Composed during a period of personal turmoil in Paris, Mozart's A minor sonata (K. 310) stands out for its emotional intensity and stormy passages, rare in his earlier keyboard works. Its minor key and technical demands reflect both his mature style and influence from the Sturm und Drang movement.
Composed in 1778 during Mozart's tumultuous Paris journey, this sonata reflects profound emotional depth, possibly influenced by his mother's recent death. It stands as one of only two minor-key piano sonatas he ever wrote.
