Wolfgang Amadeus wrote the Fugue for 2 pianos in C minor KV 426 in December 1783, most probably under the influence of the fugues by Handel and Bach he had got acquainted with at the home of Baron Gottfried van Swieten. Some years later, he arranged the fugue for string orchestra, adding an introductory Adagio. This new piece (KV 546) was entered into Mozart's own catalogue of works on 26 June 1788.

Musicologist Robert D. Levin wrote about the Adagio: “Angular outbursts alternate with an unearthly hush; its suggestions of violence and mysticism make the ensuing geometry of the fugue seem a relief”.

This arrangement of Mozart's Adagio & Fugue in C minor for piano duet is based on the orchestral score, but it incorporates some details and features of the 2 piano version in the fugue.

It is perfect for enjoying it at home, for study/analysis purposes and for conducting classes.
