FRANCESCO PETRINI (1744-1819): Sonatas for Harp and Violin, Op. 3, Nos. 3 & 6, WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART (1756-1791): 6 Sonatas for Harp and Violin, K 26-31, Adagio for Glass Harmonica, K 536 (K 617a).

Description: mall print on the original published edition of the Mozart says “also playable on the harp”, so this is a legitimate performing option and, along with the Petrini sonatas, specifically written for harp with accompanying violin (and in which the harp part can also by played by itself), makes for a very attractive period-instrument recording using a single-action Wolters French harp of 1785. Masumi Nagasawa (harp), Ryo Terakado (violin).
