About
Mozart’s six earliest keyboard sonatas were written down by him in early 1775. After a first volume (also on Glossa) containing the first four of them, this album contains nos. 5 and 6 (KV 283 and KV 284), plus his next sonata (no. 7, KV 309) composed probably in 1777. Again recorded on an original Walter fortepiano built in Mozart’s lifetime, the kind of instrument he was very familiar with, this performance by Patrick Cohen brings together all his expertise with period pianos and the aesthetic context of the music.
