As a special addition to this collection, the Dichters did a bit of digging and found two of Mozart's works that had received input—some might call it meddling— from later composers. Busoni was a skilled arranger— he may be best known for his demonic piano version of Bach's Chaconne—and, intrigued by Mozart's brilliant Fantasy, K.608—the one originally for Mechanical Clock—he rescored the piece for two pianos. The result is astounding and shows how Mozart's melodies can be adapted. But what may be the most unusual piece of all is the Sonata, K.545. This work was originally for one piano, but a century after Mozart composed it, Edvard Grieg decided to take this delicate piece and add a second piano part. Leaving the first piano exactly as Mozart had written it, Grieg added a second, independent part, played here by Misha Dichter.
