Recently, pianist Sara Davis Buechner decided to tackle all the piano sonatas by Mozart -- his happy, life-affirming sonatas, his darker, moodier works, and everything in between. On Friday's Performance Today, hear Buechner play Mozart's Fantasy and Sonata in C minor, from a concert in New York City.
