Multicart 2006 - Mozart Piano Sonata no 1

[RSS Bot]

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.
