Back in 1999, I wrote:
I'm also attracted to the idea of a cello concerto by Mozart.
I'm not sure whether I'd like the slow movement to be like
the ethereal one from the 3rd violin concerto, or the darkness
of the one from the Sinfonia Concertante for violin and
viola, or even the autumnal quality of the one from the
Clarinet Concerto. I can almost hear the cello playing the
clarinet part. I have a distant memory of seeing a listing
in an ancient Schwann for a cello concerto someone cobbled
together - does anyone know of it?
Joel Lazar replied:
From the dusty recesses of my memory, I recall that Janos
Starker, in the early days of LP, recorded a cello concerto
transcribed (probably) by Gaspar Cassado from Mozart's Horn
Concerto No. 3, K. 447.
There is, of course, a 'cello part in the incomplete Mozart
Sinfonia Concertante in A (along with violin and viola parts.
This has been completed several times starting in the late
19th century, but I don't recall the details.
