Piano Sonatas K.309, K.332, K.282, K.333

Released in 1991 on the Arietta label, this collection features the Slovak pianist Ivan Gajan performing four of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s piano sonatas. The recording was produced during a period when smaller European labels were actively expanding their catalogs to include standard classical repertoire, offering listeners alternative interpretations of works that had been foundational to the development of the classical sonata form.

The recording highlights the structural elegance of Mozart’s mid-to-late period sonatas, including the light-hearted K.309 and the lyrical K.333. Ivan Gajan, a respected pedagogue and performer, approaches these pieces with a focus on stylistic clarity and the technical precision characteristic of the Central European keyboard tradition, aiming to present the music with the balance and restraint expected in historically informed performance practice.
