Comments on Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante, K. 364 (Note: Scroll down on the page to the Mozart section. I wrote this [under my Muggle name, of course] for the now-defunct Classical Hub website several years ago. Thankfully, the Heights Chamber Orchestra from somewhere near Cleveland borrowed my comments for their program notes and posted it on their website. It appears to be only a part of what I actually wrote, but with Classical Hub long since out of business, I don't appear to have any other source for the original.)
