These duets were originally written in 1786 for two basset horns. From graceful minuets to an intensely personal Adagio, from a stately Andante to agile allegros, much of the art of Mozart is on show here in these accessible and delightfully paced duets.

I have compressed the range slightly where necessary, reallocated keys to achieve the right balance between playability and fidelity to the original, and added appropriate, but by no means final, articulations and dynamics
