The K218 is one of the three great Mozart Violin Concertos. It was created through the collaboration of three highly skilled experts. The editor, Cliff Eisen, is an expert in Mozart's works. Internationally renowned concertmaster and conductor Andrew Manze contributed stylistically authentic and brilliantly virtuosic cadenzas. Werner Breig created a transparent piano reduction that is easy for any accompanist to play.
Eisen's careful and meticulous evaluation of the sources forms the foundation of the new editions. His unwavering commitment to historical performance practice ensures that each decision is a true reflection of the music's intended style. As a result, the new editions offer some remarkable and unexpected interpretations that shed new light on the music.
Mozart's "Romantic Sonatas" for violin and piano have uncertain authorship. The original autographs are missing, and the publisher, Breitkopf & Härtel, doubted their authenticity. Konstanze, Mozart's wife, offered the sonatas to the publisher in 1799, but they were disappointed and requested the original manuscript. However, it could not be found, adding to Konstanze's doubts.
