The Piano Sonatas

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Maria João Pires

The Piano Sonatas are a collection of solo keyboard sonatas by Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed between 1764 and 1789. They exemplify Classical-era clarity and balance, using sonata-allegro structures, elegant melodic writing and advancing keyboard technique that trace Mozart's development from child prodigy to mature composer and are central to the keyboard repertoire and to the evolution of the sonata form.
