Mark Steinberg violin ; Jonathan Biss piano

Mark Steinberg and Jonathan Biss continue their two-season Wigmore Hall Mozart series with a rich mix of works. The duo’s programme includes two of the composer’s ‘Palatine’ Sonatas, K302 and K304, so called because they were dedicated to Maria Elisabeth, the Electress Palatine. Both compositions thrust the violin into the solo spotlight, with the E minor work anticipating Beethoven’s dramatic style by more than two decades. They close with K526, widely regarded to be the greatest of Mozart’s violin sonatas.
