Piano Sonata No. 7 (Mozart)

Piano Sonata No. 7 (Mozart)

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 7 in C major, K 309 (284b) (1777) is a sonata in three movements:

#"Allegro con spirito"
#"Andante un poco adagio"
#"Rondo (allegretto grazioso)"

A typical performance takes about 16 minutes.

The work was composed during a journey to Mannheim and Paris in 1777-78. The sonata was complete in a few days in early November 1777. The andante movement is a 'portrait' of Rose Cannabich (his pupil), the 15-year-old daughter of the Mannheim Kapellmeister Christian Cannabich. Mozart described it as a sort of a portrait of "a very beautiful well-behaved girl, very sensible and demure for her age, serious, speaking little but, when she does, with grace and friendliness". Mozart's father Leopold called it "strange".
