Sonatas, Vol. 2 (Aurnhammer, or Early Viennese) for violin and piano by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Urtext edition by Wolf-Dieter Seiffert, with markings by Karl Rohrig. Published by Henle
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) was one of the most prominent composers of the Classical period and is often considered one of the greatest composers of Western art music. A noted child prodigy, he excelled in all genres. His music is revered for its beauty, clarity, balance, and transparency, underpinned by sophisticated craftsmanship.
Mozart left a veritable wealth of music for violinists across his 36 sonatas for violin and piano. These range from early juvenilia-simple yet prodigious-to mature masterpieces. This Henle urtext edition-volume two of three of the mature sonatas-contains his ''Aurnhammer'' (or Early Viennese) sonatas, written for his piano student Johanna Aurnhammer and his first major compositional output in Vienna. Includes critical and historical commentary. Intermediate-advanced level, Grade 4.
