6 ABOUT THE MUSIC

For Mozart and his contemporaries the piano sonata was still very much a genre cultivated for private performance; Mozart’s were composed for soirées in aristocratic or bourgeois salons (for himself to play, or published so that others could) and as material for students (his, or, again, through publication for others). The instrument for which Mozart wrote, the fortepiano, was not yet capable of the heroic rhetorical force that Beethoven would harness in the early 19th century (scholar John Irving goes so far as to say the modern piano ‘falsifies Mozart’s sound-world to a certain extent’, but, as we hear tonight, each have their own musical personalities). Much of the music written for the Mozart, 1782 fortepiano in Mozart’s time could be termed ‘galant’, stressing lightness, lyricism and wit. In contrast to this essentially Italianate manner, composers such as Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach developed what came to be known as the Empfindsamer Stil – the ‘most sensitive’ or ‘expressive’ style – which manifested itself in works of highly chromatic minor-key harmony, full of sudden changes of mood and texture. In both ‘public’ works – concerto and symphony – and the private realm for the sonata, composers like Haydn and Mozart brought these complementary musical styles in a dramatic and fruitful tension. The B-flat major sonata, K.570, is Mozart’s penultimate, so is naturally a work of great maturity. It seems to have been composed in 1789, just before Mozart made his famous trip to Berlin (where he may or may not have met the Prussian King, who may or may not have commissioned works such as the ‘Prussian’ Quartets). Its first movement begins with a theme of disarming simplicity, its unharmonised B-flat major arpeggio answered by phrases that culminate in florid ornamentation. Its second subject, announced by an equally simple motif of repeated notes, is soon overtaken by Mozart’s highly affective chromatic harmony, and repeatedly interrupted by stern pairs of chords. Such a pair wrench the music into a distant key for the development section, which is full of elegant hand-swapping two-part counterpoint. Richard Wigmore has said that the slow movement is ‘Masonic’ in tone (it certainly is in Mozart’s Masonic key of E flat), its dignified theme forming the basis of a rondo with an inexhaustibly elaborate succession of eight- or four-bar strains that explore minor-key regions in certain sections. The final movement is also a rondo, that is a form with repeated statements of main material separated by contrasting episodes, though here Mozart bends the ‘rules’ occasionally taking the main material as read, and pressing on. Like many Mozart finales, the main material has the simple, regular cut of Viennese popular music.

7 8 Part of the young Mozart’s frustration with his home town of Salzburg was the limited opportunity to write in certain genres – as Maynard Solomon has said, Salzburg, dominated by the court of the Prince-Archbishop was ‘less receptive to chamber music for strings or to solo piano music’. Mozart’s early piano sonatas, dating from 1773 or 1774, were likely written for performance elsewhere: Solomon suggests a trip to Vienna, while Stanley Sadie thinks Munich. The Sonata in E flat, K.282, is one of a set of six that Mozart tried to sell to the publisher, Breitkopf, as being in the manner of CPE Bach, featuring ‘varied reprises’ or recapitulations of the main themes of their first movements. That is not in fact the case, but K.282 is fascinating in that, like a Baroque ‘church sonata’ it begins with a slow movement. Its theme is ceremonious at first, with dotted rhythm and rising fourth like a quiet trumpet call, but the music soon becomes highly ornamented and chromatic, and makes much of sudden, carefully-indicated contrasts between soft and loud very much in the manner of CPE Bach. The central movement is a pair of minuets (the first reprised after the second) of wildly different character. The first is terse in character, isolated motifs articulated by moments of silence or shifts of volume, and featuring a loud progression of chromatic chords. The second is more liquid, with repeated accompanying figures, and a slightly disorienting pull between triplet and duplet figures. The finale is a simple sonata- allegro built on the opening theme with its joyful octave leap, and driving short-short-short-long motif. Rondos were a favourite for finales in Mozart’s sonatas, and indeed his concertos, but the A minor Rondo, K.511, is an unusual example of a stand-alone piece. It is also notable that, where rondos frequently contrast a generally extrovert major-key ‘A section’ with more unstable material in the episode, here the main thematic

Mozart family, 1780-81, by Della Croce 9 material is highly emotive: its minor mode is underlined by the use of ornaments on strong beats, and a heavily chromatic melody and harmony. The piece was one of several works, including two string quintets, and hits like Eine kleine Nachtmusik, that Mozart composed in mid-1787 (we don’t know for whom) before focusing on his opera Don Giovanni. For a long time the Piano Sonata in B flat, K.333, was thought to have been composed in 1778 for Mozart’s extended, and ultimately rather fruitless, sojourn in Paris. It is now thought likely that it was written for the visit to Linz that also saw Mozart’s hastily composed C major symphony, K.425 in 1783. It is an enigmatic work – Irving notes that the autograph manuscript had no tempo markings nor, in the first movement, dynamics. That movement has one of the most quintessentially Mozartean moods, graceful and elegant. The slow movement is an example of what Solomon calls Mozart’s ‘adagio/andante archetype’, where the opening material gives way to ‘pungent chromaticisms’ before ‘a lavishly ornamented recapitulation that emphasises the reaching of a transformed and heightened state rather than a simple return to an antecedent condition’, the varied reprise. The finale is another example of the popular-style rondo, with added amusement provided by a chirping repeated-note figure. The movement’s chief surprise, though, is its concerto-style cadenza towards the close. GORDON KERRY © 2019
