Myslivecek - Six Easy Sonatas for Keyboard (Spurný)

Numerous copies of the sonatas for piano/ harpsichord by Josef Myslivecek (1737-1781) are scattered throughout Europe, which testifies to their popularity at the time (among others, W. A. Mozart mentioned them approvingly in a letter to his father). Three years after the composer's death, they were published in Edinburgh under the title “Six Easy Lessons for the Harpsichord”.

Until now, there has been no edition that has taken all available sources into account. Vojtech Spurný, the editor of this Urtext edition who is a pianist, conductor and specialist in historical performance practice, relied on a copy of the sonatas from the Bavarian State Library in Munich as his main source.

The sonatas are suitable both as concert literature and for teaching purposes, as they represent an ideal introduction to the classical period.
