Mozart's Fantasy and Sonata in C minor is published as part of ABRSM's 'Signature' Series - a series of authoritative performing editions of standard keyboard works prepared from original sources by leading scholars. Includes informative introductions and performance notes. Fantasy and Sonata in C Minor are essentially two separate works but are invariably performed as part of a set having originally been paired together by the composer in what was an unusual coupling of works. The formal freedom of the fantasia allowed Mozart to create a particularly expressive example of keyboard music that is in stark contrast to the limitations of the more traditional forms. The Fantasia in C Minor K.475 unfolds in four parts each change of tempo signalling the introduction and development of new material. It is a wonderful and pleasing work with an unmistakable improvisational undertone that draws on Mozart’s most inventive andcreative talents displaying his supreme and consummate ability as composer and pianist. Sonata in C Minor K.457 as is typical of his compositions in C minor is a personal work but not sombre or morose as there is intensity and a sense of drama. A moving and expressive work that is accentuated by the preceding Fantasia. Published within the Signature Series a series of authoritative performing editions of standard keyboard works prepared from original sources by leading scholars including informative introductions and performance notes and forms part of the ABRSM syllabus.

String Quartet No.3 was written for and first performed by the Balanescu Quartet February 1990 at the Queen Elizabeth Hall London. Duration 16 minutes. Instrumental parts are available on sale. Quoting composer: In thesummer of 1989 I composed a choral work Out of the Ruins for Agnieszka Piotrowska’s BBC2 documentary which dealt with the physical and emotional responses of some inhabitants of Leninakhan to the earthquake whichdevastated Armenia the previous December. When he heard the recording of the work that I made with the Holy Echmiadzin Chorus under the fervent conducting of Khoren Meykhanejian Alex Balanescu suggested turning Out of the Ruinsinto a string quartet. There seemed no reason or opportunity to do this until I felt the need to add to the intensity of my experiences in Armenia the no less profound experience of witnessing the images of the Romanianrevolution on television during the later part of December 1989. The compositional procedure was as follows: to take Out of the Ruins as a template on which the Romanian vocal or instrumental music would be superimposed quite often stretched into new intervallic shapes though the demands of the completely performed harmonic structure.

It is unknown for what occasion W. A. Mozart composed the Kyrie in D minor KV 341 (368a) but its structure and instrumentation would suggest that he had a large-scale mass in mind which remained unfinished. It was probably written around the same time as the Idomeneo while Mozart was staying in Munich between November 1780 and March 1781. - Urtext of the New Mozart Edition - Full score parts (BA4702) and vocal score (BA4702-90) available for sale
