Sonata for Keyboard Four-hands K.19a (Mozart)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sonata for Keyboard Four-hands in C major, K. 19d is a sonata composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in May 1765 when he was in London. It was probably first performed by Mozart in The Great Room, accompanied by his sister on 13 May 1765. It is, as most (if not all) of his early works, heavily influenced by his father and other composers who were close to Mozart, e.g. Christian Bach. His father's harsh demands are clearly portrayed in this early work, but despite this, Mozart's independence was still in a vague stage of development.
The sonata is laid out in three movements:
- Allegro
- Menuetto Trio
- Rondo
