Mozart, 6 Sonatas For Violin And Piano KV 55-60 (Breitkopf & Härtel)
Mozart’s “6 Sonatas for Violin and Piano” KV 55–60 (Breitkopf & Härtel), often referred to as the “Romantic Sonatas,” present an intriguing chapter in the composer’s catalog. This collection’s authorship is shrouded in mystery: the original manuscripts are lost, and even the first publisher, Breitkopf & Härtel, harbored doubts about their authenticity when Konstanze Mozart offered them in 1799. Despite their charming Classical style and expressive interplay between violin and piano, the lack of original autographs and Konstanze’s eventual refusal to guarantee their provenance has left these works surrounded by speculation. Nevertheless, these sonatas remain fascinating for performers and scholars alike, offering both delightful music and a glimpse into the complexities of Mozart’s posthumous legacy. The Breitkopf & Härtel edition provides clear notation and historical notes, making this collection a valuable addition to any violinist’s library—whether for performance or study.
