Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Sonata for violin & piano No. 30 in C major (fragment), K. 403 (385c) was composed in 1784. The piece was never completed, and only two movements were written. The first movement is marked Allegro moderato, and the second movement is marked Andante cantabile. The sonata was likely intended for performance by Mozart and his friend, the violinist Michael Haydn. The first movement of the sonata begins with a lively and energetic theme in the piano, which is then taken up by the violin. The two instruments engage in a lively dialogue, with the violin often playing virtuosic runs and trills. The second theme is more lyrical and expressive, with the violin taking the lead. The movement is characterized by its playful and joyful spirit, with Mozart's signature wit and charm evident throughout. The second movement is a beautiful and lyrical Andante cantabile. The violin takes the lead in this movement, with the piano providing a delicate accompaniment. The melody is simple and elegant, with a sense of melancholy and longing. The movement is characterized by its expressive and emotional depth, with Mozart's gift for melody and harmony on full display. Despite being an incomplete work, the Sonata for violin & piano No. 30 in C major (fragment), K. 403 (385c) is a testament to Mozart's genius as a composer. The two movements that were completed are masterful examples of his skill in writing for the violin and piano, and showcase his ability to create music that is both technically challenging and emotionally expressive.
