Mozart Sonata for 2 Pianos in D Major K.448

Mozart Sonata for 2 Pianos in D Major K.448, supposedly famous for its “Mozart Effect” on the unborn and the pre-school to increase IQ, improve reasoning and has a great number of other benefits. Believe it or not, the sonata has a pleasant feel all through out. It was composed in 1781 by Mozart to be performed with one of his fellow students. I believe the sonata does help us feel better, and the psychological effect it has on us may definitely improve the mood.

I enjoyed all 3 movements, especially the first and the last movements, they are very playful and much enjoyable. On youtube, I’ve found a performance by the legendary pianist Martha Argerich and Italian pianist Gabriele Baldocci. The performance was not a professional recording, both the video and the sound quality is somewhat doubtful. Nevertheless, the playing was masterful and quite fun to listen to.
