Mozart Piano Sonatas with Form, Harmony, and Texture Annotations

The 18 Mozart piano sonatas with some form, harmony, and texture annotations This dataset is an archive of the “Mozart Piano Sonatas” corpus (scores, measure maps, analyses, recordings, synchronizations, metadata). It provides both raw data and data for integration with the Dezrann music web platform: https://www.dezrann.net/explore/mozart-piano-sonatas. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791) was a composer of 18th century Classical style period, recognized as one of the three principal figures of the First Viennese School, alongside Joseph Haydn and Ludwig van Beethoven. He expressed his versatile music ideas in a large palette of genres. His piano sonatas, published over a 15-year period, were composed for various purposes, including educational material and private commissions from aristocrats. The classical sonata (typically for a solo keyboard instrument) is composed of usually three movements, of which the first generally follows sonata form. Mozart’s sonatas are well known to have a remarkable structural and textural composition. The corpus consists of complete scores of all 18 sonatas with form, harmony, and cadence annotations (Hentschel et al., 2021). Sonatas 1 (K279), 2 (K280) and 5 (K283) also have texture annotations (Couturier et al., 2022). Some movements also have synchronized audio. The corpus uses measure maps (Gotham et al., 2023) to improve annotation interoperability.
