Description
Bathed in the brightness of G major, this is one of the more approachable sonatas in Mozart's early set. The opening movement begins with a light theme, and the finale delivers a dance-like energy. At around twelve minutes with over 6,700 notes, it calls for a clear sense of rhythm along with smooth handling of its decorative figurations.
Piano sonatas representative of the Classical and Romantic eras, including Beethoven's early works — substantial multi-movement pieces throughout.
