The concerto for bassoon and orchestra in B major, kv 191 is the first for a wind instrument and was written in 1774.We don't know for whom this work was written nor who was its original performer.
It was in 1779, soon after his return to Salzburg from Paris, Mozart composed his masterwork "Symphonie Concertante" for violin and alto. The composer himself was both a violonist and alto player.
