Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart : Sonata in D Major, K. 448

For Two Pianos, Four Hands

Description:
Composed in 1781, Mozart’s Sonata in D Major, K. 448 stands as one of the finest works ever written for two pianos, four hands. This magnificent sonata was written for performance by Mozart himself and Josephine von Aurnhammer, one of his most talented pupils. The work features three movements: an exuberant and brilliant Allegro con spirito, a lyrical and elegant Andante, and a sparkling Molto allegro finale. The first and third movements are vibrant and virtuosic, while the middle movement provides a gentle, lyrical contrast. This Alfred Masterwork Edition, edited by Maurice Hinson and Allison Nelson, includes editorial fingering and insightful performance suggestions. Selected for the Federation Festivals 2024–2028 list, this edition is ideal for advanced pianists and teachers seeking an authentic yet practical version for study and performance.

Performance Tips:

Mozart’s balance of grace and brilliance requires a refined touch and precise ensemble coordination. Both pianists should focus on clarity of articulation, light pedaling, and transparent phrasing. The dialogue between the two pianos should feel conversational, maintaining dynamic balance throughout. The lyrical second movement invites expressive cantabile tone, while the outer movements call for crisp rhythmic precision and classical brilliance.

About the Composer:

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791) was one of the most prolific and influential composers of the Classical era. A child prodigy from Salzburg, he composed over 600 works across all genres, including symphonies, concertos, chamber music, operas, and sacred works. His music is celebrated for its melodic beauty, structural perfection, and emotional depth. The Sonata in D Major, K. 448 is an outstanding example of his mastery in chamber music for keyboard.
