Rondo in C Major K. 373

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Rondo in C major, K. 373 is a charming and virtuosic work composed in 1781 for violin and orchestra, though it is often performed today in a violin and piano arrangement. Written during Mozart’s time in Salzburg, the piece was likely intended for the court violinist Antonio Brunetti. The rondo form, with its recurring main theme, showcases Mozart's gift for elegant melodies and graceful phrasing. Lighthearted and spirited, the work allows the violinist to display both lyrical expressiveness and technical agility. Despite its brevity, the piece captures the warmth and brilliance typical of Mozart's mature style. This premier performance edition by Endre Granat, one of Jascha Heifetz' most accomplished students, contains practical fingerings and bowings informed by decades of masterful performance.
