These Six Viennese Sonatinas were not originally composed by Mozart for the piano. They are a contemporary arrangement of the Wind Divertimentos K 439b which Mozart wrote in 1783. The Divertimentos are notable for their conciseness of form and their melodic richness. They therefore make an excellent introduction to Mozart's piano music even though they are not completely typical of Mozart's piano writing. We do not know for certain who made the arrangement but Alexander Weinmann has shown that it was probably Ferdinand Kauer. The order of movements is not the same as in the original; moreover some of the Trios have been exchanged and recapitulations have been shortenedin some instances. The original voice leading has been replaced by voice leading suitable to the piano. The 2oth_century editions by Rehberg (Schott) Rowley (Peters) and the old edition by Kapral (originally published by Universal Edition) are based on a Ricordi reprint edited by Muggelini in 1907; its musical text is unreliable and there are many arbitrary alterations. The present edition is therefore based on the first edition of the arrangement published by Artaria of Vienna in 1803. By comparing it with the score of the Divertimentos (Mozart Complete Edition Series XXIV No. 62 1905) and with the first edition of the parts it was possible to establish the precise articulation and dynamic markings and to add them where needed. For piano pupils simpler versions are suggested in footnotes as are possible executions of ornaments. Metronome markings have been provided by the editor; like the footnotes they should be taken only as suggestions.

Piano Variations-Outre ses 18 sonates pour piano Mozart a laissé un nombre de cycles de variations quasiment aussi important soit 15. À cette époque les variations sur des thèmes populaires ou personnels constituaient en quelque sorte des articles de mode. Mozart apporta lui aussi sa contribution à ce genre les considérations financières n?y étant sans doute pas étrangères ? en effet ce genre d?articles se vendait facilement. Ainsi contrairement à ses sonates pour piano les variations de Mozart ont-elles toutes été éditées de son vivant. Le fait qu?elles aient été des articles de mode n?enlève toutefois rien à leur qualité en particu-lier dans le cas de Mozart. Pleines de richessed?invention de plaisir du jeu et d?élégance elles ne doivent pas être sous-estimées. Il suffit de se laisser aller au plaisir que procurent ces ?uvres merveilleuses. Cette édition de travail offre le texte complet et non modifié de l?édition pratique «bleue» Henle Urtext HN 116.

Vol 1 Ut 50226 + Vol 2 Ut 50227-For more than 200 years Mozart’s piano sonatas have been part of every pianist’s repertoire. Research done over the last few decades has made it possible however to establish more accurate dating and ordering of these works. Expert examination of original documents has shown that many printed editions from the eighteenth Century give more reliable detail than Mozart’s own written scores; many of these works were prepared for publication by the composer himself and marked with precise indications for performance with regard to ornamentation dynamics and articulation. All this together with the rediscovery of documents that only becameaccessible again at the end of the 20th Century gives reason enough to justify the publication of a new Wiener Urtext edition of Mozart’s Piano Sonatas.To follow the second volume published in the spring of 2003 with Sonatas K 330 to K 576 we now present the first volume which contains the Sonatas K 279 to K 311. For Sonata K 284 variation XI in the final movement is given both in the version that appears in the original manuscript and in the version used in the first edition; in order to make the music easier to read both versions are given in normal print size. Music that is clear and well laid out with page turns in convenient places makes this edition extremely user-friendly.Advice on performance by the renowned Mozart specialist Robert D. Levin provides fresh stimulus for what can otherwise too often become a rather tired interpretation.

Mozart's Sonata In C K.309 is a delightful work for Solo Piano which will provide an enjoyable challenge for the advancing pianist and has been edited here by Stanley Sadie and Denis Matthews.

It is unknown precisely when and where Mozart wrote this delightful Piano sonata but Vienna or Salzburg around 1783 is likely which is around the time of the production of Idomeneo. Mozart composed the sonata in three-movementstructure. The first andante grazioso is a theme with six variations; the second includes a minuet and trio; the third is the famous rondo alla turca and allegretto which is frequently performed as a separate piece. TheTurkish style was fashionable in Vienna at that time in imitation of Turkish janissary bands. Mozart used it again in his opera Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail.

Performed by Iliana Todorova piano Accompaniment: Plovdiv Chamber Orchestra Conductor: Nayden Todorov This cheerful concerto is a perfect example of the maturing Mozart coming into his own. Not as lengthy as some of the concerti but still a substantial piece it is an excellent concerto for the less advanced pianist who still wants a workout at the keys.

A truly enjoyable experience! Includes an authoritative newly engraved music score printed on high-quality ivory paper; adigital stereo compact disc featuring a complete performance of the concerto with orchestra and soloist and a second performance minus you the soloist; plus a special -20% slow-tempo version of the accompaniment for practice purposes.

This new edition indicates that Mozart’s popular composition is a mature work dating from his time in Vienna contrary to previous assumptions and that the traditional ending does not correspond to the original version. The well-known closing bars which have of course been included in this edition were not in fact written by Mozart himself but probably by August Eberhard Müller who thereby shaped the piece to stand on its own. Mozart’s manuscript version however as documented in the first edition ends ten bars earlier on a dominant seventh chord leaving the way open for further development and making it conceivable thatthe Fantasie was originally written as an introduction to a sonata in D major (to another of the late sonatas K 576 in fact). With this information the edition adds a totally new dimension to the performance of this widely known piece.
