In this video, I explore Mozart’s Prelude in C major, KV 284 (also known as Capriccio KV 395) as a form of written-out improvisation. We look at tempo, note structure, appoggiaturas, and why this remarkable piece only comes to life when you approach it as Mozart thinking at the keyboard.
Recorded on clavichord, with further practice material available on Patreon.
