Piano Sonata No. 12 (Mozart)
- Piano Sonata No. 12 (Mozart)
The "Piano Sonata in F major" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, K. 332/300k, was written at the same time as the "Piano Sonata, K. 330" and "Piano Sonata, K. 331" ("Alla turca"), Mozart numbering them as a set from one to three. They were once believed to have been written in the late 1770s in Paris, but it is now thought more likely that they date from 1783. Vienna has been suggested as a possible place of composition, with others believing the sonatas were written during a visit to Salzburg where Mozart introduced his wife, Constanze, to his father, Leopold. All three sonatas were published in Vienna in 1784.
Form
The sonata is in three movements and has a conventional structure:
#"Allegro" - in sonata form
#"Adagio" - a slow movement in the key of B flat major
#"Allegro assai" - a quick finale
A typical performance takes about 18 minutes.
The first movement of the sonata is hymn-like and melodious. The second "adagio" movement is also melodic and is "slow and sweet". The rapid finale is in 6/8 time and begins with a C on the right hand and an F chord on the left hand.
