Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed the 'Sextet for 2 clarinets, 2 horns & 2 bassoons in B flat major, K. Anh. C. 17.09' in 1789. The piece was not published during Mozart's lifetime and was only discovered in the 20th century. The premiere of the piece is unknown. The 'Sextet for 2 clarinets, 2 horns & 2 bassoons in B flat major, K. Anh. C. 17.09' consists of three movements. The first movement is marked Allegro and is in sonata form. The second movement is marked Adagio and is a slow, lyrical piece. The final movement is marked Rondo and is a lively, dance-like piece. The piece is characterized by its use of wind instruments and its light, playful melodies. The clarinets and bassoons are featured prominently throughout the piece, with the horns providing a rich, warm sound. The piece is also notable for its use of counterpoint, with the different instruments weaving in and out of each other's melodies. Overall, the 'Sextet for 2 clarinets, 2 horns & 2 bassoons in B flat major, K. Anh. C. 17.09' is a charming and delightful piece of chamber music that showcases Mozart's skill as a composer. Despite being relatively unknown, it is a valuable addition to the repertoire of wind chamber music.
