Reflections by Joseph-Maurice WEDER for Ars

from Luxe Beat Featured Articles Hosted by Luxe Beat

In 2005, ARS recorded Swiss pianist Joseph-Maurice Weder for an album featuring three sonatas by three composers of different genres, eras, and styles.The first sonata on this album is Mozart's No. 10, KV 330. Here, the pianist reveals the ghosts—the silences—that the composer knows how to imbue his music with, especially during the initial Allegro moderato. He plays this sonata in the spirit of Mozart: fresh and light, like a breeze blowing over a volcano. He conveys this “depth through excess of lightness,” to borrow Nietzsche's words, which is the charm of Mozart. Perhaps one could criticize him for a heaviness at the end of phrases and a weight in his fingering, but this drawback in no way detracts from his rendering of Mozart's character, which is both childlike and serious.
