Mozart: Piano Sonata in D Major K 311This little D major sonata is somewhat the pansy (or violet?) among Mozarts eighteen piano sonatas. It is little in dimensions when compared to the two other sonatas in the same key of D major (K. 284, and especially K. 576). It is very seldom heard in concert; and in piano lessons, too, is played less frequently. Admittedly it is not enveloped by the tragic gloom of the Sonata in A minor K. 310, nor does it have a wonderfully heartfelt slow movement
