Mozart; Sonatas for Fortepiano & Violin

Bezuidenhout, Kristian;
Müllejans, Petra

HMU 907494

According to legend, Mozart was so rushed when writing K379 and K454 that he was forced to première the pieces with incomplete piano parts. Paying homage to this spirit of spontaneity in a programme of some of Mozart's most beloved chamber works, Petra Müllejans and Kristian Bezuidenhout present a reading of these pieces that recaptures the freshness and volatility of those early performances. Violin by Joseph Clotz, Mittenwald, c.1700; fortepiano by Derek Adlam, Welbeck, 1987, after Anton Walter, Vienna, c.1795 (from the collection of Christopher Hogwood). Temperament: Thomas Young, A = 430
