Mozart's
Concerto K. 453 enjoyed
great popularity during
the composer's lifetime
and was widely known
through copies and a
print. The state of the
sources is thus
multi-faceted yet
unequivocal: the primary
source is the
rediscovered autograph,
which was considered lost
after 1945 and was not at
the disposal of the Neue
Mozart-Ausgabe. The
editorial quality of the
new edition is guaranteed
not only by Schiffs
sensitive fingerings and
stylistically
well-grounded cadenzas,
but also by the Mozart
scholar Stephan Horner to
whom Henle has entrusted
its urtext editions.
Breitkopf/Henle
cooperation means: Each
work is edited according
to predetermined
standardized editorial
guidelines. First and
foremost among the
sources consulted were
Mozarts handwritten
scores, being the most
important sources. In
some cases they had not
been available when the
previous editions were
being prepared. Moreover,
we know today that in
addition to Mozarts own
manuscripts, early copies
in parts and prints also
contain important
information regarding the
musical text.
