Sarah! is there a list fo your recorded concerts as a soloist?

[@DWClassicalMusic]

Hi there! Your question is better directed to one of Sarah's own social media profiles. This is the RUclips account for DW Classical Music, and Sarah Willis is one of the fantastic artists we feature.

Is the first 14-second of horn a theme music written for this DW series? Or is it an actual piece? It sounds Mozart-inspired to me

[@DWClassicalMusic]

You are quite right. It is Mozart!
It's the
Trio for Piano, Violin, and Horn in E-flat major K. 386c: III. Rondo. Allegro
The nice horn melody is in the very last part of the piece.

@@DWClassicalMusic Thanks. It's good to know my ears didn't fail me =)) However I thought K.386c was a quintet without piano. I didn't hear the opening horn melody.
