„The Sonatas in B Flat Major KV 454” and „KV 378” by W.A. Mozart

Abstract

Ever since ancient times, it has been thought that the tonalities and keys are closely connected to different feelings and colors, being a very important manner of expression each composer has used. Thus, among the 19 sonatas for piano and violin by W. A. Mozart, 2 are written in the B flat major key, with an intense, strong, dynamic, and passionate tonality. Mozart composed 3 sonatas for piano and violin in the B flat major key – KV 378, KV454, and KV 570. From among these 3, only the first two are thought to be more important in the composer’s creation, as they are frequently part of the repertoire of any great violinist.
