Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos, in D major, K. 448

Mozart composed his Sonata for Two Pianos, in D Major, K. 448, in 1781, when he was twenty-five years of age. Written in sonata-allegro form, this popular piece has three movements.

This sonata was used in a scientific study that tested the theory of the "Mozart Effect", suggesting that classical music increases brain activity more than other kinds of music. In fact, according to the British Epilepsy Organization, research has suggested that listening to this piece can improved spatial-reasoning skills and reduce the number of seizures in people with epilepsy.

The music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 - 1791) is one of humanity's greatest treasures. Unsurpassed in its abundance of fascinating brilliant ideas and its immense breadth of emotion, it provides boundless joy to listeners and performers.
