Does anyone know where i can hear the mozart sonata k. 627. i can't seem to find it. thank you
I believe Glenn Gould recorded it during a live performance in Decemeber of 1982. It was later distributed on the Concert Artists Label as part of a CD titled "Joyce Hatto and her Imaginery Friends."
glenn gould died on the 4th of october 1982! unless if it was his ghost u saw, u should buy a new pair of spectacles.
Since the last Kochel number in Mozart's catalog is the Requiem K. 626, I assumed, like Slobone, that the request by 8426 was a prank.I decided to respond tongue-in-cheek by saying there was a recording by Gould made in December of '82 (I know he died 2 months earlier and, BTW, he stopped performing publically years before that.) I also mentioned it was available on the Concert Artists Label CD "Joyce Hatto and her Imaginery Friends" which is obviously another tongue-in-cheek reference.I'm sorry you didn't get the joke. Oh, well.
8426, I also had to check. There's the ever revising of the Köchel catalouge that causes this confusion. There is a sonata K627 (look it up even here, at pianostreet), sometimes listed as K547a etc..This sonata is not part of the traditional "Mozart complete pianosonatas" editions. I've never seen it before, so there must be some kind of a story. Is it incomplete? Is there doubt it is by Mozart? Since it is not part of the canon, you'll probably not find any recordings of it either. The sonata in Bb, K570, used to be excluded too. In older editions, like pre WWII, you won't find it. It was at that time known only as a violin sonata. Strangely, the violin only doubles the piano here and there, and the piano part is exactly as the now printed piano sonata. ----------------A little research seems to show that the "K627" is adapted from a sonata for violin and piano in F major. I can only see the first bars here at pianostreet, and it's basically exactly the same. Violinsonata starts with an Andante, though, but the following Allegro is where the "pianosonata" starts. The violinsonata is K547, so look for a recording of that instead, there should be plenty..
