With its elegance, intelligence, and clarity of form, Mozart’s music epitomises The Age of Reason. His Auernhammer Sonatas are dedicated to pianist and composer Josepha Auernhammer. She was Mozart’s prodigiously talented pupil, before becoming his colleague and duo partner. In the company of long-time collaborator, fortepianist Erin Helyard, Richard Tognetti steps into hallowed terrain: Mozart violin sonatas and Auernhammer’s own variations, played on period instruments.
