About the Authors

Wolf-Dieter Seiffert (Editor)

Dr. Wolf-Dieter Seiffert, born in 1959 in Frankfurt/M., read musicology, modern German literature, and philosophy at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich. On a scholarship from the “Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes”, he did his doctorate in 1990 with a thesis on “Mozarts frühe Streichquartette” (Rudolf Bockholdt).

Music Teacher Magazine, 2004

Painstakingly reconstructed from original manuscripts, the solo part is admirably clear, enhanced by Kurt Guntner's detailed suggestions for bowing and fingering.

The violinist anxious to perform Mozart is spoiled for choice when presented with editions such as these.
