Mozart’s Sonata in D major, K. 381, composed in 1772 for piano duet, was likely intended for the harpsichord, a common instrument of the time. The sonata has a mix of rich, full chords and lighter, simpler melodies, creating a sound similar to an orchestra and highlighting Mozart’s early skillfulness in blending texture and form. It reflects the popularity of piano duets during Mozart's youth when he and his sister, Nannerl, performed across Europe.

Playing four-hand piano is always fun, yet challenging, as we have to navigate the keyboard with less space than usual! We hope you enjoy it :)
