This Henle edition is full of mistakes! The publisher can freely admit this, because the odd notes here all come from Mozart himself - he consciously inserted them into his Musical Joke. In this amusi...

The idea for this, the penultimate work in Fauré's oeuvre, came in 1922 from his publisher Jacques Durand, who had published Ravel's famous Piano Trio just a few years earlier. Fauré initially did not...

Mozart often began work on a composition only to put it aside, unfinished. Some of these fragments contain wonderful music, as is proved by these three piano trio fragments. Mozart composed them at di...
