_pn.html?selecteddate=11042005 Program Notes] . Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Carnegie Hall. ]
The piece itself is divided into three movements:
* I. Allegro maestoso
* II. Adagio ma non troppo
* III. Rondo: Tempo di Menuetto
The opening of the second movement is often known as resembling the famous theme from the Blue Danube Waltz by Johann Strauss, Jr., which was composed many years later.
