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.
