"" It was at Leeson's suggestion, that I included, for the first time, in the 1978 season of the San Francisco Midsummer Mozart Festival, several performances of the great wind Serenade of Mozart at each of the various venues, and in which Leeson took part as a performer. Together, he and I have performed that glorious work in at least four festival seasons for some 18-20 times over the past quarter century." . . . George Cleve Conductor and Music Director San Francisco Midsum-mer Mozart Festival
"" Este livro de Daniel Leeson torna-se leitura indispensável para qualquer um que pretenda executar ou pesquisar sobre a gran Partitta, estabelecendo-se, daqui para frente, com fonte indispensável em pesquisas sobre a obra de W.A. Mozart." . . . Dr. Fernando José Silveira Professor Adjunto de Clarineta e Música de Câmara Instituto Villa-Lobos - UNIRIO / Brasil.
"" Daniel Leeson's book, gran Partitta, gives chapter and verse evidence that the au-thor deeply loves Mozart's masterwork, the Serenade in B-flat for 12 winds and double bass. The book summarizes a lifetime of research, thinking, performing and writing about the work by illuminating every aspect of its unusual history." . . . Christopher Weait Bassoonist, Author, Publisher, Emeritus professor of bassoon The Ohio State University
"At Kammermusik we have experienced a master class workshop on the gran Par-titta led by Dan Leeson, and have discovered how his deep knowledge and in-sights truly enhance its performance and understanding. This invaluable book brings together his scholarship and experience of the work extending over fifty years. It will be a treasured reference for the scholar and the constant companion of anyone preparing for the performance of K. 361, whether at professional or amateur level." . . . Keith Bowen Director Kammermusik, Santa Fe, NM.
