Italian violinist Francesca Dego plays three contrasting Mozart sonatas.

Italian violinist and Mozart specialist Francesca Dego plays three contrasting sonatas by Mozart from the composer's early and later career.

Award-winning young Italian violinist Francesca Dego brings an all-Mozart programme of sonatas to the Perth Concert Hall, featuring three contrasting sonatas. The short and simple Sonatas in G and A were written while visiting Mannheim, in south-west Germany, a highly influential centre for innovation and the development of the orchestra. The Sonata K454 written six years later in Vienna is a more substantial proposition. According to a story told by Constanze, his wife, Mozart did not leave himself time to write down the piano part of K454 before its performance in Vienna and so performed with a blank sheet of paper on the stand - much to the admiration of Emperor Joseph II - according to the story.
