Mozart Sonata K448

performed by Argerich & Baldocci

Mozart Sonata KV448
I. Allegro con spirito
II. Andante
III. Molto Allegro

This sonata for 2 pianos was composed in galant style, posing the beauty of echoing melodies and puntuating cadences. It is believed that listening to this sonata will have the "Mozart Effect", i. e., listening improve spatial reasoning and reduce the number of seizures in people with epilepsy(According to the British Epilepsy Oganization). Other than this sonata, According to the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, research suggested that Mozart's Concerto K488and Greek Composer Yanni's "Acroyali/Standing in Motion" can also make the listeners experience "Mozart Effect" due to the similar tempo, musical structure, melodic & harmonic consonance and predictability.
