Mozart W.a. - Wunderkind-sonatas Vol. I K. 6-9 - Piano

Wunderkind Sonatas Volume III for Piano and Violin K. 26-31 Editor: Wolf-Dieter Seiffert Fingering and bowing for Violin: Benjamin Schmid Fingering Piano: Ariane Haering In autumn 1765 Mozart's family was in Holland, not least at the request of Princess Caroline von Nassau-Weilburg. The fame of the prodigy Wolfgang Amadeus had already reached her so that she had an extraordinary desire to see this child (according to Leopold Mozart). The Sonatas for Piano K. 26-31 that can also have a violin accompaniment were composed in The Hague. They were published in 1766 and were naturally dedicated to the princess. An early copy which has nothing to do with Mozart was consulted by the New Mozart Edition as a primary source alongside the first edition. Our Urtext edition revises the musical text, deleting the misleading additions from this source.

Wunderkind Sonatas Volume I for Piano and Violin K. 6-9 Editor: Wolf-Dieter Seiffert Fingering and bowing for Violin: Benjamin Schmid Fingering Piano: Ariane Haering At the time, Mozart's genius - recognised at an early age - could only be explained as being God-given. Wolfgang Amadeus and his sister Maria Anna, older by five years, were admired as being Wunderkinder (prodigies) on their travels through Western Europe between 1763 and 1766. The piano sonatas with a violin accompaniment K. 6-9 were composed in Paris. It is wonderfully fresh and varied music. The piano is joined by a violin that adds colour, but not as an equal partner unlike in the later, great violin sonatas (see HN 77-80). This music is not only ideally suitable for piano and violin teaching purposes but will also allow musicians who already know everything to discover some treasures.

Wunderkind-Sonatas Volume III K. 26-31 Editor: Wolf-Dieter Seiffert Fingering: Ariane Haering The Six Sonatas for Piano K. 26-31 that can also have a violin accompaniment were composed in The Hague. They were published in 1766 and were dedicated to Princess Caroline von Nassau-Weilburg.
