The viola part for Mozart's Symphony No. 35 in D major, K. 385 (nicknamed the Haffner Symphony) has been edited by Israeli-born Yizhak Schotten, an internationally acclaimed musician whom STRAD Magazine has called "one of America's finest viola players... a leading light of the U.S. viola establishment." Schotten's bowings, fingerings and other editorial markings have been added throughout the score.
Mozart's Symphony No. 35 is known as the Haffner Symphony because it was commissioned by the prominent Salzburg Haffners for Sigmund Haffner's ennoblement. Originally taking the form of a serenade, the composition for the ennoblement would eventually evolve into the Haffner Symphony, which received its first performance in 1783 at the Vienna Burgtheater.
