Mozart and his family

Have you been wait­ing anx­ious­ly for the other—er, third—shoe to drop?  Rejoice!  The third and final move­ment of the Mozart 4‑hands piano sonata I’ve been seri­al­ly shar­ing is here at last!

I’m still mulling over an addi­tion­al piece to include in the “Piano Cov­ers” sec­tion of my Demo Record­ings page (a Chopin, a Mozart, and…?), but in the mean­time I’m get­ting antsy to get some solo vocal work up there.

Start­ing tomor­row I have a week of “vaca­tion-vaca­tion” (mean­ing that in addi­tion to being free from church respon­si­bil­i­ties for an entire 7 days I’ve also can­celled pri­vate stu­dents and sched­uled rehearsals), and I’m look­ing for­ward to hav­ing sev­er­al unstruc­tured days of time to play around with record­ings.  (Well, most­ly I’m look­ing for­ward to about three sol­id days of non-stop nap­ping, but that’s a less inter­est­ing blog post.)

But any­hoo.  In the mean­time, here’s the “Alle­gro molto” finale to Mozart’s 4‑hands Piano Sonata in D (K. 381).  Enjoy!

Sonata 4‑Hands (K. 381) movt. 3: Allegro molto

by Wolf­gang Amadeus Mozart
