Mozart: 6 Three-Part Preludes and Fugues K. 404a No. 1 - 3

edition for vl,va,vc(db) “I am presently collecting the fugues of Bach – not only of sebastian, but also of Emanuel and friedeman”, wrote Mozart to his father in April 1782. This could be a hint that the Six Three-Part Preludes and Fugues were derived from this collection: Mozart wrote string-trio arrangements of two preludes and five fugues by Johann Sebastian Bach, and of one fugue by Wilhelm Friedemann Bach. This apparently plunged him into such a creative mood that he simply wrote the missing preludes himself.It is to Johann Nepomuk David that we owe the first edition of this work, which introduced this unique document to a broad public for the first time. The present edition has retained David’s basic editorial decision to adapt the divergent passages of Mozart’s arrangement to Bach’s original music text.Contents:No. 1 - Adagio by Wolfgang Amadeus MozartFuga Mozart's arrangement of Johann Sebastian Bach, Das Wohltemperirte Clavier I, Fuga 8 in D# minor BWV 853No. 2 - Adagio by Wol
