Violin Sonata No.32 in Bb
- aka "Sonata for violin & piano No.32 in Bb"- K.454
Mvt.1 Largo - Allegro
Mvt.2 Andante
Mvt.3 Allegretto
Totaling about 23 minutes.
The sonata was written for a violin virtuoso to be performed at a concert in Vienna. Mozart was to be the pianist, but he did not give himself enough time to write out the score for piano. Thus it was performed with a sheet of blank music paper in front of him, as a prop.
... According to a story told by his widow Constanze, the emperor Joseph II saw the empty sheet music through his opera glasses and sent for the composer with his manuscript during which time Mozart had to confess the truth, although that is likely to have amused the monarch rather than cause his irritation.
