The fourth volume of the piano sonatas begins with Sonata K. 332 in F major. Published in 1784, it displays all the exuberance and richness of modulations and harmonic chains, which is a characteristic of Mozart’s style. In the sequence, extremely expressive and delicate, the melodic themes of K. 333 in B Flat Major, demonstrate fluidity and perfect mastery of the musical form. Built from apparently simple and naive motifs, they acquire an imposing musical architecture through the genius of the composer.
Sonata K. 457 in C Minor, on the other hand, begins with a rhythmic, vigorous, and dramatic motif, a true prediction of the Beethovenian musical universe, due to its expressive density. K. 475 has a balance of extravasation and containment – the eloquent Fantasia – which reveals Mozart’s powers in the field of improvisation, displaying audacious harmonic freedom and rich atmospheres.
Restless and unique, Clara has built over an expressive and successful career a legacy of memorable recordings that reflect her permanent boldness. When performing the eighteen sonatas for piano by Mozart, the pianist covers her interpretations with vivid colors and aesthetic precision, without ever losing sight of balance, offering a majestic reading of the Mozartian universe.
