Mozart Sonatas ...
on: July 31, 2003, 01:10:37 PM
Hello !  :D

Yesterday I realized that, even if I knew most of his operas, I barely knew NONE of Mozart's sonatas (just maybe the Turkish March) !  ::)
So, which one would you suggest me to listen, and, if possible, which sonata or movement would you suggest me to play (I'm an intermediate player - if you see what I mean) ?

Thank you for your answers, have a nice day, and... sorry for my english!  ;D

The one in B-flat, K333 is definitely my favorite. I've played it and it's not the easiest of Mozart's sonatas...

But it's very enjoyable: it sounds virtosic, if you know what I mean. Listen to Horowitz interpretation : unforgettable.

one of my favourite is the K331(last movement is the Turkish March) the first movement is very beautifull that i never get bored listen to it over and over again. it makes me feel like im in heaven.The k330 which im working on is also a good one. :)

I'm learning K309 (in C major) right now and I love it!  The third movement especially.  Also hvae a look at the one in D major K311 - both of these sonatas are Dip. ABRSM level pieces.

The F major sonata is certainly regarded as one of his best works. In my edition it is the first one in the book although I'm not sure it was the first written,

KV 545  C major-no.16-,  KV 284(205b) D major -no.6- and KV 332(300k)F major -no. 12-, in that order. Interesting thing: Mozart only wrote 2 minor sonatas: one when his mother died (A minor KV 310-300d no.9) and the other when the father died (C minor  no. 14 KV 457).These are difficult ones in the artistic way.
