Violin Sonata in A major, K.402/385e (incomplete)
Fugue probably completed by Maximilian Stadler (1748-1833)

I. Andante, ma un poco adagio (0:00)
II. Fugue; Allegro moderato (6:42)

Isabelle van Keulen, violin and Ronald Brautigam, piano

Mozart left the fugue uncomplete. The completion is by Maximilian Stadler. Since the holograph is lost, Stadler's contribution is not clear. Constanze Mozart wrote, that "half of the fugue is work by Mozart" ("zur Hälfte Mozarts Arbeit", letter to Breitkopf & Härtel, March 1st, 1800). Cf. Critical Report to NMA VIII,23 p.131 (german).
Kirkendal (1979) suggests, for stylistic reasons, completion may begin after F major entry in bars 51-5.
