Is there any difference at all between Mozart`s Oboe Concerto and his Flute Concerto No.2 besides the fact that one is in D and the other is in C? I`m a clarinetist without too much knowledge of flute or oboe repertoire and was just wondering.

yes aside from a few different notations,
for example there is this semiquaver repeat in the flute version,
and it was written (i believed arranged) to become the quavers as it is on the previous measure

he he he, i live in the united states. is the equivalent of a quaver a quarter note and semiquaver an eigth note?

well..........i supposed the whole world lives with the same idea right?
.....

Nope, I guess not, I have heard people from other countries (England in particular) use the term "semiquaver", but me being from the US have no clue what that means. Is it as the other person said a quaver is a quarter note, and a semi quaver an eighth note? Or what?

yupe you are right
a semibreve is a whole note
a minim a half note
a crotchet a quarter note
a quaver an eight note
a semi quaver a 16th note
a demi semi quaver a 32th note

and i heard that ya call 64th notes a "hemidemisemiquaver"?

not quite sure about that
haha......
why don`t we call them trills instead....

one of my oboe teachers told me that mozart wrote the oboe concerto first and then needed a flute piece in a short time so he just changed the key and a few things in it! hope it helps

Alomarvellous- yes, we call 64th notes hemidemisemiquavers. The alternate name for them is #%%&$&^&! impossibly fast notes.

Hey, there is a beautiful Mozart radio station:

Mozart`s flute concerto in D major is a reworked version of the oboe concerto in C major, in fact it`s survival is the only reason we have his oboe concerto, since his scores/manuscript of that did not survive.

Hey, so do any of you have the oboe piece (Oboe Concerto in C, K. 314)? Or do you know any way of getting it for free?? Thanks,
