Piano Sonata No. 2 (Mozart)
The Sonata No. 2 in F Major. KV 280 (189e) is a Klaviersonate of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart with three sets. It was composed during the trip to Munich for the production of the opera La finta giardiniera between late 1774 and March of the next year when Mozart was 18 years old, and is the second of a cycle of six sonatas of increasing difficulty that are based on this Trip.
The average performance is 15 minutes.
sentences
The remarkable thing about this sonata are the extreme contrasts in tempo and affect of the individual movements and that all three movements are in three-bar.
1st movement: Allegro assai
The first movement is in 3/4 time and contains allegro assai cantability and Italian elements despite the tempo requirement . It begins with a fanfare-like main theme, then leads on to the second theme with a harmonic, surprisingly bold triplet passage for Mozart's standards with a clear fifth case sequence in bars 18 to 22, which accelerates the movement to staggered sixteenth-note garlands. After just 26 cycles comprehensive implementation , the set technically enhanced follows Reprise .
2nd movement: Adagio
The second movement is composed as an expressive adagio in the key of F minor in 6/8 time. The theme is a siciliano , a baroque dance form, and is reminiscent of the middle movement of Haydn's F major sonata Hob. XVI / 23. The plaintive outer parts frame a central part with chromatic sharpness.
The Estonian composer Arvo Pärt transcribed this movement in 1992 for a work for violin, cello and piano.
3rd movement: Presto
The third movement corresponds formally to the schema of the main sonata form and is again written in F major. It is in 3/8 time and looks like a lively, extremely brilliant sweep.
