Fragments K. 442-Mozart often began work on a composition only to put it aside unfinished. Some of these fragments contain wonderful music as is proved by these three Piano trio fragments. Mozart composed them at different times as individual movements though the posthumous first edition brought them together as a supposedly new and unknown Piano trio by the composer and on this basis they were given the number '442' in Köchel's catalogue. The first edition used completions by Mozart's friend Abbé Maximilian Stadler that were stylistically correct but possessed little originality. This Henle Urtext edition offers both these versions andnewly-composed highly rewarding completions by Robert D. Levin.

Moza rt did not compose any larger original works for organ, but he did write three remarkable pieces for musical clock, a mechanical musical instrument with organ pipes which was extremely popular in his day. These unusual works in this genre are the Fantasias K. 594 and K. 608. With these important compositions we are dealing with true masterpieces of a solemn character and densely-worked musical structure - just as if Mozart had a real organ in mind from the very beginning. A completely different, cheerful-playful charm radiates from the third of these compositions, the Andante K. 616. The three pieces are arranged for organ in this edition, retaining the original musical text as far as possible, and including suggestions for registration and division between the manuals.
