Description:
The ANACROUSE collection offers novice and experienced pianists alike a wide choice of classical works, from the Renaissance to the modern era.
We have set ourselves the goal of offering both "must-haves" from the classical repertoire and pieces by sometimes forgotten composers, all of undeniable pedagogical value. Each piece, sold individually, has been the subject of careful editorial work, both in terms of the musical text and its engraving, in order to guarantee musicians the conditions essential to the pleasures derived from frequent trade in these works.
The scores are offered in traditional book form (paper sheets), and also available by download.
The Sonata was composed between spring and summer 1778 during Mozart's second Parisian sojourn, and the "French" spirit blows through these pages. The third and final movement, famous as the "Marche turque" (Turkish March), irresistibly evokes the "turqueries" in vogue throughout Western Europe, from Molière's "Bourgeois gentilhomme" to Mozart's opera bouffe L'Enlèvement au Sérail (The Abduction from the Seraglio). Conventional in form, with alternating minor/major refrains and verses, and in writing, its arpeggios and appogiaturas evoking some "Turkish" musical instrument, this movement brilliantly concludes the sonata, and its irresistible something will continue to seduce for a long time to come.
