This two-movement sonata, one of Mozart‘s most popular, is presented here in its original key. In neither of the two movements have any notes been changed from the original violin version (apart from the octave down transposition). The “Easier Versions” always stay in the Neck Region. In order to achieve this, the higher register passages have been transposed down an additional octave.
