Mozart: Piano Sonata E flat major K. 282 (189g)

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Ernst Herttrich (Editor)

Hans-Martin Theopold (Fingering)

Mozarts only piano sonata in E-flat major was probably written during his stay in Munich in early 1775. Its first movement an Adagio, unconventionally is one of those pieces by the young genius that are immediately and profoundly touching. Two minuets follow, inspired by the timbre of woodwinds; and a quick finale in 2/4 with a striking opening motive concludes this masterwork of medium difficulty. Mozarts clean manuscript copy is the only editorially relevant source, all the early print editions having proved flawed.
