Hi there, I've been currently learning the Sonata in A+ K331 by Mozart, and I was wondering if you had any ideas or tips on performing the piece or any ideas on how to interpret this piece?

thanks.

There are plenty of wonderful recordings from which to get ideas. So much easier to get it from that than from any words we could offer.

I agree that listening to recordings is helpful. I might add that reading other editions and comparing the historical and performance notes written by the editors is worth a trip to your music store to compare your current copy with another. I have picked up ideas that way.

NPR is a great source for composer info as well. This is where I first heard about Debussy's habit of covering the piano with cloths to muffle the sound. He really liked the quiet tones.

Hope this helps !

Which movement are we talking about? Or are you learning all of them?
