This course offers a step-by-step guide to practicing the first movement of Mozart’s Sonata in A minor, K. 310.

Alongside practical work on fingering, technical freedom, and stylistic refinement, this course also looks closely at the expressive world of this remarkable movement. It is designed not only to help students play it with greater ease and confidence, but also to deepen their understanding of how its form, tension, and emotional force function as a complete artistic statement.

What you will learn in this course:

• efficient technique for strength, clarity, and control
• practical fingering solutions for technically difficult passages
• stylistic accuracy and nuance in Mozart’s dramatic language
• clearer understanding of form, structure, and compositional design
• deeper insight into the character and expressive meaning of the movement

About your instructor:

I'm a Ukrainian pianist currently living in Austria, and I've had the privilege of building a strong reputation in the world of classical music. Over the years, I've achieved success in several international competitions, solidifying my position as a well-known concert performer. However, my passion doesn't stop at performing; I'm also deeply committed to teaching the piano.

As a piano teacher, I go beyond simply focusing on style and musicality. My primary goal is to help students optimize their piano-playing techniques for efficiency. I've had the pleasure of working with students from all corners of the globe, assisting them in revamping their piano techniques, relieving tension, recovering from piano-related injuries, and developing effective learning strategies. I take a comprehensive approach to piano instruction, aiming to be a valuable resource for pianists looking to improve their skills, overcome challenges, and realize their full potential.

I wish you an exciting learning experience!

Sincerely,

Denis Zhdanov
