Work introduction
In the ductus of this piano piece is based on the lightness and motivic simplicity of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's piano sonatas.
Allegro is based on two melodic themes. The fist theme is made of a fresh four-tune motif, the second theme sounds shadowy and calm.
Andante has a repetitive bar structure. This provides the basis for the melodic unfolding.
The movement pair Menuett - Trio is written in traditional three quarter time. The partly syncopic rhythmic design emphasises the dancing character.
Presto forms a vigourous final set. The playful main motif returns several times and thus gives this movement a kind of rondo form.
