Addendum for 4/2

When you go to the imslp home page, first you must click on “Petrucci music library”, then follow the instructions below. Also, the audio performance on the works page is not particularly good. A better experience is to follow along with a recording by Mitsuko Uchida availabe on youtube. She is an incredible Mozart interpreter.

Assignment for Monday, 4/2

Go to the website imslp.org. In the search box type Mozart Piano Sonata no. 13 in Bb major k. 333. On the page for this piece, listen to the recordings of each movement while following the score. (the second score choice, a pdf uploaded by “unknown” is a good choice.) Note the key signature and form of each movement. Send me an email by Monday morning with that information: the key of each movement and the “macro” form of each movement. Look for clues in the score while listening. Good luck.
