The sixth CD of a series in which the Finnish pianist Tuija Hakkila records all piano sonatas by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. After her piano studies in Helsinki and Paris, Tuija Hakkila has focused on playing authentic instruments. In this project she plays a copy of a fortepiano built by Anton Walter shortly after 1780 (Mozart's concert instrument, which is now on display in the composer's birthplace
… in Salzburg). It is a wonderful instrument that is fully appreciated by Hakkila's masterful playing. The sixth CD consists of the Sonata in C, KV 279, unpublished during Mozart's lifetime, the Sonate in A minor, KV 310 and the Sonata in D, KV 576, the first part of which was written, very exceptional for Mozart, in 6/8 measure.
