Andante in C major K. 315

This much-beloved flute piece is probably an alternative slow movement for Mozart’s Flute Concerto in G major, and in its version with piano accompaniment it is indispensable to today’s flute teaching and to home music-making.

This is undoubtedly due to the broad, sweeping cantilenas of the flute part, which, moreover, can easily be mastered by students, note the piece’s low level of difficulty (3).
