| Extra Information | The selection of 32 piano pieces perhaps originates from "Notenbuch für Wolfgang: eine Auswahl der leichtesten Stücke" (Schott, 1939). The pieces (including those by composers other than the compiler) display the conventions and style of the classical period. According to the traditional interpretation, the notebook was given to Wolfgang as a present on his seventh birthday, Oct. 31st 1762, from his father Leopold. Wolfgang Plath writes in the preface to volume IX/27/1 of the Neue Mozart-Ausgabe (p.IX): "The dedication inscription, allegedly written by Leopold Mozart and dated 31. Oktober 1762, turned out to be a crude forgery. There remained an anomymous piano- and music-book from about 1750 of Central German provenance without any relationship to Mozart." |
