Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)
Walter Klien, Piano
Mozart's solo piano works (non Sonatas) are significantly more than a collection of elegant parlour pieces. They also express a surprisingly wide and powerful spectrum of emotions, employ numerous forms and to listen to these works is a miniature but eloquent snapshot of Mozart's life and output. Simple elegance imbues all of them while some also show astounding audacity in chromatic harmonies and large scale counterpoint.
Renowned Mozartian Walter Klien (1928-1991) established himself as an exponent second to none. His recordings of Mozart Sonatas and Concerti have been continuously available and in constant demand since they were made. These recordings are presented here on CD for the first time. Complete Variations including: Ah Vous dirai-je Maman (Twinkle twinkle little star) Miscellaneous works including: Fantasy in D minor K. 397 Rondo in A Minor, K. 511 Adagio in B minor K. 540 Rondo in D K. 485 Klaviersuite in C K. 399 Eine kleine Gigue in G K. 574 Capriccio in C K. 395 Various Fantasies, Fugues, Marches, Sonata movements, works for mechanical organ.
