Ludwig Wenzel Lachnith; Three Piano Concertos, Op.10 (c.1785)

Ludwig Wenzel Lachnith (1746-1820) was a Czech/French composer. He is perhaps most famous (or possibly infamous) for his reworking of Mozart's "The Magic Flute" into his own opera "Les Mystères d'Isis", which while critically panned even at the time proved popular with Parisians of the day and was in fact the only version of "The Magic Flute" performed in public until 1865 when Mozart's original resurfaced.

Lachnith wrote a total of six keyboard concertos. I previously did his first set of 3, Op.9:    • Ludwig Wenzel Lachnith; Three Piano Concer...   . I didn't do this set because the parts on IMSLP were incomplete - the piano part is entirely missing, and the 2nd horn is missing half of the pages. My colleague, Tsou Yan Jiet, was able to procure the complete parts, and also transcribed half of the first movement of Concerto #4 before losing interest and handing it off to me. I completed the 4th concerto several months ago but wasn't in any particular rush to complete the set. But they're all done now. Lachnith also did 2 arrangements of Viotti's violin concertos for the piano, the first of which I have also featured on the channel:    • Giovanni Battista Viotti; Piano Concerto i...   . This earns him the dubious distinction of "most concertos featured on this channel", by number anyhow. His 6 original concertos are all quite short, hence why I combined them into just 2 videos, and the 7th is only an arrangement of someone else's work (and the best of the lot in my opinion, we can thank Viotti for that).

As with the first set, the instrumentation calls for keyboard, strings, 2 horns, and either 2 flutes or 2 oboes. I've instead interpreted this last to be one of each, with the flute playing the first part and the oboe the second.

Disclaimer: Yes, it's synthesized. Obviously real musicians with real instruments would be vastly superior, but this simulated performance is better than nothing at all, which is what existed previously. My greatest wish is that these videos will inspire someone with the means to arrange a real performance and hopefully record and publish it so we can hear them in their full glory. If that someone is you, or you know of an existing recording of this, please let me know and I may add a link to this description.
