Summary of This Score
Composed around 1783-1785, the pieces gathered in these "6 Viennese Sonatas" belong to a particularly fertile period of Mozart. Originally, five Divertimenti KV 439b were written for two basset horns and bassoon, before being published in 1803. It was around the same time that a piano version appeared, assembling movements from the Divertimenti under this now well-established title.
This new edition does not simply reproduce the piano transcription published in 1803: it also takes into account the original woodwind Divertimenti. This dual source allows for refining the musical intentions, notably in phrasing and dynamics, while offering a fully idiomatic arrangement for the keyboard. The result provides a "fresh," balanced, and coherent reading, ideal for studying the Viennese classical style with a clear text.
With its easy level, this score is perfectly suited for pianists at the beginning of their studies or returning to the instrument, seeking musically rich repertoire without excessive virtuosity. It also constitutes an excellent pedagogical tool to approach articulation, singing style, elegance of cadences, and rhythmic precision characteristic of Mozart, all within the spirit of the Schott Piano Classics series, now featuring a new cover.
