Piano Sonata A minor
Product Details
Description
This new edition contains the facsimile of the entire Mozart autograph, plus the musical text newly edited by Ulrich Leisinger, who drew upon the autograph and the first edition as found in the first volume of the new Wiener Urtext edition of Mozart's piano sonatas (UT 50226). The editor's decisions can be followed in the critical annotations as well as, perhaps even more importantly, in the direct comparison with the original manuscript. The edited musical text with fingerings, tried and tested page turns and a clear engraving offers a very convenient basis for practical use. The preface gives information about the work’s origins and the autograph’s eventful history.

Standard works of music literature in the original text
The Wiener Urtext Edition is a scientific critical edition for prac-tice and differs from other editions declared as "original text" in that it contains extensive textual informa-tion in German and English (partly French):
Its preface informs about the work, its genesis and significance for the history of music, about written records and problems of the wording of the text as well as about the respective method applied for editing. Despite their necessary briefness, the critical annotations clearly account for editorial decisions and mention textual divergence going back to the author himself. The music text itself was produced on the basis of an exact checking of all sources by experienced musico-logists. Autographs, first editions, copies and patterns for engravings were used.
In some cases, these materials were analysed completely for the first time. Editions for teaching, studies, concert practice, including comprehensive information about the works by detailed introductions and editorial notes and notes on interpretation. Prepared for practice by interpreters resp. educationalists of international repute.
