As the Köchel numbers imply, all the concertos were written within a relatively short time span—1775. In a letter to his father dated Oct. 1777 he gives a brief account of a performance in which he himself played the solo: "In the evening at supper I played my Strasbourg Concerto [K.218], which went like oil. Everyone praised my beautiful pure tone". In the score the soloist doubles the first violin part and plays the melodic solo while the other string parts become an accompaniment. This complete facsimile edition of all the violin concertos is a perfect gift for any Mozart lover. Limited edition of 1000 copies. Handsome binding in dark blue linen with Mozart's signature embossed in gold. SOLD OUT. Click this link for a new facsimile edition
