] Mozart wrote only one sonata for two pianos, the Sonata ] in D Major K. 448/375a, of which Alfred Einstein was to ] write that "not a single shadow darkens its cheerful ] character. The artistry of balance and dialogue between ] the two pianos, the delicacy of the figuration, the sense ] of texture in blending and exploiting the registers of ] the instrument are all of such supreme mastery that the ] seemingly 'superficial' and enthralling composition ] becomes one of the most profound and mature Mozart ever ] wrote." I'm still in the process of importing my entire music library to iTunes. Along the way, I'm listening to a bunch of music that I own, but hadn't listened to in years. One of the pieces, this Mozart Sonata, immediately (pardon the pun) struck a chord with me, and I can't get enough of it right now. Listening to it on CD is fine and good, but I'm also trying to figure out if there might be some place within a day's drive where I could hear this live. Unfortunately, I can't figure out where I might track down that kind of information (a live performance of that particular sonata within a day's drive of St. Louis). Anyone have suggestions? |
