The engaging yet simple Viennese sonatinas have been part of standard piano literature since soon after Mozart's death. This edition provides helpful practical direction for playing in the Classical style and an excellent recording by the editor. Intermediate Level.

These Six Viennese Sonatinas were not originally composed by Mozart for the piano. They are a contemporary arrangement of the Wind Divertimentos K 439b which Mozart wrote in 1783. The Divertimentos are notable for their conciseness of form and their melodic richness. They therefore make an excellent introduction to Mozart's piano music even though they are not completely typical of Mozart's piano…

At about the same time as 1783-85, a version for piano duet was made which rearranged the movements of the five Divertimenti as ?6 Viennese Sonatinas?.

Our new edition is based on the piano version of 1803 but also takes into account the original wind divertimenti and attempts to combine the original phrasing and part-writing with an idiomatic pianistic style. / Partition /

A charming slection of transcribed sonatinas for Piano reflecting the range of Mozart's ouevre and original intent.
