Sonata No. 24 in F Major, K. 376
W. A. Mozart: Sonata No. 24 in F Major, K. 376 was written for violin and piano in Vienna, during the summer of 1781.
The sonata was dedicated to Mozart's piano pupil Josepha Barbara Auernhammer, an accomplished keyboard player with whom he premiered the work.
On 27 June 1781, Mozart wrote of her: "Almost every day after dinner I am at H: v: Auernhammer's - The Miss is a monster! - plays delightfully though, however, she lacks the genuine fine and lilting quality of cantabile; she plucks too much." That year, Mozart dedicated his Violin Sonatas K. 296 and K. 376–80 to her.
The year 1781 marked a significant turning point in Mozart's life. He had just severed his relationship with his employer, the Archbishop of Salzburg, and moved permanently to Vienna to establish himself as a freelance composer and performer. He was composing intensely for the lucrative Viennese market and had just begun his courtship of Constanze Weber, whom he would marry the following year.
Mozart Wolfgang Amadeus
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) was an Austrian composer, considered as one of the most important classical composers along with Haydn and Beethoven. Born in Salzburg at the family of composer, violinist and music teacher Leopold Mozart, young boy received thorough musical education and soon became known as a child prodigy who toured Europe along with his sister Maria Anna (nicknamed Nannerl) and their father. At the age of 14, while touring in Milan, young Amadeus wrote opera “Mitridate, re di Porto” which was received very well and led to new commissions. Upon returning from Italy Mozart served as a court musician in Salzburg where he gained rapidly growing recognition as a composer. In 1778 he tried to find better employment opportunities in Paris, Manheim and Munich while kept writing numerous works. One of them was Concerto for Flute and Harp in C major. After rather short and reluctant return to Salzburg, Mozart was summoned to Vienna by his employer archbishop Colloredo and got a chance to meet with emperor Joseph II who initially supported him with part-time employment and various commissions.
After starting his freelance career in Vienna in 1781 he became known as the best keyboard player in Vienna. Additionally, his opera Die Entführung aus dem Serail (The Abduction from the Seraglio) was a great success leading to rather luxurious lifestyle which he couldn’t maintain. His growing interest in opera produced his two most known operas The Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni. Due to Austro-Turkish war the possibility to perform or get new commissions shrunk and Mozart’s financial situation worsened. He started borrowing money and suffered from depression. During his last years he composed his last three of his symphonies as well as opera buffa Cosi Fan tutte (All Women Do It). During his last year (1791) he managed to compose opera The Magic Flute and the Requiem.
Mozart’s music had a great influence on many composers, including Beethoven, Reger, Chopin, and Tchaikovsky.
