Piano Sonata No. 9 (Mozart)
The Sonata No. 8 in D major, K. 311 ( 284c ) is a piano sonata by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. He dedicated the work composed in late summer 1777 the daughters of the privy councilor Freysinger, a former fellow student of his father Leopold Augsburg.
The composition comprises the three sets Allegro con spirito Andantino con espressione and Rondo Allegro. In addition to the Piano Sonata in C major, K. 309 ( 248b ) it is one of the Mannheim sonatas that arose in the course of a longer, eventually leading to Paris tour in Mannheim.
In their playful virtuosity, some orchestral passages gestures of Mannheim symphonies are recognizable.
Construction
As in other sonatas, first, the question arises which of the many ideas the actual theme of this sonata. Comparable to the Sonata K. 284, the sentence begins with a strong D major chord, which would be suitable as a final sound. After a lively, from sixteenth-note runs and broken chords existing reconciliation, which is also added to an accompaniment (bars 10-16 ), the charming by its owning lyrical second theme of the second subject in the dominant key of A major, begins at measure 17, the two-time Motivwiderholung (bars 18 and 22 ) results in the typical Mozart blackout shortly after B minor, to make 28 new motifs occur after a virtuosic semiquaver passage from bar.
Original is the pastoral, two-bar circuit, which at the beginning of the implementation wins thematic quality, surprisingly. In orchestral manner Mozart performs this secondary motif as it were by verschiende instrument voices.
With shortened phrases, narrowness and played by the right hand tremolo sixteenths (bars 48 -51 ) affects the performance very concert. As in many of his sonatas he worked up in her not the first theme of the exposition, but mainly part- motives.
The recapitulation begins at bar 79 with the theme of the second subject in the Hautptonart D major. The short, beginning with clock 105 coda leads to a surprising harmonic softening after B Minor, after the pastoral turn initiates the harmonious conclusion.
The slow, standing in 2/4-cycle middle movement in G major is a lyrical, rondo -like Andante, whose first subject receives a floating effect by the fifth D in the tenor, an effect that Mozart for the song-like theme of the first movement of his known A major Sonata picks up again.
With its exuberant Spiefreudigkeit the mind an Gigue Rondo - Finale in 6/8-measure the first sentence is linked to. The virtuoso brilliant concert piece surprised by an inserted cadence.
Background
In October, Mozart went, accompanied by his ailing mother, on a longer tour that would take him to Paris. His route went first to Munich, where he met Ignatius of Beecke, which he played for the 280 and 282 sonatas K. and then Augsburg to Mannheim. The sonata was taken shortly before his onward journey to Paris, where he ( with the misleading KV- numbering 310) composed the dark A Minor Sonata and was confronted with tragedies such as the death of his mother Anna Maria Mozart.
