Sonata for violin & piano No. 21 in E minor, K. 304 (K. 300c) 1778
1. Allegro (0:00)
2. Tempo di Menuetto (6:50)
Henryk Szeryng, violin and Ingrid Haebler, piano
Description by Brian Robins [-]
The fourth of seven sonatas for piano and violin composed by Mozart in Mannheim and Paris during 1778, the E minor Sonata is the only one in a minor key. Recent paper dating has shown that while the opening Allegro was composed in Mannheim, the following Tempo di Menuetto was composed in Paris, where Mozart and his mother finally arrived on March 23. Like all but the last of its companions, K. 304 has only two movements, but it departs from the distinctly domestic feel of the first three works in finding a new profundity of dramatic expression fully in keeping with its minor mode. In this it bears a strong resemblance to another minor-key work composed in Paris at much the same time -- the Piano Sonata in A minor, K. 310.
It may not be too fanciful to see in both works some reflection of the emotional upheaval Mozart must have experienced on leaving Aloysia Weber, the first love of his youthful life, behind in Mannheim. It was an event he had striven to delay as long as possible, much to the annoyance of his father Leopold back at home in Salzburg. Mozart's attempts to give greater equality to the violin in a genre traditionally dominated by the keyboard (not for nothing are all Mozart's sonatas designated as being for piano and violin, rather than the reverse) here takes a further step forward in the opening theme of the Allegro, which is dramatically announced complete by both instruments in unison, after which it is taken up not by the piano, but the violin. The Tempo di Menuetto movement that follows is less intense and includes a section in the major. The six sonatas K. 301 through K. 306 were published in Paris later in 1778 as Opus 1, Nos. 1-6, with the title page bearing a dedication to Maria Elisabeth, Electress of the Palatinate. For this reason they are frequently known as the "Palatine Sonatas."

Out of 626 musical compositions, this is the only one in E minor. And, indeed, did Mozart pour everything he possessed into this one E minor beauty.
Mozart doesn't often use minor, but when he does... it always sounds so moving. This piece inspired me to start composing violin + piano sonata's myself, and I tried to use it as an example for my first one.
His late mother inspired this beauty
Yeah major Mozart is good but minor Mozart is on a whole other level
Vuyo Mbambisa I think that was sonata for piano in a minor.
@@danal81 Actually it's for both sonatas K. 304 (300c) and K. 310 (300d), they were composed roughly at the same time, in 1778 when Mozart was in Paris, soon after his mother's death.
Shirou97 yes, you are right.
It’s both works.
Tempo di Menuetto: 06:50
bellisima
La Caverna Digital Sin duda.
I think this is the only Mozart work in the key of E minor. It's distinctly him, yes, but also has a deeply melancholy tone that sets it apart from his other piano-violin sonatas, and much of his overall output.
Right, in this time Mozart’s mother passed away so he was sad and wrote this Sonata in scale E minor.
Listen to his violín sonata 27
He did write another violin sonata in e minor
But he uses the key in a lot of other works in small sections ( particularly works in G major or E major)
@@DavitMinasyan-rn3fv I think that the key changes throughout the piece, it's not static. So yes, a piece in a major key can have parts in minor keys.
That major section in the second movement is to die for.

8:46 that harmony... ...Just WOW! it is indescribable BEAUTIFUL!!!
Un istante di straordinaria commozione.
@@calmocaos Sono d'accordo
it's so nice
It’s a pretty basic harmonic progression though
@@G.P.Telemann4261 Just because it is a basic harmonic progression dosen't mean that it's not beatiful.
There is so much feeling in that second movement I can't explain it!! Go, Mozart!
B
His mother died in those days...
really? that was really impressed to me.
Carlos rodriguez acosta maybe that his grieving made him to put such a sad touch
I think more like a sad love story where some obstacle kept the two apart.
Beautiful sonata, thank you Wolgang wherever you are! 🥰
Idk why but 6:51 puts me in my feels😤🔥
Can see sadness of Mozart when his mother died.
@@DanielFahimi so what they do? Dont take me offensive, just a guy who is wondering :D
I would love that Mozart had done a violin concerto in minor
It would have been a sublime and wonderful work
But sadly it didn't happen :(
Well there's the sublime 2nd movement of the Sinfonia Concertante...
Yes and even then there is always the chamber music (I'm especially fond of K.406 and his D minor Quartet K.421 and G minor quintet K.516) and K.364 (his symphonia concertante for Violin and Viola in E-flat major but there is a middle movement in C minor)
He was 22. It's mind-boggling.
It would be more mind-boggling if someone from this day and age was able to produce this type of music. Given the time and lack of distractions it would have been an easier time to focus on anything that you put your mind to in those times. Paying attention to your education and working towards your craft without a minutia of the interference there is today. It's not surprising if he's already been working on his craft for 10 plus years 22. He would probably have considered himself an old man by then.
@@jackknife4547 It's still mind-boggling.
❤❤う❤
I know! I was so shocked but also very impressed!!😄
He was the voice of god his age is irrelevant
Mozarts Musik ist unsterblich. ..Licht und Hoffnung für 2021
I listen to this piece whenever I do math, and surprisingly it really help me out of boredom and calm my mind a little when I can't find the solotion. Although initially it's hard for me to concentrate because I kept being drawn to its beautiful melody
same, saw this comment while i was doing physics
I'm also doing physics to this❤️ Mozart has always been my favorite study music
Maths and music go hand in hand..
Mai Huong Nguyen I understand. If you want another version (the score is the original. This score has some subtle changes) I recommend perlman’s recording also
not if it distracts u. trust me i know what u mean. Mozart is brain music is what nonsense-no-knowing-normies say, kinda like “math and music go hand in hand”
This is one of my exam pieces, and I’ve come to really enjoy this piece, especially after hearing a performance of it. Every note feels so graceful and harmonious, unlike my performance where I screw up the tone -_-
I think this sonata is also very underrated, it well translates the emotion Mozart felt at that time, when his mother passed away. And I don’t know if it’s just me, but the spiccato in this piece is hard to pull off without hitting other strings.
And even though most of Mozart’s pieces aren’t minor, it still feels like he composed it. Every single note is packed full of tone and emotion, which I’m trying my best to capture in my playing.
U are a very horrible piano player
@@harrisonjoncena7353 what
Hey, how’s the exam go?
I’m also doing this piece for my exam , it’s literally tomorrow peeps!
@@halfandhalfbastard8033 oh the exam went well !! sorry i didnt see this earlier ^^ doing my grade 8 exam in a couple of months
God I forgot I played this. I just love the way Mozart solves the drama 9:09. It just sounds like you could actually feel what "hope" means in 4 pop chords
@@ignacioclerici5341 Mozart is sometimes in the "pop mood" of classical music. While I actually mean is both so popular and easy to understand for most people I never said it is not profound nor sacred. I litterally said Mozart is so deep he takes 4 easy chords and let you feel "hope" on them.
@@ignacioclerici5341 Mozart is the opposite of vulgar? Funny you say that because he was notoriously vulgar. Mozart is the one composer who you can’t say isn’t vulgar.
@@ignacioclerici5341 Okay, explain to me how pop music is vulgar.
@@ignacioclerici5341 No, explain to me how pop music is vulgar but Mozart isn’t.
@@ignacioclerici5341 So you clearly don’t get what I was saying. I was talking about vulgar lyrics. In Mozart’s music.
I played this with my violon and I fell in love with this moment at 5:53
I'm crying...this sonata... Is...so much!
@@DanielFahimi Yeah baby yoda also play violin
That second movement is so moving. It’s so different to what I expect. Where do those triplets come from in the return of the A section. It’s more romantic than classical. And yet in some ways it’s almost baroque.
This sonata and the double concerto for violin and viola is strangely dramatic and sad for being Mozart. As it is strangely dramatic and sad that I am getting so old I now like Mozart so much ❤️
The Sinfonia Concertante for Violin and Viola was written when Mozart lost his mother. I guess getting older and accumulating more life experiences make us love Mozart even more 😬♥
Q
Personally, I'm a violin player and I like Mozart minor works much more than his major work. But his violin concertos are all in major, they are good but this E minor is my favorite violin piece from him. It looks that he mainly focused on major key writing
ua-cam.com/video/Coy5jddKKAk/v-deo.html
Listen to This ✨❤️
Yes, he mainly focused on major keys, but the key is not static, I think that there are transitions. So, in many pieces of Mozart written in major keys I think you can find parts in minor keys.
Yes and even then there is always the chamber music (I'm especially fond of K.406 and his D minor Quartet K.421 and G minor quintet K.516) and K.364 (his symphonia concertante for Violin and Viola in E-flat major but there is a middle movement in C minor)
@@_Athanos In the symphony 26 the Andante is also in C minor, despite the symphony is in E flat major.
@@ClassicalMusicAndSoundtracks
Well there are a lot of Mozart pieces that have been written in minor keys, but a violin player complaining of there being too few minor key works from Mozart, given that there are many of them, made me assume that they were talking about minor pieces, by Mozart, written for the violin as a central instrument. I might be wrong and your suggestion is relevant nonetheless but I'm pretty positive that it isn't what they were looking for.
I adore this Sonata, esp. the 2nd movt. Just wanted to thank you Bartje for taking the time to post the score along with the performance. It really helps
dear god the second movement makes me cry
9:09 I love this sonata so much :-D
goosebumps!
I so here hints of Schubert in this passage
:-D
Not a huge Mozart but I have to admit this work is quite profound. A true "tear jerker."
wow this work is really unusual from Mozart!
Because he was in unusually sad situation. He lost his mother in Paris, where also he completed this sonata.
Apetecan7 臨床研究の道臨床研究の道
unusual? why?
kwastormayt because of the dark/simple effect it has
listen more pieces of him.. he has many dark effect compositions like k 341 or k 396
01:50 reminds me of Beethoven 5 finale
Also, the iv-VII-III-VI-ii°-V-i progression sounds super cute
More like Beethoven Concerto 3 first movement
@@tarikeld11 Cadenza part right?
Meine Kinder spielten das in ihrer Jugend, sie die Geige und er Klavier. Noch heute begleitet mich das Stück. Danke Mozart!
9:10 This part is very beautiful 🥰🥰🥰
Henryk Szeryng is simply divine for Mozart
Wunderschöne und lyrische Interpretation dieser kompakten und perfekt komponierten Sonate im gut phrasierten Tempo mit seidigem Ton der Violine und klarem Klang des Klaviers. Der intime und perfekt entsprechende Dialog zwischen den beiden Virtuosen ist wahrlich ergreifend. Bestimmt eine des zehn besten Aufführung dieses Meisterwerks im 20. Jahrhundert!
Merveilleux accord du violon et du piano : aucun de deux ne couvre l'autre. C'est admirable...Il est vrai que Mozart s'est exprimé dans cette sonate avvc une sensibilité et un pathétique rares ; l'élan est maîtrisé, dominé: un chef d'œuvre!
the beauty and emotion is beyond words
I know right?!? When I try to perform this, I can’t even capture all the emotion inside of each note, it’s just too beautiful ;)
I am playing this for my class at UCLA in Mozart. It is a lovely piece
Judith Benson good luck
In the last bars (11:22-44) I hear his "lacrimosa" knocking on my Ear-door.
don't know how there could be 72 people who do not like this music
Salieri fans, no doubt.
Chill, such is life so just enjoy!
Una maravilla, la obra y su ejecución por estos dos grandes instrumentistas.- Diana.
bayılıyorum bu esere ruhumu daima dinlendiriyor.
Beautiful ! Thank you !
1778, His mom passed away and unemployed in Paris. Something the description didn't mention. Just my personal interpretation the major keys throughout was his thoughts of his mom's love for him.
There is some confusion on the dates. According to HC Robbins Landon the first movement of the Sonata was composed in Mannheim early 1778 and the 2nd movement, the Tempo di Menuetto March/April in Paris thus before his mother passed away on July 3rd. Wikipedia has the wrong dates for this Sonata.
Simply wonderful!!!
Unsurpassed. Both are extraordinary musicians that honour Mozart's genius. And this is one of his most beautiful violin sonatas.
Wonderful performance.
I've been listening to and playing almost exclusively baroque music for the last two or three years... it's amazing how foreign, even exotic, this sounds to me now. I hadn't realised until now how far I have internalised the baroque sense of music.
For many years, I listened to baroque music. You know, Vivaldi, Bach, Scarlatti, Haendel etc. My baroque mentors had induced me to believe there was nothing else after Bach...until I discovered Mozart. The real one, the "hidden" gems. I still like baroque but I'm in love with Mozart. What a balance, what an unattainable feat to present melancoly, devastation, and grief in the most beautiful and gracious manner.
Now, this. This I consider as an interesting, intelligent and well written comment.
Beautiful ! Thank you so much :)
This is my favorite Mozart violin sonata.
So much sadness in the second movement 😢😍
It's called melancholy
At 1:50 there's the theme of the first movement from the first violin sonata by Schubert.
actually the theme of the Schubert is most likely taken from this as Mozart came much before Schubert and influenced him.
8:24 sounds like mendelsshon rondo capriciosso
I really thought I wouldn't like Mozart but at the 2nd movement my heart melted away. Now I will play it on my own. Hell yes I love music. :D
How do you know the flavour if you don't taste?
This movement worked on me the exact same way. I recommend it people who don't think they'll like Mozart.
Amazing.My favorite music.
Thank you for posting
Música maravilhosa e excelentes intérpretes!
I’m using this for grade 6 violin practice
Exquisite rendition!
So nice
Unfortunately Mozarts violin sonatas from his visit to Mannheim 1777/8 are quite short - two movements only. I myself performed one of them - the one in E flat major - together with a good violin player some years ago. Also that one has two movements only. But Mozart wrote two full-scale pianos sonatas at the same time in Mannheim. Not to forget: Mannheim was a great music centre at the time, which had created an own new orchestra sound, the "Mannheim School", two decades earlier. Mannheim was a bee hive of extraordinary musicians, many of them composers of high rank. The Mannheim orchestra was later called an "Army of Generals". 1778 they moved from Mannheim to Munich, since their boss, the Principal Elector from Pfalz, Karl Theodor, inherited Bavaria from his close relative, the Principal Elector from Bavaria, both belonging to the same house of Wittelsbach. Therefore, Mozart wrote his Idomeneo for a performance in Munich two years later, 1780. He wanted to seek an employment.
Genial obra, desde los 14 años que empecé q escucharla en aquellos platos gigantes de vinilo 33 rpm de entonces empecé a ver en el genio de Salzburgo la encarnación de genialidad tan impecable como perfecta, sinceramente sus enlaces son limpios hasta ña saciedad, empieza la obra con un tono tenebroso, la constancia de los 6 acordes, el "juguetismo" Mozartiano de las notas musicales que bailan como un tentetieso, es de destacar del 10.04 al 10.10 esa genialísima y tipiquísima encantadora caida con gracia que tanto nos emociona en aquella capital musical Viena de entonces, el inconfundible sello Mozartiano de la tradición vienesa conteniendo un encanto muy especial
i'm learning this (piano part) and damn that's hard
Me alegra que alguien estudie ésta pieza, intentaré estudiar la parte de piano yo también. Te deseo suerte!
For violin it’s so easy 😂
Try Beethoven’s works
good thing im the violinist :)
I have one week to perform this
Help me
Please
Help us dear lord
Lol
I hope you did well
About as close to perfection as you can get!
My very first introduction to the A major concerto was Szyerng. First impressions mean a lot.
This song, is me, this song is my everything
I looooooove thisssssssss!
Sono armoniosi insieme🤩☺☺
très belle interprétation de cette sonate,
amazing!!!!
1:50 it seems to me that Mozart inspired Schubert for his first violin sonata in D major. ;)
JanLuka Diebold looks like schubert wanted that d
@8:38 I like the added left hand trill!
OMG. Brilliant.
Played this last year for camera music at the conservatorium, at the beggining I was really frustrated becouse I wasn't able to playit at the same speed and level as the violin, but when I was finally able I enjoied It as much as I could. Personaly, I absolutly love the ending, in the piano It let me release everything that wanted to in those last 8 messures and together with the violing it felt like we could fill the entire building with that music.
I'll remember It for a long time.
Mozart = MILAGRO
Mozart = GENIO
Bravo ❤
❤ super
A masterpiece
so beautiful menuet.
Gosh 😭❤ so beautiful !! ❤❤😍😍 I'm crying 😭😭❤
Why is this my favorite sonata
6:50 2mvm ... 5:35 ... 5:54 ... 11:22
9:09, 10:53
This is actually the only violin sonata that Mozart wrote in a minor key (I do not mean in A minor). He wrote this piece in the death of his mother. But this sonata is one of my favourite of wich a heard of.
Il minuetto comincia al settimo minuto: l'allegro è una sua attesa infinita.
AMO ESTA MUSICA ME TRAMQUILIZA
Mozart of course loved for music, which attains its delicacy as a reflection of his personality, characterized by continuous play and levity, over which periodically rises the drama of social tension, a tension that's real yet not understood, a tension of which we separate by finding means to challenge the norm, and the strongest of all norms lays in our disgust of shameful necessities like the ungodly urge to defecate. Becoming drawn to the ungodly makes us understand the lowest and the highest, enables us to express it through music , and shields us from all the stupidity of conformist compliance
which in turn leaves us suitably lonely for the task
You can hear all of Mozart's violin sonatas (over five hours!) played by Szeryng and Haebler on another UA-cam site!
but without score.
And i just wanna hear only this K 304, that may waste too much data :)
my favourite ending from Mozart...
Mi favorita
Igual la mía :)
è indescrivibile!!!
im playing this song with another pianist for a concert in march
wow thats a lot of feeling in one piece
looks like ill have to try extra hard!
IMO this violin sonata is popular not only because it is the only one in a minor key, but from a violin POV it is also quite accessible and easy to play.
I'm playing this with a friend, so beautiful, we have a lot to live up to!
演奏が素晴らしくて、泣く暇が取れない。
作曲が巧妙で、人の技かと疑惑が生まれる。
フィナーレには、forte記号はないんだ！！！？？
Great performance! From 5:59 to 6:06 the pianist is following a different score in the left hand than the one shown on screen. Both versions are genius..
He doesn't.
She*
Mozart - the perfect balance between action and repose- always. I wish there was a 3rd movement. It's incomplete.
It is not incomplete. It is a two movement Sonata which was very common in those days. See Haydn, even Beethoven wrote a few.
2nd mov is a jewel.
Oh so lovely
I found a reference to this piece while reading The Violin Conspiracy by Brendan Slocumb. In my book club at the library. A mystery. Page turner. ❤
im playing this for my college audition at isu i hope it goes well
Good luck!
Bartje Bartmans Thank you so much
mackenzie regan piano or violin part ?

So how did it go?
Delightful
I’ ve plaid this, a long time ago! I was so nervous, but I did well!
Ah mozart ❤️🙏🏻
💗
As everybody says... The second movement is absolutely flabbergasting!
my love play this piece
on 7:43 there is written c, but szeryng plays d(as in urtext)
Mozart in a major key: The birds are dancing around me. Nothing can go wrong. I fell and everyone is laughing at me. - Classic Mozart feel
Mozart in a minor key: Oh no! Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. I must try to right this. Oh no. No. Nooo! - Very emotional, A foreshadowing of what’s to come later with Beethoven
I mean for example his Piano Sonata in C minor foreshadows Beethoven’s Pathetique Sonata, all the way to the diminished seventh retransition in the Rondo.
