The little D-major Violin Concerto has no need to hide behind its big sister, K. 218. Not only does it challenge the playerÆs technique, itÆs a masterpiece of the first order. HenleÆs edition stands out for the textual fidelity of its solo part and its easy-to-play but sonorous piano reduction. When Henle publishes MozartÆs First Concerto (K. 207) next autumn, its catalogue will cover all five of the violin concertos and all three of the single movements.
