Mozart Sonatas K.10-15

[steltz]

These sonatas are posted at IMSLP, but are listed under the heading "Trio Sonatas". With only one solo instrument (flute or violin), plus keyboard and cello, they are more accurately solo sonatas. A Trio Sonata has 2 solo instruments plus basso continuo (comprising two people: keyboard + a bass instrument (cello. bassoon, viola da gamba, double bass, etc.)).

Because Mozart's page is extremely long, the Trio Sonatas are listed on page 2, and I think anyone looking for these will look under Sonatas and not look further.

I haven't checked with the Neue Mozart Ausgabe to see what their title is, but other editions (and recordings) I have seen refer to them as "sonatas". It seems to me IMSLP should list them as "Sonatas".

Any comments, opinions, other information?

That's my fault since I mistakenly thought they were for Violin and Flute plus B.C. instead of Violin (or Flute) and B.C. They've been moved to "Violin Sonata K.10" etc. since the melodic instrument other than Harpsichord is a Violin, Flute being an alternative.

Thanks much!
