On Thursday I shared a new recording of the first movement of Mozart’s D Major Sonata for piano 4-hands, and warned promised that the later movements would be forthcoming.

Can you keep a secret?

The second movement of that sonata is, I think, one of the most gorgeous piano movements ever written, so I couldn’t stop myself—I stayed up late that night (abandoning my poor husband in the process) to get it recorded and ready to post.  But I didn’t want to steal the thunder of the snow-melt Mozart, so I looked ahead to what will (at least according to Thursday’s forecast) be a rainy Monday morning, and scheduled this announcement to provide a bit of a bright spot that day.

If the forecast is wrong and/or you live in a place that isn’t rainy on Monday and/or you don’t listen to this post until after Monday… well, the best-laid plans….

Anyway.  I give you the second movement of the Mozart sonata, now included in the Classical Piano playlist of my Demo Recordings page.  Enjoy, my friends.  The effervescent “Allegro molto” finale will be coming soon!
