Concerto in A Major K. 488 (#23)
For at least 30 years, Lühl has waited for the occasion to fulfill one of his dearest dreams: to record Wolfgang Gottlieb Mozart’s Piano Concerto K. 488 in A Major (#23) for two pianos. Already at age 10, he started a transcription of the orchestral part, but due to lack of motivation, the project was left aside. Now, thanks to the modern era of technology and the revolutionary re-recording process, he was able to make his dream come true by transcribing and recording the entire work alone, while at the same time adding his small mark as a respectful composer by writing the first movement’s cadenza in Mozart’s genuine style.

Sonata in C Major K. 330/330h (#10)
Mozart's Piano Sonata in C Major K. 330/300h (mostly referred to as #10 by the publishers) is one of the three works in the cycle of piano sonatas K.330-332. The work is considered one of Mozart's most popular piano sonatas, and has been featured in classical music-related films, such as Sparky's Magic Piano. The sonata was composed in 1783, when Mozart was twenty-seven years old. It was published, with the other two sonatas in the cycle, by Artaria in 1784. Artaria & Co. was an important publishing house for art and maps founded by Carlo Artaria (1747–1808) in 1770 in Vienna, then the capital of the Habsburg Monarchy.

Sonata in a minor K. 310/300d (#8)
Instead, his Piano Sonata in A minor K. 310/300d (mostly referred to as #8 by the publishers), was written in 1778 and consists of three movements. It is interesting to note that Mozart has only written two sonatas in a minor key, the other being c minor K. 457. During this period, his mother had just died, and his father was blaming him for his wife's death. Mozart was torn apart because of this family tragedy, which could explain the sonata’s general, gloomier mood, especially in the first movement and the finale.

Fantasia in d minor K. 397/385g (#3)
Mozart’s Fantasia in d minorK.397/385g(#3) was writtenin 1782. Despite being left incomplete at Mozart's death, the piece remains nonetheless one of his more popular compositions. The original manuscript has not survived and the final measures of the piece have been lost. The ending as it currently exists is believed to have been written by August Eberhard Müller, (born on December 13, 1767, in Nordheim, died on December, 3, 1817, in Weimar) a German composer, organist and choir leader, and foremost one of the composer's admirers.
