"A scholarly work that presents a complete history of K. 361, including valuable information for performers who desire to adhere to classical performance tradi-tions."

      - Bernard Garfield, principal bassoon (1957-2000), Philadelphia Orchestra

"Dan Leeson has provided a valuable handbook of information about the great Mozart Gran Partita. Every conductor should own this book."

      - Dr. David Whit-well, Conductor Emeritus, California State University, Northridge

" In 1980 I had the privilege of playing bassethorn with Leeson for the first re-cording of his scholarly edition of K.361. His knowledge of the work, the per-formance practices, and of Mozart and his music was inspirational to all of us on the recording. In this remarkable book he shares his vast knowledge of one of the great masterworks of all time."
