Like the erliest piano concertos from his Vienna years, it was written without obligato wind instruments. The present edition has been revised on the basis of the autograph score formely located in the holdings of the Prussian State Library in Berlin but now in Bibloteka Jagiellońska in Crocow. An original cadenza has survived in autograph. The solo piano part is identical in all respects to the text of the original sources. Orchetral accompaniament (Piano II) has been made as consisted as possibile with the original score as regards dynamics and articulation.

Mozart's Piano Concerto in D-major, K. 537, is dated 24 February 1788 in Mozart's own autograph catalogue of works. As Mozart performed the piece on 15 October 1790 during the coronation ceremonies in Frankfurt it has been given the nickname "Coronation Concerto" even though he also played F-major Concerto K. 459 on the same occasion. Mozart had already taken K. 537 on his tour of Dresden, Leipzig and Berlin, playing it on 14 April 1798 at the Dresden court. The present edition has been revidsed on the basis of autograph score located in the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York.

Concerto "Coronation" in D major for Piano and Orchestra KV 573 nr 26 (Mozart Wolfgang Amadeus)

This volume present two compositions by Dmitri Shostakovich taken from quite different creative periods.
The Suite in F# minor for two pianos Op. 6, was written in March 1922 when Shostakovich was studying at the Petrograd Conservatory. As the autograph shows, he committed the eintire work to paper without a break and with practically no corrections, dedicating in to the memory of his father, Dmitri Boleslavovich Shostakovich, who had died only shortly before, on February 24. The Suite was first heard in public on March 20, 1925 in the Auditorium Minor of the Moscow Conservatory, played by the composer and Lev Oborin.
Shostakovich wrote his "Merry March" in 1949, assing to it in the autograph the opus number 81. He then apparently decided against publishing the piece, and instead used the opus number 81 for the oratorio "The Song of the Forests" composed the same year. In our edition we have followed the autograph.
