ABRSM 2021-2022 Grade 6, A:2. Allegro ~ W. A. Mozart. Piano exam piece
Third movement from Sonata in E flat, K. 282
The Sonata in E flat, K. 282, is the forth of a set of six piano sonatas that the 19 year old Mozart composed while staying in Munich in early 1775. They are his earliest surviving piano sonatas. In 1777 he wrote to his father Leopold from Augsburg: ‘Here and at Munich I have played all my six sonatas [in public] by heart several times.’
Denis Mathews (co-editor of the ABRSM edition) describes this movement as ‘irresistably lively and brilliant’. It is a sonata-form structure, in which the main theme (bars 1-8) consist of pairs of repeated notes echoed by the left hand. A dotted-rhythm idea (bars 9-15) acts as a transition to the dominant-key theme (bars 16-39), with its piano and forte phrases in alternation, each varied. The development (bars 40-61) is entirely devoted to the main theme, whose right- and left-hand parts are interchanged at bars 48-55. The movement ends with a lightly varied reprise of the exposition (bars 62-102; cf. 1-39).
The young Mozart used a short stroke or wedge sign to indicate normal staccato, an accent, or a combination of the two. Here it appears to mean just staccato.
