- Leopold Kozeluch was in his time a famous composer, on a par with C.P.E. Bach and even Mozart. His keyboard sonatas, although relatively modest in length, share the same qualities with those of his illustrious contemporaries: strong focus on melody and melodious figuration, vivid and brilliant accompaniments and a genuine expression of feeling, both lyrical and dramatic.

- This new recordings presents the complete works for pianoforte 4-hands, ranging from sonatas of substantial proportions and virtuosity (Op.9 and Op.29) to the lighter sonatas Op.12, accessible also to Liebhaber, to borrow Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach’s term.

- Played on two period instruments, a fortepiano by Johann Schantz, ca. 1805, and a square piano Longman & Broderip, 1789.

- Performed by Marius Bartoccini and Ilario Gregoletto, both specialists of historic instruments and avid researchers of forgotten repertoire.
