Die unter dem Sammeltitel ,,Romantische Sonaten von Mozart bekannten 6 Sonaten fur Violine und Klavier gehoren zu den Werken, fur die die Autorschaft Mozarts nicht vollig beglaubigt ist. Die Autographe fehlen, und zudem ist die Herkunft der Vorlagen zum ersten Druck bei Breitkopf & Hartel sehr verdachtig: Konstanze bietet sie Anfang 1799 dem Verlag an, dieser aussert sich jedoch sofort enttauscht und erbittet das ,,Original-Manuscript, um alle Zweifel an der Echtheit der Sonaten zu zerstreuen. Dieses ist jedoch nicht aufzufinden, und in der Folge verdichten sich auch Konstanzes Zweifel an der Echtheit der Sonaten, - vielleicht hatte sie inzwischen sogar den Komponistennamen erfahren oder gefunden? Jedenfalls schreibt sie am 16.11.1800 an andre: ,,... Breitkopf & Hartel habe ich indessen uberlassen, sie nochmals zu beurtheilen und nach ihren Criterien zu schazen. Ich habe mich ganz von aller Burgschaft, dass sie von Mozart sind, losgesagt - das ist die Hauptsache, um die es mir zu thun ist.

This volume comprises of Lilburn's four piano sonatas. The sonata in F sharp minor is a work of pure Romantic sensibility, while the sonata for piano in A minor reveals Lilburn's very sharply realised visual sense. There is a bracing, lyrical power to his 1949 sonata, the curve and grain of the music partaking of an impressive physical space. The second sonata, from 1956, provides an outstanding example of Lilburn's orchestration of piano colour and his sensitive balancing of tonal relationships.

Lubos Fiser (1935-1999) was one of the most talented Czech composers of his generation. Born in Prague, he studied at the Prague Conservatoire from 1952-1956 and then at the Academy of Music. He was known to the public for his many film scores but it was his other compositions, many of them written under difficult political conditions, which mark him out as a composer of significance.Fiser's eight piano sonatas have a special place in his oeuvre. Fiser subsequently eliminated his second sonata (1956) from his compositional repertoire. From the third sonata onwards (1960), subtitled Fantasia, the composer wrote a two-movement composition, in which he continued to incorporate as his fundamental musical device the confrontation of sharp contrasts in tempo and mood. Beginning with his fourth sonata (1962-1964), Fiser created a single-movement work in an expressive, formally focused composition which betrays a progression towards greater compactness of musical shape in a concise yet effective musical testimony. The fifth sonata was written in 1974, the sixth sonata in 1978. The seventh sonata from 1985 was dedicated to Frantisek Maxian, the eighth sonata was written in 1995.Piano Sonata No.1 was written in 1955. Fiser worked on it during his last year at the Prague Conservatoire under the supervision of Emil Hlobil. The piece is one of Fiser's early works which still respect a traditional compositional approach. Unlike his major and late piano sonatas, this sonata has three movements, each representing the traditional Classical-Romantic form. The sonata was premiered by Fiser's fellow-student and friend Antonin Jemelik in Theatre D34 on 30 January 1956.The new setting for this piece is based on the single edition to date (SNKLHU, 1957); only with regard to a few inconsistencies in the score was it necessary to consult the composer's manuscript (kept at the National Museum - Czech Museum of Music, acquisition number 297/2006).
