Mozart: Piano Sonatas Nos. 11-18, K. 331-547a - Volume 2

Description

This edition of Mozart's piano sonatas has been prepared for practical use. The editor Robert Teichmüller (1863–1939) was a student of Carl Reinecke and worked as a pianist and professor for piano at the Leipzig Academy of Music "Felix" (at that time Royal Conservatory and from 1924 State Conservatory of Music in Leipzig). Among his students were great names such as Günther Ramin, Sigfrid Karg-Elert and Rudolf Mauersberger. The publication of his instructive editions on Mozart's and Reger's piano works testifies to his esteem in musical life at the beginning of the 20th century.

With this printing of Mozart's piano sonatas, Breitkopf & Härtel offers an insight into the performance practice of around 1900. Since Teichmüller took the musical text of the Urtext edition (Breitkopf & Härtel) and the then current Mozart Complete Edition as a basis marking all his additions, this edition is interesting for pianists not only for educational and interpretative, but also for historical reasons. in addition to fingerings and additional articulations, the musical text also contains examples of the execution of the numerous ornaments.
