Sorry to be a pain, but I'm buying a few bits and again, I'd like a pointer as to which edition I should order - I want to have a go at the Andante as I think I have a reasonable chance of getting through it after some (read: a lot) of work

So far I've found:

Sonata in C Major, K. 545 by Frederick M. Noad, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Edvard Grieg (Paperback - Dec 1990)

Mozar Sonata in C K. 545 (Signature S.) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Stanley Sadie, and Denis Matthews (Paperback - 2 Jan 1990)

Sonata in C, K. 545 (Complete) (Alfred Masterwork Edition) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Willard A. Palmer (Paperback - Oct 1985)

Should I look for something else or is one of these OK?

If you havent got any Mozart Sonatas yet, I would suggest you consider buying a volume of them. My own edition is in two volumes and is the ABRSM edition (available on line from them) K545 is No 16 so will come in Book 2 (K330 onwards). Im sure you will find them a good investment.
The Andante of K545 is the easiest of all Mozart sonata movements (Grade 3 ish ?), but I'm sure it won't be too long before you are into the others.

Oops , later edit, the Mozart Sonatas do not seem to appear in ABRSM publications list any more ! In which case I would suggest the Henle edition or Urtext. (Try www.chamberlainmusic.com)

Denis Matthews is a real Mozart expert so I would expect his edition to be exceptionally accurate and helpful.

I myself am stuck with the ABRSM vol 1 (seems to no longer be available), Peters Vol 2, and Henle Verlag edition of K330 (which falls between the two volumes). If I'f been as sensible as you all those years ago when I bought them I'd have researched the different Urtexts and as well as accuracy of the notation and quality of any editorial notes and analysis, I'd also taken into account of the suggested fingerings (if any) how well bound they are, the toughness of the cover, the quality of the paper, and the legibility and ease on the eye of the layout and printing.

Yep, that is my reasoning behind attempting that first! The first one I wouldn't mind trying, but at the moment I am terrified of trills/ornaments despite my teacher going over some previously, so I am avoiding pieces with too many of them! Bad form, I know...

Never heard of Chamberlain, so thanks - I'll check them out!



Thanks for that snippet, Tom. I don't seem to be able to find reviews of the books in question so am relying on you lot

If there are any specific volumes I should look at that are not out of print then feel free to throw suggestions my way. I don't mind spending money on a decent set as let's face it, they are an investment for the future, andy anything I can't play now, I will revisit in the future (especially with Mozart as I love so much of his stuff)!

I have always been a fan of the Henle Urtext.

All I see is "Henle Edition"... does one infer the other? ie: is that what "Henle" specialises in?
