| Title Name | Three (3) Sonatas for Keyboard Four Hands |
| Marketing Copy | These four-hand keyboard sonatas by Johann Christian Bach (1735-1782), found in this collection edited by Wilhelm Weismann, was likely inspired by a 1765 visit to London by a 9-year-old W.A. Mozart and his sister Nannerl, where they played young Mozart's YOUTH SONATA in C Major, the likely first such four hand keyboard sonata to be composed. While the harpsichord would still be considered the primary keyboard instrument of the time, the first edition actually mentions the pianoforte first before the harpsichord in the title, proving the rising interest in the new instrument. The three sonatas included are: 1. Sonata in C Major, Op. 15, No. 6; 2. Sonata in A Major, Op. 18, No. 5; 3. Sonata in F Major, Op. 18, No. 6. Reprint edition. |
