Sonata in A Major, K. 331 (300i) with Alla Turca - Piano

A spectacular finding concerning Mozart occured in the autumn of 2014 when a hitherto totally unknown manuscript by Mozart's own hand was discovered in Budapest. It is the larger part of the autograph of one of Mozart's most well-known piano sonatas: the Piano Sonata in A major which begins with the moving Siciliano theme and contains the everlasting Turkish March as its last movement. Many are familiar with this piano work -- and yet until that point, no one had known it entirely. Here, the definitive Urtext of important parts of this masterwork were able to be published. The deviations from the score of the sonata as generally used previously can be regarded as grave differences. They are described in the edition.
