Description

DescriptionAt first glance, Mozart’s piano music may look simple. Yet for many pianists, the music’s greatest challenge lies in that seeming simplicity.  Take a minute to get the scoop!Take a listen: Mozart Piano Sonata No 16 C major K 545 Barenboim c/o YouTubeFun FactAnother challenge for the pianist is Mozart’s complete mastery of orchestration. Many of the piano sonatas have a symphonic sweep and soundworld in their opening and closing movements, while the slow movements are soprano arias with dramatic interludes. Such piano writing demands that the pianist harnesses his/her imagination to evoke these instruments and sounds within the scope of two staves and just two hands.About Steven, HostSteven is a Canadian composer & actor living in Toronto.
