Mozart / Youn,William - William Youn Plays Mozart Sonatas 2 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Sometime an old box of tapes, overlooked for decades, could reserve nice surprises. This album is a collection of those surprises. In the years of my collaboration with Steve Lacy, we did a lot of recording and we selected what was the best for the short length of the vinyl LPs. So some tracks were edited leaving part of the improvisations out or discarded for a similarity with something already included in the albums.

William Youn - Youn Plays Mozart Sonatas [COMPACT DISCS] date 01/28/2014

Late in 2014, part of Mozart's manuscript of the Sonata, K. 331 was found in Budapest. The manuscript, with the exception of the last page of the last movement, Rondo alla turca, had so far been considered missing under mysterious circumstances. The new Urtext, according to the pianist's statement, not only contains alterations in the phrase markings, articulation, rhythm and dynamics, but there are some different notes as well. The opening of the second movement is particularly interesting for William Youn InchWith the new phrase indication and new note (A instead of C-sharp) in the third bar, I play the entire phrase with a completely different quality, which lends it a different character as well. Bars 24-26 of the same movement have always been played in the minor key up until now - and they are now suddenly in major!Inch
