Mozart - 12 Variations on "Ah, vous dirai-je Maman" Kv265

Only very few works in the piano literature have become as popular as this theme with twelve variations. Mozart's popularity began soon after his death, as evidenced by numerous handwritten copies and prints.

There is no certain information about the circumstances of its origin. “Ah, vous dirai-je Maman” has now been conclusively dated to 1781. At that time, Mozart wanted to succeed as a prominent piano teacher in Vienna. His variations remain an excellent teaching work to this day.

Our edition has been fundamentally revised and now also offers an extremely informative foreword by Mozart expert Ulrich Konrad. A facsimile of the work based on Mozart's manuscript has also been published by Henle (HN 3213).
