W.A Mozart

Sonata KV.283

Josefina Urraca, piano

Sarah K. Williams, video art

W.A.Mozart was about 17 years old when he traveled to Munich with his father for the premiere of his opera “La finta giardiniera”. He took 5 keyboard sonatas with him, and wrote a 6th one while being there, the so-called ‘Munich sonatas’, KV 279-284. This sonata is part of the earliest group of sonatas that Mozart published in the mid-1770s. The first movement is a sonata-allegro movement that is concise, with an economy of materials. The development section is a mere 18 measures long. The shorter length and moderate technical demands make it an ideal piece for early-advanced study and performance.

I - Allegro

II - Andante in C major
