The conductor, composer and keyboard player Eberhard Müller (1767–1817) was also principal flautist of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra. A confirmed Mozartian, he followed the classical pattern in his concertos for flute and orchestra, and the present work, published here for the first time since 1801, is an attractive, virtuoso piece that will surely win new converts to this versatile yet greatly underrated musician.

Edition HH strikes gold once more with the beautifully clear publication of the flute concerto in E minor by August Eberhard Müller (1767-1817), edited by Christopher Hogwood and Nikolai Jaeger.
