W.A. Mozart: Sonata In C K.545

Composed just three years before Mozart's premature death, theSonata in C K.545 has become perhaps his most widely known composition for piano. The piece was probably written for one of Mozart's pupils, though it was not published during his lifetime. It has since come to symbolise in miniature the dominant elements of the Mozart style: clarity, melodic charm, and exquisite balance. These characteristics epitomise the music of the Viennese classical period of the late 18th century.The three-movement work opens with an elegant Allegro, followed by a tuneful Andante, and concludes with a light-hearted Rondo finale.This version of Mozart's popular work has been edited by Randall Faber.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Klaviersonate C-Dur KV. 545

Who doesn’t know Mozart’s “Sonata facile” of 1788? Yet those who practice this extremely popular piano sonata in C major will realize that it is by no means so “easy” to play. Its nickname does not come from Mozart, but from the title page of the first edition, which was printed only posthumously. No cause for premature celebration, however: in his own autograph catalogue of works, Mozart himself identified it as “a little piano sonata for beginners.”

W.A. Mozart: Piano Sonata No.15 In C Major K.545

The most celebrated of Mozart's sonatas, cherished for its relative simplicity. The original manuscript however is lost, and the work was published posthumously.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Piano Sonata No.16 In B Flat K.570

This work, Mozart's penultimate Piano Sonata, was composed in 1789, a barren year for composition by the composer's prolific standards. Like the 'facile' Piano Sonata K.545, it seems that this work was composed for didactic purposes.
