A sprightly Allegro movement from Mozart's Divertimento No. 4 for three basset horns has enjoyed several trio arrangements, primarily in the woodwind repertoire. Freshner brings a lifetime as educator, arranger, even music engraving, to produce a solid brass trio arrangement of the Allegro. The result is quintessential Mozart and suitable for high school programs and festivals.
