Dittersdorf, Carl Ditters von - Concerto in C major

Dittersdorf, Carl Ditters von
Concerto C major

for
Oboe, 2 horns,
2 violins, viola and bass

Edition notes:

Movement 1 has a written-out cadenza for the solo oboe after 11 measures of the 1st solo and one, as usual, at the end of the movement; movement 2 has another also at the end of the movement.

Apart from 2 wrong notes, the score is error-free. The 2nd page of the Largo in the solo oboe is somewhat confused, due to corrections or deletions. The 2nd half of bar 18 and bar 19 are at the beginning of the 3rd system, the following bars are in the 1st and 2nd system. After measure 26, the musical text jumps into the 5th system after the deletion of the originally intended measures 20-26. These are corrected, as mentioned, in the 1st and 2nd system. The cadenza is after the two tutti final bars. The interpretation of the now and then notated serpentine lines over notes with staccato dots is not quite easy. They may stimulate the interpretation fantasies of the soloists.  Special expressivity or tempo modifications would be possible.

Changed or added dynamics are in parentheses. Some of these dynamic indications in parentheses are from the editor. Changes in accidentals are also in parentheses. Adjusted slurs are indicated in dashed lines.
