12 Petites Pièces Includes two ‚mystery‘ pieces – the last discovery this Mozart year! In the short period between Mozart’s death and the end of the 18th century, it was quickly discovered that he had not left enough short and technically undemanding keyboard works to satisfy the growing amateur market for his music. Many publishers […]

→ Grand Quintetto K 361 (Gemischtes Ensemble)
Grand Quintetto K 361 From the start, the size and nature of the scoring of Mozart’s Serenade for 12 Winds and Contrabass K. 361 (conventionally called either Serenade for 13 Winds or Gran Partita) and the unusual length of the work precluded frequent performance, and the piece (or selections from it) appeared in many alternative […]
→ Sonate in c-moll op. 1 (Klavier)
Sonate in c-moll op. 1 Anton Eberl, nine years younger than Mozart, also began life as a prodigy, and became a friend of Mozart and probably also a pupil; his compositions show such an acquaintance with Mozart’s style that misattributions were inevitable. This dramatic sonata was first published by Artaria as Mozart’s Op. 31 in […]
→ Toccata in C minor op. 46 (Keyboard)
Toccata in C minor op. 46 Despite Eberl’s exploitation of new pianistic techniques, the Toccata (subtitled in one edition Toccata fugata‘) is a conscious nod to the past, and to Mozart’s late interest in fugal writing, encouraged by Baron van Swieten; possibly the several fugal collections published by Reicha in Paris and Vienna also acted […]
→ Sinfonie Nr. 40 (Gemischtes Ensemble)
Sinfonie Nr. 40 Muzio Clementi, who was rather more magnanimous in his praise of Mozart than Mozart was of him – ‚Until then I had never heard anyone perform with such grace and elegance‘ – towards the end of his life made a series of adaptations of the six late symphonies ’newly adapted for the […]
→ 8 Variationen (Klavier)
8 Variationen One of Mozart’s most memorable melodies, brilliantly varied by the Czech composer Josef Gelinek, whom Mozart himself recommended as a keyboard player and composer. Noten für: Klavier Notenverlag: Edition HH Limited MDS-HH172 Noten Informationen und Preis: 8 Variationen
→ 10 Variations on Zu Steffen sprach in Traume (Klavier)
10 Variations on Zu Steffen sprach in Traume These effective and memorable variations were published more than 14 times as the work of Mozart, and never once under their true name. Mozart himself is said to have used them as favourite teaching material for his students, and in this year of Mozart celebration they deserve […]
→ Sonata in B flat Major (Klavier)
Sonata in B flat Major The Anhang of Köchel’s catalogue is full of pieces that for more than a century after his death were thought to be his work; the Müller sonata, a very effective piece on both fortepiano and clavichord, is still suspected of containing some elements of original Mozart in it, and deserves […]
→ Variations (Tuba)
Variations Limited to a few pitches these variations represent a tour-de-force for the modern tuba player. A group of five notes is repeated and accented in different ways. Gradually single notes within the group are transposed and the odd sung note is introduced. The tempo increases throughout this exhilirating work. Noten für: Tuba Notenverlag: Edition […]
→ Concerto in G major D.82 (Violine)
Concerto in G major D.82 Over the beautiful second movement Tartini wrote ‚I know you have no mercy‘ using his secret code. With the outer movements this concerto is a first class representative of the 18th century concerto. Carefully edited from Tartini’s autograph and checked against the only other known source. Noten für: Violine Notenverlag: […]

→ Sonatina (Mediterranean) (Klavier)
Sonatina (Mediterranean) This wonderfully pianistic Sonatina in three movements is an important addition to 20th century piano repertoire. The character of the first movement is Mediterranean – graceful, playful and mostly relaxed. The second movement evokes Mediterranean landscapes and moods and the third is a tribute to the Mediterranean character in life, art and music […]
→ Fileno, caro amico (Gesang)
Fileno, caro amico This cantata, from an important manuscript in Berlin containing 18 Albinoni cantatas for soprano and continuo, belongs in spirit to the subgenre known as the lezione amorosa, or ‚lesson in love‘. The singer represents a lover who, in a homily addressed to his friend Fileno, reproaches his beloved for her doubts about […]
→ Di tante ree sciagure (Gesang)
Di tante ree sciagure This cantata, from an important manuscript in Berlin containing 18 Albinoni cantatas for soprano and continuo, is on the ever-popular subject of the separation of lovers. It records the departure of Irene from ‚Adria‘ the conventional Arcadian code-word for Venice and doubtless was written to commemorate a genuine parting of, say, […]
→ Quest'e l'ora fatale (Gesang)
Quest'e l'ora fatale This cantata, from an important manuscript in Berlin containing 18 Albinoni cantatas for soprano and continuo, is on the subject of the parting of lovers. Dalinda, forced to part from Tirsi, vows fidelity to him and asks for the same in return. With not only two da capo arias but also a […]
