Description
Composed in 1786, this is a bright, witty rondo. Its cheerful D major theme returns with an appealing melodic line, showing Mozart's characteristic elegance and light humor. At around five minutes with about 2,500 notes, it is a well-proportioned piece approachable for intermediate to advanced players.
Works in rondo form, where a recurring theme alternates with contrasting episodes — a light, appealing structure favored by Classical composers.
