First edition of Mozart's Fantasy KV 397

Post by John Ruggero »

It was published by the Bureau des Arts et d'Industrie in 1804 and a copy is supposedly at the Austrian National Library. It would be good to have it at IMSLP being such a famous piece, with such a famous ending issue. And I need it for my research but can't manage to find it at the Austrian National LIbrary digital platform.

Also there is the first print of the piece with the last few measures added. Breitkopf und Härtel 1806. I found it at the Internationale Stiftung Mozarteum Salzburg - Bibliotheca Mozartiana: Digitale Sammlunge Oeuvres completes vol. 17. This is also a foundational edition for this piece and it would be great if it were added to IMSLP.

Perhaps someone who is more adept at these searches and ability to produce acceptable scans for IMSLP might consider adding these? Several years ago I requested early Mozart piano sonata editions that now appear on IMSLP, and I am very grateful to those who supplied them.

Thank you!

That's a great addition, coulonnus. Thank you.

Are you having any luck finding the 1804 first edition? It is cited in all current Urtext editions, so it must be available somewhere.

I found this result in https://search.onb.ac.at/primo-explore/ ... d&offset=0 at Austrian National Library.

But you have to visit them. Generally libraries are not keen on digitizing something at your request.
