Epistle Sonata In C KV 336 (Organ) MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS

Classique

Description :

From 1772 onward, Mozart wrote 17 short single movement works called Epistle Sonatas , designed to be played in the Eucharist service between the Epistle and the Gospel. The Epistle Sonata in C (K.336) was the last of these, written in 1780. Shortly afterwards the Archbishop decreed that a motet or hymn should be sung instead, and they fell into disuse. The Epistle Sonata in C was originally scored for two Violins, Basso Continuo, and Baroque Organ. It has been arranged for solo Organ (with pedals) by Nigel Davison.
