Description
This D major sonata, thought to have been written before Mozart's trip to Paris, is marked by bright, witty thematic writing. The middle movement offers gentle lyricism, while the finale delivers a steady stream of technical passages. At around fifteen minutes with just over 8,300 notes, it requires clear articulation and a consistently light, steady tempo.
Piano sonatas representative of the Classical and Romantic eras, including Beethoven's early works — substantial multi-movement pieces throughout.
