Mozart: Works for Piano Four-Hands

Description

Mozart's works for piano duet are outstanding and are the first highlight of this genre later only to be achieved by Franz Schubert. The two early sonatas from the Salzburg period are particularly suited for music teaching in secondary schools. This volume also contains Sonata KV 19d the authenticity of which is not confirmed, as well as two fragmentary movements dated from the last years of Mozart´s life, KV 357. Robert D. Levin has completed them true to style for practical use, taking the limitations of the keyboards of the Mozart pianos and the composer's personal style into account, unlike the first edition of ca. 1860. in the appendix, there are the two Fantasias KV 594 and 608 originally composed for mechanical organ, adapted from the earliest arrangements for piano duet published a few years after Mozart's death.
