Note: The twelve duets of KV 487 were originally written for horns (or basset horns, depending on whom you ask), but they sound wonderful on strings. These setting for two cellos are transposed to string-friendly keys. They can be used as incidental music for gigs or organized into sets, following the form of Mozart’s late divertimenti (allegro; minuet; slow movement; minuet; allegro), for concert use. These are must-have pieces for all musicians.
