Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Part 1: Works for Keyboard

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! Today, we are going to continue with another composer for 3 episodes while we explore their output and how they changed the classical era as we knew it at that time. This composer is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart! Now, when we think of Mozart, we often think of the operas, the symphonies, the concertos—but at the center of his musical life was the keyboard. From childhood prodigy to a mature composer shaping the piano repertoire, Mozart’s relationship with the keyboard tells us much about his artistry and about the instrument’s rise in the late 18th century.Music mentioned in this episode:Sonata in A major, K. 331: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ1mj9IaczQSonata in C major, K. 545: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vDxlnJVvW8Piano Concerto in D minor, K. 466: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yM8CFR01KwQ&t=1056sPiano Concerto in C major, K. 467: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgY0QcUjtYE
