Mozart Piano Sonata no 1

Although not really Mozart's first piano sonata, it is the earliest that survives. The opening Allegro is rather dispassionate exercise; although it's still a very good example of that gracefulness for its own sake which the period's produced in sometimes quite disgraceful overabundance. In contrast to this, the Andante is a sober, almost bittersweet moment of personal reflection.

 

Imagine. Mozart was only 19 years old when he produced this masterpiece in 1775. I just realized that Mozart is exactly 200 years older than me. To honour this I have just included the 1st movement of Piano Sonata no 1 in the Lynx Multicart. So now I will lean back, pour myself a glass of fine wine and fully enjoy the opening Allegro that is unstinting in its enthusiasm throughout, and certainly already hints at a master's self-confidence.

Are you referring to the G Major? Because I played that one back in high school. The whole friggin' thing, WITH repeats. My piano teacher was (inexplicably) in love with Mozart when she was in college, and tried to continue the love through me. I hated playing it. I'm forever jaded against it because of many boring practice sessions memorizing the Andante. The other two movements were fun, though. :evil:

Oh no. The G Major is the 5th sonata. I was thinking about the one in C Major that goes like this

Piano Sonata 1 Allegro. The 5th is pretty repetitive and lots of work :evil: . That would not probably even fit on the cart.

 

I just figured out that my blog settings require approval for comments to show up. Now that is changed so that you can comment anything. Sorry about it. This is my first blog-thingy and I am still learning.
