Sonatas New York Performances

“Sonatas” at Groupmuse NYC frames the sonata as a living form rather than a museum piece. The program sets Mozart’s classical sonatas beside Domenico Scarlatti’s compact, single-movement keyboard works, letting listeners track changes in structure, surface detail, and ornament. Specific New York premiere history is not clearly documented for this pairing, but the city’s long recital tradition makes this kind of close listening feel culturally native. One quiet insight emerges: form can be argument, not just container.
