Piano Sonata No. 10 in C Major, K. 330

Composer: MOZART, Wolfgang Amadeus
  • Work for piano in three movements:
    1. Allegro moderato
    2. Andante cantabile
    3. Allegretto
  • Written in 1783, when Mozart was 27 years old while the composer’s popularity was on the rise in Vienna.
  • Piano Sonata No. 10 was published in 1784, along with two other piano sonatas (K. 331 and K. 332).1
  • Listen for the folk-song-like tune in the third movement, not unlike something you might hear Papageno sing in The Magic Flute.2
