The collection of twenty pieces from Köchel Verzeichnis (K.V.) 1-15 is based on Albert Edition 516, 1979, edited by Warren Thomson. Quoth: "The student will find that these charming pieces provide an introduction to the keyboard music of the Viennese Classical Period and to the sonatinas and sonatas of Mozart in particular." There is also a very thorough write-up at the Naxos (God bless 'em) site: and here: . The title of this collection in English is The London (Chelsea) Notebook or sometimes -better- Sketchbook; the German title is usually Londoner Skizzenbuch, 43 Stücke für Cembalo. Some of the pieces are fragments or unfinished. The MIDI Cembalo voice in the soundfont I use (Merlin GM Pro V6.0) is not very good, so I used mainly Grand Piano instead. I hope that the use of other instruments follows in an obvious way from the nature of the respective composition. In K.V.15d Rondeau I used a trumpet for the right hand because it sounds (to me) a bit like a hunting theme. The shift from D major to D minor in the middle part, which is not repeated, makes for quite a dramatic effect. Note that the final repeat of part one has inverted the dynamics of the original line: mezzo forte becomes piano, and vice versa; this way, the dynamics keep alternating, even when considering the middle part, and the piece ends on a mezzo forte, instead of fizzling into a piano.
