K. Volostnov. W. A. Mozart Fantasy f-moll KV 608

[mradipatti]

apparently a certain Henle " found" original sheet music of this piece that had already been transcribed for 4 hands on the pianoforte. Justus Frantz and Christoph Eschenbach completed a masterful recording ( DGG ) 35 years ago, perhaps there is a video of it.

This is surely one of Mozart's masterpieces, albeit written for a mechanical organ. The master of all he surveys...
