Double Pentagon Concerts

17/09/2026

Double Pentagon Concerts and Manila Pianos Inc. present Reynaldo Reyes Gendrano in a traversal of the complete piano sonatas of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The fourth and final concert of the cycle will be on Sunday, October 11, 2026 at 4 pm.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s piano sonatas were composed between 1773 to 1788, a period in which his style matured at a truly remarkable rate. The earliest sonatas are very much in the style of Carl Philip Emmanuel Bach while the late sonatas have the influence of Haydn. In some passages even predicting Beethoven. The years coincided with the development of the pianoforte from a novelty and experimental instrument, to the stage where its power and range provided composers with a hitherto undreamed palate of colours and expression. Mozart exploited the new instruments to maximum effect in his concertos and his sonatas.
