MUSICAL CONTEXT
The story behind the music.
Settled in Vienna and newly married to Constanze, Mozart was living a moment of creative freedom, not without concerns. In this context, he composed this Fantasia for piano, an intimate work in which he pours out his inner world. Its contrasts reflect a period of enthusiasm, love, and uncertainty.
AT THE PIANO
Three ideas to work on.
Work first on the pulse, then the balance, and finally the complete direction of the phrase.
Balanced voices.
Bring out the principal line while keeping the accompaniment flexible and secondary.
A directed phrase.
