Description
Written in F major, this sonata retains the shape of a fully formed movement, unlike some of Mozart's more fragmentary sketches. Flowing melodic lines combine with a steady accompaniment pattern to create a classically balanced texture. At around seven and a half minutes with over 4,600 notes, it calls for natural, breathing phrasing in the melody alongside an even touch in the accompaniment.
Piano sonatas representative of the Classical and Romantic eras, including Beethoven's early works — substantial multi-movement pieces throughout.
