Title: Question about Mozart D minor fantasia.
Post by: Petter on December 25, 2007, 06:25:18 PM

Im learning this from the sheet music available here on Pianostreet.com and I have a question about the 2nd presto part (bar 44). In the 4th note bracket with all the ascending 16th notes theres an extra "a" note that breaks the symmetry of this phrase (At least thats my impression) . Anyone know if this is a typo or not?
 And what publisher do you recommend for sheet music when it comes to Mozart?

I have the Henle urtext. That group of notes, if I understand you correctly, begins on a at the bottom of the bass and ends at e at the top of the treble. I don't see any extra a to disturb the pattern.

Sorry its hard to explain and I cant figure out how to copy paste from the pdf file. I played alot of bach and I really like the henle editions so I suppose I should get it for mozart aswell.

My Presser edition shows two bracketed  figures at the beginning of bar 44 (a 3-note and 4-note unit) then 3 identical descending bracketed units, each starting on b flat and ending on g#.

Sorry, what I meant to say was,  this bar is a straightforward chromatic run, starting on  a at the bottom of the bass and ending at e at the top of the treble. I don't see any extra a to disturb the pattern.

The most authoritative edition of Mozart's works is the Barenreiter Urtext Edition.  I highly recommend it.

I also recommend a book called Eighteenth-Century Keyboard Music which is edited by Robert L. Marshall.

it maybe sometimes confusing... i know, but you gotta try it note by note veery slowly, and then play it at fast as you can... you´ll see the difference! and will enjoy it!
and I also don't see any extra note that disturbs the patterns.
