Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Violin Concerto No.1 in B-flat major K.207: Orchestre et Solo

Mozart composed the majority of his works for solo string instruments and orchestra during the years 1773 to 1779. Especially important in this context are the years 1773 and 1775, which witnessed the creation of thefive concertos for Violin and orchestra as well as several single movements for the same scoring.

The reasons for this flourish of activity in this domain lie partly in the fact that Mozart, who still occupied thepost of concertmaster to the Prince-Archbishop, was either obliged or inspired to provide such works for special occasions during this long period spent in Salzburg. But another reason was certainly the possibility ofexperimentingwith all the new compositional techniques acquired during his third trip to Italy and his stay of several months in Vienna from July to September 1773.
