Piano Sonata in B flat major
Product Details
Description
At first glance, this work maybe eclipsed by the earlier Sonata in B major, KV 333 but Mozart's Sonata KV 570 is by the far the more popular work, especially in piano lessons. This maybe due to its more moderate technical demands on the one hand and to the larger variety of musical techniques in Mozart's piano style with which this sonata has in relatively manageable dimensions. The middle movement with its rich colour of wind instruments seems like an orchestral movement of the later Mozart, transcribed for the piano. This Wiener Urtext Edition presents the work in a low-priced separate edition which is suitable for lessons, studies and concert performances.

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.
