Early Music @ 1 - Monday 25th May

Welcome to today's edition of Early Music @ 1! We're very lucky to have Anders Muskens perform a movement from W. A. Mozart's Sonata No. 15 in F Major on fortepiano for us. Some of you might recognize Anders as he is one of the winners of the 2018 Early Music Young Ensemble Competition where he performed in a duo with soprano Tinka Pypker! If you'd like to listen to their wonderful performance you can buy a recording on CD.
