Marianne von Martinez: Sonata in E Major

Allegro Andante Presto As an affirmed dilettante, and under direct influence of Italian composers, Martinez’s music is perfectly adequate for the fortepiano, and is very likely that she had access to it. Michael Kelly, who was a regular attendee of Martinez’s salon, included in his memories: "The colleges of Bologna and Pavia gave her the title of Dottoressa; and deputations came from both those places, with her diploma. When I was admitted to her conversaziones and musical parties, she was in the vale of years, yet still possessed the gaiety and vivacity of a girl and was polite and affable to all. Mozart was an almost constant attendant at her parties, and I have heard him play duets on the piano-forte with her, of his own composition. She was a great favorite of his." In the first movement, Martinez plays with two contrasting themes, advancing towards the classical sonata form: the first is rhythmic while the second is an ornamented accompanied melody; she also uses some motives that recalls those of the string players (pizzicato and bow gestures). In the second movement, the descendent bass line acquires great importance, while on top we hear a syncopated and expressive theme, organized in longer phrases than any other movement. The final moment is an uplifting allegro, filled with triplets in both the melody and the accompaniment.
