Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
"Wunderkind" Sonatas Volume III for Piano and Violin K. 26-31
In autumn 1765 Mozart’s family was in Holland, not least at the request of Princess Caroline von Nassau-Weilburg. The fame of the prodigy Wolfgang Amadeus had already reached her so that she “had an extraordinary desire to see this child” (according to Leopold Mozart). The Sonatas for Piano K. 26–31 that can also have a violin accompaniment were composed in The Hague.
They were published in 1766 and were naturally dedicated to the princess. An early copy which has nothing to do with Mozart was consulted by the New Mozart Edition as a primary source alongside the first edition. Our Urtext edition revises the musical text, deleting the misleading additions from this source.

About the Composer

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Mozart is one of the few composers to have produced masterpieces in all genres. On the concert tours he undertook in his early years (London, Mannheim, Italy, Paris) he gained many varied musical impressions that he assimilated in his youth and which formed the prerequisite for his later consummate musical language.
About the Authors

Wolf-Dieter Seiffert (Editor)
Dr. Wolf-Dieter Seiffert, born in 1959 in Frankfurt/M., read musicology, modern German literature, and philosophy at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich. On a scholarship from the “Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes”, he did his doctorate in 1990 with a thesis on “Mozarts frühe Streichquartette” (Rudolf Bockholdt). That same year, Seiffert started work at G. Henle Publishers as an editor. Parallel to his work at the publisher, he completed a diploma in business studies at the St. Gallen University, KMU-HSG, financed by the Günter Henle Foundation. Seiffert became managing director of G. Henle Verlag in 2000.
Seiffert has edited numerous Urtext editions for G. Henle Publishers, predominantly on Mozart’s works.

Die Sonaten KV 6 bis 31 sind eine Fundgrube!
ESTA Nachrichten, 2013Das Notenbild ist, wie von Henle gewohnt, sehr gut lesbar, der Notentext sehr präzise erstellt, ergänzt um einen akribischen Editionsbericht. ... Diese Sonatensammlungen eignen sich für den Unterricht, die Klavierparts reichen bis zu mittlerer Schwierigkeit, die Violinstimme geht selten über die erste Lage hinaus.
Das Orchester, 2013Diese neuen Henle-Ausgaben übernehmen offensichtlich die lesefreundlichen Seiteneinteilungen des Erstdruckes von Amsterdam, bringen für die Klavierstimme unaufdringliche Fingersatz-Vorschläge, und eine weitere jeweils beigegebene Violinstimme enthält hilfreiche Strichbezeichnungen.
NMZ, 2013In three separate volumes, Henle's carefully researched publication includes two separate violin parts, one sparingly, but stylishly, marked by Benjamin Schmid. Budding young musicians will be inspired to play these delightful early gems written by a performer of similar age.
Strings magazine, 2013Die Henle-Ausgabe liefert nicht nur einen hervorragenden Notentext nach Urtext-Standard, sondern auch in Vorwort und kritischem Bericht wertvolle Anregungen zur Interpretation. Lesenswert auch die musikhistorische Einordnung der bemerkenswerten Stücke.
