Mozart's Sonatas by Artur Pizarro

Saturday 31 October · 15:00

Convento de São Pedro de Alcântara, Lisbon

Synopsis / Complete Mozart Piano Sonatas / in 6 Recitals by Artur Pizarro / A ÉGIDE presents the Complete Piano Sonatas of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, in a cycle of six recitals performed by Artur Pizarro, at the Convento de São Pedro de Alcântara. / Hearing the entirety of Mozart's piano sonatas in concert is a rare opportunity. These works, written throughout almost the whole of the composer's life, do not form a homogeneous set, but a musical journey that traverses different creative phases, contexts and intentions. Heard as a cycle, they reveal themselves as a true portrait of Mozart's evolution as a composer for piano, between classical elegance, formal invention and a surprising expressive depth. / The complete presentation of these sonatas is infrequent at an international level, being a challenge undertaken only by a very small number of pianists, among whom names such as Alfred Brendel, Mitsuko Uchida or Daniel Barenboim stand out. The artistic demands, interpretive stamina and musical coherence required make this type of project exceptional. / This cycle also recovers the performance order chosen by Sequeira Costa at the time of his historic complete cycle of 1956, recreating a reading conceived as a continuous artistic journey, where the dialogue between works from different periods reveals affinities, contrasts and new perspectives for listening. / With this initiative, ÉGIDE - ÉGIDE - Associação Portuguesa das Artes - proposes a rare and in-depth listening experience, inviting the public to discover Mozart as a coherent whole, lived in time and continuity. / PROGRAMME: / First Concert - 19 September 2026 / Sonata in B Flat Major - K. 333 / Allegro Andante cantabile Allegretto grazioso Sonata in E Flat Major - K. 282 / Adagio Minuetto I & II Allegro Interval / Sonata in D Major - K. 311 / Allegro con spirito Andante cantabile con espressione Rondo - Allegro / Second Concert - 26 September 2026 / Sonata in C Major - K. 279 / Allegro Andante Allegro Sonata in A Minor - K. 310 / Allegro maestoso Andante cantabile con espressione Presto Interval / Sonata in B Flat Major - K. 281
