Description
This Rondo, Op. 42 No. 1, is by the Czech Classical-era composer Johann Baptist Wanhal, a contemporary of Haydn and Mozart. It is built in the classical rondo form, with a light, appealing theme that returns throughout the piece. Though barely a minute long, its brisk figuration calls for clear articulation and steady rhythm from an intermediate player.
