Mozart's keyboard works for four hands feature among the most delightful and entertaining of his compositions. Indeed, a favourite family pastime was to play duets on a harpsichord or pianoforte. The young Wolfgang and his sister Nannerl apparently spent many happy hours playing together on the same keyboard. This we learn about from the English music historian and traveller Charles Burney reporting in 1772 : «By a letter from Salzburg (…) I am informed that this young man, who so much astonished all Europe by his premature knowledge and performance, during infancy, is still a great master of his instrument. My correspondent went to his father's house to hear him and his sister play duets on the same harpsichord.»
In the sonatas recorded for this CD, humour and ease - generally significant for Mozarts's character - also appear in a very specific form. We know from his letters that he had an extreme sense of humour, and it is this we find even in compositions where he teases and intermingles the hands of the performers. We believe that this artful device of coquetry cleverly woven in the polyphonic texture is neither unintentional nor ungainly.
We decided to use a harpsichord for these recordings as we are convinced that this instrument played a more defining role in the life of the composer than one would be led to believe. This is evident in that as early as 1770 Leopold, Wolfgang's father, had acquired a harpsichord, already mentioned in Burney's letter, and last but not least from the indications «Cembalo 1» and «Cembalo 2» in the autographs of the K 501 and 521 sonatas. On the whole , in our view the harpsichord seems to have been the ideal instrument for the appropriate rendering of this type of composition.
