Concert Pitch: Piano Sonata No. 12 in F major, K. 332/300k, Allegro–1st movement (1783)

Piano Sonata No. 12 in F major, K. 332/300k, Allegro–1st movement (1783)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)
By Sujanti Djuanda

"Oh, Papa, a piano sonata, but it isn't finished yet," Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart began composing the sonata in his five and but in adult life, his piano sonata spanned the years 1775-1789 including this one. All Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart sonatas composed for the fortepiano, which was the smaller and less powerful predecessor than the modern piano, and written to be performed both by the composer and his students.

This sonata was written at the same time with two others sonatas (K.330 and K.331) as a set, most probably during a visit to Salzburg where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart introduced his wife, Constanze Weber to his father, Leopold and sister, Nannerl. Then it was ordered by Viennese publisher, Artaria and published in Vienna (1784). It received its Carnegie Hall premiere on March 16, 1935, with Artur Schnabel as performer.

The Allegro is longer than usual and seemed like a succession of unrelated ideas but appearing as a unifying thread throughout. The flowing melodious theme as the opening with a short imitation then changed to a cheerful march. Suddenly turn to a stormy minor-key with dissonances and off-beat accents then back to the major-key with a new 'quite sunny' material. The development is also given a new idea, hymn-like as the opening and mainly passages in thirds. The recapitulation is almost totally same with the exposition, only in F major.

A Review of Musicnotes - Digital Sheet Music Dealer

Are you a musician? Can you find the sheet music you want? If you are anything like me, then the answer is no. Although the town I live in isn't that small, there still isn't a large selection of stores when it comes to music. There is only one small music store that I go to (and only on rare occasions) when I need something immediately, like guitar strings for example. When I want to buy sheet music though, that little shop isn't much help. There is only a small selection of sheet music for the most popular genres and most popular instruments. If you want to play Beethoven piano arrangements then you are fine, but if you want something else then you are out of luck. I couldn't find what I wanted in my area, so shopping online was my only alternative. After trying different online sheet music dealers I finally came across one that I really liked-Musicnotes. This website offered instant digital sheet music and I thought it sounded cool, but wasn't sure
