Mozart Piano Sonata in F Major K280 (189e)

The Six Sonatas K. 279-284 were probably written around the beginning of 1775. Mozart refers to them in letters that he sent to his father from his trip to Paris (1777-1779). In these letters he often refers to them as the “difficult sonatas” – probably alluding to the special interpretative demands. He thus provided these works with rich dynamic and articulative markings, advising a reserved tempo for their performance. The Sonata K. 280, which has a special place amongst the early sonatas due to ist melancholy middle movement in F minor, is now also available as a practical and reasonable single edition, which has been taken from our edition of the complete Mozart sonatas.
