An authoritative, complete edition of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s sonatas for violin and keyboard/piano, published in three volumes (all available from Waltons) by Edition Peters.
This edition was 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, balance and clarity is for the most part a 19th-century fiction. It has little to do with Mozart's actual practice, which is based primarily on variety of both content and articulation.’
