Mozart’s d-minor Fantasie was left incomplete by the composer, with the last 10 bars added by his publisher. Pianists have offered various solutions to complete it, including Mitsuko Uchida recomposing the final bars and Alexander Moravcsik, a 12-year old pianist, writing a cadenza that returns to the traditional ending. Moravcsik’s performance of his solution can be heard from 7’20” to 9’38” in a recital in Princeton, NJ on December 10, 2011.
