Die Kurfürstin-Sonaten op.1
Gewidmet der Kurfürstin Maria Elisabeth von der Pfalz in Mannheim

• G-dur - G major - Sol majeur KV 301 (293a)
• Es-dur - Eb Major - Mib majeur KV 302 (293b)
• C-dur - C major - Ut majeur KV 303 (293c)

• A-dur - A major - la majeur KV 305 (293d)
• D-dur - D major - ré majeur KV 306 (300l)

The present volume contains fully revised versions of Mozart's six sonatas for piano and violin K.301-306 (or, in the numbering of the sixth edition of Köchel's catalogue, K.293a-c, 300c, 293d and 300l). The sonatas were first published in November 1778 by Jean-Georges Sieber in Paris. It is by no means coincidental that the original edition bore the opus number I, being Mozart's first relatively large-scale publication after the quite insignifiant sonatas for piano and violin or flute (and cello) K.6-15 and 26-31, which had already appeared in the 1760s with opus numbers I to IV.

• Es-dur - Eb Major - Mib majeur KV 380 (374f)

A few months after moving to the musical metropolis of Vienna Mozart commenced relations with the house of Artaria, his principal publishers during his lifetime, with the six sonatas for piano and violin K.376, 296 and 377-380 (or, in the numbering of the sixth edtion of Köchel's catalogue, K.374d, 296, 374e, 317d 373a and 374f). This volume presents these six sonatas in fundamentally new revised versions. As befit his understanding of the genre, Mozart dedicated the printed edition od the sonatas not to a violinist but rather to one of his earliest piano pupils in Vienna, Josepha Barbara Aurnhammer.

Violin Sonatas, Volume III by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart for violin and piano

Titles :

Die späreten Wiener Sonaten

• B-dur - Bb major - Sib majeur - KV 454
• Es-dur - Eb major - Mib majeur - KV 481
• A-dur - A major - La majeur - KV 526
• F-dur - F major - Fa majeur - KV 547

Anhang - Appendix - Appendice

• B-dur - Bb major - Sib majeur - KV 570

There can be little question that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's three "late Viennese sonatas" in Bb major (K.454), Eb major (K.481) and A major (K.526) form an initial point of culmination in the genre of the violin sonata. In this volume Henle present these three works together with the little F-major Sonata (K.547) and the arrangement of the Piano Sonata in Bb major (K.570) in new versions revised on the basis of all available sources.
All the pieces collected in this third volume originated as separate works for different occasions, and were published separately by Mozart without being incorporated in a cycle. This may be seen to indicate the special compositional significance Mozart attached to his late sonatas, especially considering that he allowed his early "Kurfürstin Sonatas", op.I (nos. 1-6, HN 77), and even the "Aurnhammer Sonatas", op.II (nos. 7-12, HN 78), to appear in print in the time-honoured format of six-pieces cycles.
