This complete edition of the Mozart Sonatas for Keyboard and Violin has been researched and prepared by Cliff Eisen, one of the most distinguished Mozart scholars of our time.
Professor Eisen recognises that many of the apparent inconsistencies and idiosyncrasies of Mozart's notation are perfectly deliberate, and that the attempts in many other editions to impose uniformity upon similar phrases or musical paragraphs can be misguided.
As he writes in the preface: '. . .the notion that the classical style represents a model of symmetry, balanceand clarity is for the most part a 19th-century fiction. . .it has little to do withMozart's actual practice, which is based primarily on variety of both content and articulation.
