Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this include all of Mozart's piano sonatas?
No. This is Volume I only, covering the earlier portion of the cycle. The remaining sonatas are in a separate volume.
02What does urtext actually mean here?
The notation reflects Mozart's own sources rather than an editor's interpretation. Dynamics, articulation and phrasing are only what the composer indicated.
03Are fingerings included?
Urtext editions keep editorial additions minimal. Expect to work out fingering with a teacher rather than reading it off the page.
04Is this suitable for an intermediate pianist?
The earlier sonatas are approachable at intermediate level; later ones are considerably harder. Difficulty varies widely within the volume.
