Declaration of love or a gesture of appeasement: Wagner’s Piano Sonata in A-flat major ('Album-Sonata'), played by Kit Armstrong in the Margravial Opera House Bayreuth, 2019. Richard Wagner’s (1813 – 1883) major musical dramas tend to overshadow his piano compositions. But the Piano Sonata in A flat major for M. Wesendonck (WWV 85) represents a significant turning point in the Wagnerian oeuvre. With a warrant out for his arrest for revolutionary activities in Dresden, Wagner lived in exile in Zürich from 1849 until 1858, years he later described as some of the most “formative and productive” of his entire life. It was here that he produced – alongside numerous theoretical essays and texts for the musical dramas – much of the music for the Ring cycle and Act 1 of Tristan. But for the first years of his stay in Switzerland, Wagner hadn’t been able to compose a note. That all changed in 1852 when he first met Mathilde Wesendonck. He felt inspired to pick up his pen once again and in June 1853, he composed the Piano Sonata in A-flat Major especially for her. The demanding piano piece was titled "A Sonata for the Album of Mrs. M. W."; he also added the motto "Wisst ihr, wie das wird?" (Do you know how it will be?) – a line from the prolog of Twilight of the Gods, where the Norns signpost the future. It's not known whether this sonata was a kind of declaration of love, or whether Wagner composed the piano piece to symbolize his gratitude to Mathilde Wesendonck, as he later explained in a bid to calm the situation. In any case, a love affair did develop between Wagner and Wesendonck which, although it may have been only platonic, sent severe ripples through both marriages. And which, on the other hand, fanned the flames of Wagner’s compositional creativity once more. The motive fabric of the sonata can be seen as a precursor to the musical language of Tristan. Wagner personally presented Mathilde Wesendonck with the love opera’s original libretto in 1857. The Wagner sonata is part of a longer piano recital that Armstrong gave on 24 July 2019 in Bayreuth. The program also included works by Franz Liszt and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The fairytale-like backdrop to this concert was provided by the Margravial Opera House Bayreuth, one of the most beautiful Baroque theaters in the world. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2012. The grand piano played by Armstrong also comes from Bayreuth. It was built by Steingraeber & Sons, a company that has been making pianos since 1852.

A fantastical piece against a fantastic backdrop: Mozart’s Fantasy in C minor (K. 475) played by Kit Armstrong at the Margravial Opera House Bayreuth, 2019. The highlight of the concert evenings that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart +••.••(...)) regularly held with a small orchestra in Vienna were his improvisations on the fortepiano, with which the composer enriched the program. Mozart usually did not write down these always much acclaimed piano pieces, so they are lost to posterity. One exception is the Fantasy in C minor (K. 475), which Mozart set to music and published in 1785. The Piano Fantasy in C minor begins in a somber and restrained C minor. Characteristic, however, is then a multiple change between minor and major keys, which provides an alternating bath of musical expressions that oscillate between exuberant cheerfulness and deepest sadness. Finally, the round dance ends again in the initial key of C minor, which gives the Fantasy K. 475 a cohesive form despite all its variety. The Fantasy in C minor is one of Mozart’s best-known fantasies and is – like most of Mozart’s works – hugely challenging. Fun fact: Mozart was not poor, but he was always short of money because he lived a less-than-modest lifestyle. He often tried to make a quick buck with hastily written compositions. This was also the case with the manuscript of the C minor Fantasy. Mozart quickly sold it (together with that of the subsequent Piano Sonata in C minor) in order to temporarily secure his livelihood from the little money he had. In 1990 the autograph of these two piano works was auctioned at Sotheby’s for £880,000. The Mozart Fantasy in C minor is part of a longer piano recital given by Kit Armstrong in Bayreuth on July 24, 2019. The program also included works by Franz Liszt and Richard Wagner. The fantastic setting for this concert is provided by the Margravial Opera House Bayreuth, one of the most beautiful Baroque theaters in the world. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2012. The grand piano that Armstrong plays also comes from Bayreuth – from the renowned piano manufacturers Streingraeber & Söhne, who have been making pianos since 1852.
