Mozart's piano sonatas admittedly do not show him at the height of his powers. (The fine C minor Sonata, K.457, is exceptional.) But, as this delightful example shows, Mozart's astonishing fertility of invention enriches even these comparatively slight works-probably written for the use of his pupils. The Sonata is historically interesting, too, as an illustration of the keyboard technique of the period when the pianoforte had not yet entirely supplanted the harpsichord and clavichord. It is usually attributed to the late 1770's, but internal evidence suggests that it is a more youthful work.

by Eileen Joyce
Eileen Joyce ran wild in the bush of Australia before being educated by the nuns of the Loreto Convent in Perth on Swan River. They were the first to teach her serious music, and brought her playing before the notice of Percy Grainger and Backhaus when they visited the convent. Little more than eight years ago she arrived unknown and still in her teens in England. After a few lessons from Tobias Matthay she made her first appearance in London at a Prom in 1930, and her debut on the air by playing a Prokofiev concerto. Three years' intensive study with Matthay followed. She won the Woodward Smith Scholarship in 1931 and at a concert given by his students two years later brought the house down with those same two studies of Liszt and Schlozer which also made her name with the gramophone public. In 1936 she made a tour of Australia.
