Hofmann, Leopold (1738-1793)

Leopold Hofmann’s twelve extant flute concertos represents the most important group of works of this kind composed in Vienna during the mid-18th century. Flautist Uwe Grodd’s cadenzas to four newly-published editions of Concertos A1, G1, G4 and D2, present the performer with brief, pseudo-improvisatory pieces that are stylistically well-matched to their contexts and invite further elaboration if desired.
