Piano part 85 pp. Violin part 28 pp. First edition: a mixed set - the piano part is the second issue with the "22" on th title page, and the extremely rare violin part is the third issue with the "22" and "fl5." Haberkamp 173, 128. RISM M 6491. Hoboken 129. Superb, well-struck engravings, with two ink underlinings on the violin page.

The "Auernhammer Sonatas" are dedicated to Mozart's former piano pupil, Josepha Barbara Auernhammer (1758 - 1820). "It should not be overlooked that the dedication of this second set of six sonatas is not to a violinist but to a pianist; and also that it is no longer to a noble patron but to a musician and a burgher, just as, three years later, Mozart was to dedicated his six string quartets to his colleague Joseph Haydn. K. 379, 376, 377, and 380 are works of great historic significance: They are the first important chamber works Mozart wrote after his decision to stay in Vienna as a free artist; they constitute his visiting card as a composer. The grand style of Idomeneo is still ringing in them, and at other moments they foreshadow The Abduction frmo the Seraglio, the first act of which was completed by August 22, 1781."
