Mozart k333

[pianowelsh]

What do you lot think about k333 as a sonata  - difficult one to programme???
Which are your favourite Mozart sonatas? And what about his variation sets? what do you all make of his Duport and other sets?

Mozart K284 takes the cake for the hardest sonata (I'm actually working on that right now), but 333 is a fun one as well.

I enjoy his F major sonata (can't think of the catalogue number off of the top of my head), as well as 333 and 284

heh...

I remember butchering k333 in exam.  Mozart is never easy.  The cadenza in the third movement is fun to play. 

Duport Variations: I remember enjoying the broken octaves variation.    Try playing Ah! vous dirai-je maman and Duport one after the other, it' s quite funny!  So many differences!

I would have to disagree on K 284 being the hardest. But I agree it is one of the hard ones. It requires endurance and solid finger technique especially since after a demanding first movement and not that easy second one the last movement, the variations still requires flowing fingers to play the elaborate ornementation. K  576 I think is harder. I played K 284 last year for my jury. I initially chose it because I liked the last movement. One of the recently published book on Mozart sonatas for the performer rates K 576 as probably the hardest.
