Lovely Mozart Sonata
on: August 04, 2015, 04:19:07 AM
Hey everyone, what do you think of Mozart's K 280? Here is Barenboim's rather good interpretation.



I think that it is perhaps a little under recognised and really quite charming. I would also say that given it's relatively modest difficulty it should be considered by more pianists at the intermediate level, it's quite good music for relatively little trouble. I plan to play it after I finish up on K 545 (yes, the cliched one, sue me)

The second movement is beautiful.
I made an account and hadn't used it in a year. Welcome back, kevon.

I love the Uchida recording of this sonata

Also yeah I think it's definitely a good next sonata after 545. Although it may stretch you a bit
Repertoire:

Beethoven Sonata Op. 10 No. 3
Chopin Etudes Op. 10 No.7, Op. 25 No. 2
Mendelssohn Rondo Capriccioso

I may look into the Uchida, thanks.

Also I'm not sure it will be that big of a stretch really, perhaps I now play simpler pieces but that's part of my philosophy on piano playing, not because I'm limited to that level and I looked at the score of k 280 and didn't see anything scary at all. But I'm sure the piece will offer it's fair share of challenges and learning experiences. They all do.
