Paul Lewis | Mozart
A journey into the heart of Mozart’s piano sonatas.
Mozart’s piano sonatas are often overshadowed by his dazzling concertos. Many see them as simpler, less inspired, or somehow secondary. Internationally renowned British pianist Paul Lewis invites you to experience these sonatas in a new light.
Tonight’s programme places Mozart’s piano writing alongside music by other composers – from the wit and elegance of Poulenc to the dreamy romance of Debussy. Through these pairings, we’ll explore both contrasts and unexpected connections. You’ll hear how Mozart’s sonatas echo with humour, lyricism, and tension – qualities that shaped the music that followed.
Join us for a fresh look at this rich and often underrated corner of the piano repertoire.
