IMSLP Forums

Ignaz Lachner (1807-1895) arranged 12 of Mozart's Piano Concertos for piano and string quartet. Lachner reliased that it is logistically much easier for pianists to perform these beautiful pieces if they only have to find four string players, as opposed to a whole orchestra!

It is wonderful that three (K271, K453 and K459) are available on IMSLP, scanned in by chamberpianist. Please could we have some more?

The K271, K453 and K459 parts scanned in by chamberpianist are edited by Sigmund Lebert and published in 1901 by Edition Cotta. I believe there is a complete library copy of string parts in Sydney, Australia.

Myself and many many other pianists would be fantastically grateful if someone could scan them in. (The A major concerto, K488, is a particular favourite of mine!)

I've just discovered a load of Lachner string parts for Mozart Piano Concertos on the Sibley Library website:
https://urresearch.rochester.edu/instit ... temId=5010

Frustratingly it is only K171, K238, K246, K271, K413, K414, K415, K449, K451, K453, K456 and K459. The later concertos that I'm more interested in are not there.

Can anyone help me find string parts for K467, K488 and some of the more well-known later concerti?

You can find Konzert KV 488 here:

Thank you so much jobdf! I have been looking for these parts for years.

Does anyone know if scores of these Mozart/Lachner concerto arrangements exist? Or perhaps someone has created scores out of the parts? They would be super helpful to have!
