Mozart: Chamber Sonatas/ Medlam, London Baroque

These sonatas composed in chamber style for several instruments seem to have been imposed on the Church by Salzburg custom of the time. Following in his father's footsteps, W.A. Mozart composed 17 such sonatas between 1772 and 1780. Their structures, with a single usually rapid movement stems from the purest Baroque style, yet they belong amongst the founding works of Classical style and the concertante aspect of some is really stunning!
