W.A.Mozart Sonata IV in F Major (Vitus Petersson 1928 Edition)

[searchingfordistance]

I was just wondering why I can't find this piece here or on youtube. I have this book (old book) and I would like to listen to the piece. The book contains the Sonatas I-IX (1-9).

I have 3 more books that I got at the same time and they are (Frédéric Chopin, Franz Schubert, Georg Friedrich Händel)


I have attached pictures of the movements ( Allegro & Allegretto)
I Hope somebody can give me some info

I have had a look and it appears to be this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_Sonata_in_F_major,_K._547a_(Mozart)
I never knew such a thing existed before today!

Please be aware that it's attribution to Mozart is somewhat problematic. It appears to have been first published some years after he died, and is a transcribed amalgam of some of his other works. Looks like a case of not letting a composer's death get in the way of making money from them.

Yes it seems like they wanted to earn some easy money by re-writing pieces by Mozart and make it look like one of their own original creation


It was originally published as an original sonata by Breitkopf and Härtel in 1799 but was soon found to be an amalgam of movements culled from other compositions.

The work has two movements:
Allegro (a solo-piano transcription of the second movement of the violin sonata, K. 547)
Rondo (a transposition of the finale to the C major "Sonata Facile" into F major)

The set of six keyboard variations on an original Andante, K. 54/547b are sometimes played as an additional third movement to this piece. These variations are themselves also transcribed from the same violin sonata (K. 547) as the Allegro with its fourth variation (which was violin-centric in the original) re-written.
