About the album

Vaughan Schlepp: fortepiano (copy after Stein, ca.1785, P. McNulty) | Antoinette Lohmann: violin (G. Piattelini, 1770)Two of Leopold Mozart's students:
Margarethe Danzi (1768-1800) and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) Little is known about the composer, pianist, and singer Margarethe Danzi. Nevertheless, her work was known and highly esteemed during her lifetime. She was the daughter of the well-known singer, actor and theatre director Theobald Hilarius Marchand and the actress Magdalena Brochard. In 1790 she married Franz Danzi. She spent an important part of her musical education studying in Salzburg with Leopold Mozart, at whose house she lived between 1782 and 1784, together with her brother, the violinist Heinrich Marchand. Margarethe (who was also called Gretl or Gredl) and her brother appear regularly in the diaries and letters of the Mozart family.
As a pedagogue Leopold Mozart played an essential role in the musical education and development of his son, Wolfgang Amadeus, as well as authoring the Violinschule that even today remains a standard in the violin pedagogic repertoire.
Betoverende sonates van een onbekende componist
Dit album bevat sonates & variaties voor fortepiano en viool van Margarethe Danzi, uitgevoerd door Antoinette Lohmann en Vaughan Schlepp.

Er is weinig bekend over de componist, pianiste en zangeres Margarethe Danzi. Haar werk was echter bekend tijdens haar leven, een werd hoog gewaardeerd. Ze was de dochter van de bekende zanger, acteur en theaterdirecteur Theobald Hilarius Marchand en de actrice Magdalena Brochard. Ze besteedde een belangrijk deel van haar muzikale opleiding aan haar studie bij Leopold Mozart in Salzburg, waar ze tussen 1782 en 1784 leefde, samen met haar broer.

In 1790 trouwde Margarethe met de componist Franz Danzi. Ze ging zich daarna steeds meer op het componeren richten en schreef onder andere de sonates op dit album. Deze betoverende en elegante werken worden door Lohmann en Schlepp op historische instrumenten uitgevoerd. Tijdgenoten beschreven het werk van Danzi als “uitingen van een ziel met eigen gedachten en diepe gevoelens”.
�ber Margarethe Danzi geb. Marchand (1768-1800) ist nicht sehr viel bekannt. Man wei� aber, dass sie aus einer Frankfurter Musiker- und Theaterfamilie stammt und Gemeinsam mit ihrem Bruder als Kind Sch�lerin bei Leopold Mozart war. Sie wurde als S�ngerin und Clavierspielerin ausgebildet und hatte gro�en Kontakt zur Mozart-Familie, so auch zu Wolfgang Amadeus, der sie sowohl f�rderte als auch konstruktiv kritisierte. Nach der Hochzeit 1790 mit dem bekannten Komponisten Franz Danzi widmete sie sich mehr und mehr der Komposition und hinterlie� u.a. die vorliegenden Sonaten f�r Forte Piano und obligate Violine, ganz bezaubernde, elegante St�cke, die von Antoinette Lohmann und Vaughan Schlepp hinrei�end auf originalen Instrumenten dargeboten werden. Die Zeitgenossen beschrieben ihr Werk so: ?�u�erungen einer Seele mit eigenen Gedanken und tiefem Gef�hl?.

Mozart was a child prodigy. Already competent on keyboard and violin, he composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty. Along with Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven, Mozart is considered to be one of the most influential composers of all of music's history. Within the classical tradition, he was able to develop new musical concepts which left an everlasting impression on all the composers that came after him. Together with Joseph Haydn and Ludwig van Beethoven he is part of the First Viennese School. At 17, Mozart was engaged as a musician at the Salzburg court, but grew restless and traveled in search of a better position. From 1763 he traveled with his family through all of Europe for three years and from 1769 he traveled to Italy and France with his father Leopold after which he took residence in Paris. On July 3rd, 1778, his mother passed away and after a short stay in Munich with the Weber family, his father urged him to return to Salzburg, where he was once again hired by the Bishop. While visiting Vienna in 1781, he was dismissed from his Salzburg position. He chose to stay in the capital, where he achieved fame but little financial security. During his final years in Vienna, he composed many of his best-known symphonies, concertos, and operas, and portions of the Requiem, which was largely unfinished at the time of his death.
