Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Concerto in C major, K. 314 was originally composed in the Spring or Summer of 1777 for oboist Giuseppe Ferlendis (1755-1802) from Bergamo, then reworked by the composer as a concerto for flute in D major in 1778. The concerto is a widely-studied piece for both instruments, and is one of the more important concerti for the oboe. As with his Flute Concerto No. 1, the piece is arranged for a standard set of orchestral strings, two oboes, and two horns. 
While the original version for oboe had been lost before Alfred Einstein wrote his seminal work, Mozart: His Character, His Work, the oboe origin of the flute concerto was suspected, in part because of references in letters to a now-missing oboe concerto, as Einstein wrote, and of similar details in the orchestral string lines which suggested a transposition was used. Also, Einstein noted the two scores in D Major and C Major of the K. 314 Concerto in the Library of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna, which led to the belief that the oboe concerto was the origin of the flute concerto. The orchestra parts of the composition and solo oboe part in C were rediscovered by Bernhard Paumgartner in Salzburg, in 1920.

The New Mozart Edition offers researchers a musicologically unimpeachable text based on all the available sources (first and foremost Mozart's autograph manuscripts). At the same time, it also serves as an aid to authentic performances. The Barenreiter Urtext study scores are a prime example of how Barenreiter takes a musical text and transfers it into a practical format. The format, 16.5 x 22.5cm, is ideal for musical analysis, rehearsal purposes and even conducting. The Study Scores are distinguished by high quality paper and binding as well as an excellent layout.
