Mozart. Piano Sonata No. 8, 1st Mvt. Imagine a 22-year old Mozart who has just moved to Paris, having severed ties with his father, and is struggling to make a living on his own. On top of this, his mother is dying. During this period, he writes the darkest of his sonatas – the only one that, up until this point, he has written in a minor key. While we don't have anything in Mozart's own words about the relationship between the sonata and his personal life, we can speculate that it is an outlet for the anger, grief, desperation, sadness and love he feels towards his mother. Losing both of his parents, Mozart's music takes the first steps of its departure from the musical world of his childhood, with uncharacteristic uses of tonality, tempo, rhythm, dynamic emphases and counterpoint. Hope you enjoy this beautiful performance by M Kumar, and hope your Thursday will be an excellent one ♥

Tocando muito como sempre né meu filho como papai ensinou
They were just both written in the key of A minor. That’s why they sound similar 🙂

Can you combine the other movements into a video. With YouTube chapters please? That would be so rad. You have my favorite interpretation of this piece.
