Presentation Abstract
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote many works, but only a few for the flute, including an unfinished concerto containing only the second movement (Andante in C for Flute, K315). This project is the continuation of the composition of a third movement, situated in the theoretical analysis of Mozart's concerti for piano, wind instruments, and violin. The length and number of phrases within the refrain will be studied as well as the transition from the tonic to the dominant. This research will allow for the heightened understanding of the formal and stylistic approaches to the third movements of his concerti and thus provide the means to a refrain for the third movement to Mozart's Andante in C as well as provide a new interpretation of Mozart's concerti. A presentation of this research will include a short discussion followed by a performance of the newly composed refrain to the third movement.
