W. A. Mozart: Piano Sonata No. 2 in F Major, K. 280: II. Adagio - Pianist in Paris

W. A. Mozart: Piano Sonata No. 2 in F Major, K. 280: II. Adagio - Pianist in Paris 1. Mozart wrote this sonata in Munich around 1774-1775, when he was about 18-19 years old. 2. The second movement is in F minor, which is striking because the sonata itself is in F major. This slow movement is especially notable because it is Mozart’s only minor-key slow movement in his piano sonatas. 3. Its expressive tension fits the broader Sturm und Drang mood of the era, with dramatic contrasts and a more turbulent emotional style. #pianomusic #mozart #mozartsonatas #mozartk280 #pianistinparis
