Leopold Mozart

Leopold Mozart's Notebook for Wolfgang Arranged for Ukulele

While many are familiar with the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, fewer are aware that his father, Leopold Mozart, was a famous composer in his own right. At the age of seven, Wolfgang received a notebook from his father as a birthday gift. The 'Notebook for Wolfgang' includes contemporary dances and arias, mostly by Leopold Mozart. These compositions provide a glimpse into the formative years of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. This book includes fifteen pieces from the notebook arranged for the Ukulele. The melody and bass parts are arranged so the original notation and polyphony are maintained. Each chapter includes pieces presented in standard notation and tablature.
