Notes:
W.A.Mozart composed these pieces at the age of 7 and 8, marking the official beginning of his career as a composer.
Some movements were actually written when he was only 4 years old and appear in the manuscript notebook of his sister, Nannerl. A composer herself, she was also presented as a child prodigy across various European courts.
These first versions were the choosen ones by Eddy for being performed in this album.
The sonatas were published in Paris in 1764 for Piano with an accompaniment of Violin Ad Libitum and the first two were dedicated to Princess Victoria of France.
The influence of other composers of that time can be noted, such as Wagenseil, Honauer, Schobert, and Bach’s youngest son, Johann Christian.
In addition to naturally combining French elegance and Germanic structure, certain moments in these pieces are surprising, as they already manifest the adult Mozart we know and admire today.
Of particular note is the Adagio from Sonata K.7, that could be considered a masterpiece that stands alongside the most prominent works of the
composer’s entire career
THE 'ADVERBS' ALBUMS
Eddy Grossenstein - Composer, Pianist and Arranger
The Albums Adverbs 1, 2 and 3 are Piano Solo Compositons and the Adverbs 4 is an Orchestral Album.
This music isn’t created by software or automatic formulas,
it’s composed and recorded note by note with professionalism, but above all, with heart.
Eddy uses a system once practiced by Johann Sebastian Bach, inspired by the human sigh.
That small, involuntary gesture that brings us calm is at the very center of each piece.
Even in the most joyful themes, there is always space for the listener to breathe and feel at peace.
Eddy also carries with him the spirit of his childhood in Rio de Janeiro, where music was part of everyday life and had the power to soothe and bring tranquility to the people.
Even if sometimes appearing only discreetly, that spirit still lives in those compositions.
