Mozart’s Piano Sonata in C major, KV 309, contains one of his most beautiful slow movements: the Andante un poco adagio. But much of its expressive power comes from something deceptively simple: silence.
In this video, I explore how Mozart uses rests, timing, articulation and the release of individual notes to create tension and expression, and why respecting those silences can completely transform the character of the music.
🎹 W. A. Mozart — Piano Sonata No. 7 in C major, KV 309
II. Andante un poco adagio
Played here at a tempo inspired by Carl Czerny’s metronome indications.
