The aim of this research is to highlight the role played by the piano along with other instruments in the chamber music genre, through the interpretative study and analysis of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Sonata Kv. 304 (1778). In this regard, the pianist's point of view will be fundamental to know how to approach a chamber music score, with autonomy and knowledge of the composer's intention and of the way the keyboard instrument must be treated. Establishing the creative phases of the performer's work depends on factors such as the musician's own training, the stylistic approach and the personal touch given to the piece. The different types of difficulties and composer-specific writing elements will have to be taken into account with a different technical and interpretative approach.
