Wolfgang A. Mozart Piano Sonatas

Classical Music / Piano Sonatas
 

Over his short life, Mozart composed 18 numbered piano sonatas, sonatas for four hands, 36 violin sonatas, and 17 Church Sonatas, as well as trio sonatas for chamber instruments.

Mozart’s piano sonatas date from 1773 until 1788, with his style maturing at a truly remarkable rate. The earliest sonatas are very much in the galant style of W.F and CPE Bach, and in places Scarlatti’s influence can be detected. The late sonatas, such as K457, are full of surprises, with 'Papa' Haydn's influence to the fore. The years from 1773 to the late 80s saw the rapid development of the piano from a novelty and experimental instrument, to the stage where its power and range provided composers with a palate of colours and expression. Mozart exploited the new instruments to maximum effect in his concertos and his sonatas.
