Andante for Flute and Orchestra
- Andante for Flute and Orchestra
The Andante for Flute and Orchestra (K. 315) in C major was written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1778 and commissioned by Ferdinand De Jean as a possible replacement or alternative second movement for the Flute Concerto No. 1 (K. 313)'s Adagio ma non troppo.
Supposedly, the commissioner of the K. 313 concerto, De Jean, disliked the original Adagio and had Mozart compose the shorter Andante to replace it; however, it is also speculated the Andante may have been part of the third flute concerto Mozart was commissioned to write for De Jean but never completed.

The piece is written for the same orchestral arrangement as K. 313: a standard set of orchestral strings, two oboes, and two horns.
