Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's 'London Sketchbook No. 19: Sonata movement in F major, K. Anh. 109b (15t)' is a piano sonata movement that was composed in 1765 during Mozart's visit to London. The exact date of composition is unknown, but it is believed to have been written in the early part of the year. The piece was not published during Mozart's lifetime and was only discovered in the 20th century. The 'London Sketchbook No. 19' is a collection of piano pieces that Mozart composed during his stay in London. The collection contains 23 pieces, including minuets, sonata movements, and other short pieces. The 'Sonata movement in F major, K. Anh. 109b (15t)' is one of the longer pieces in the collection and is considered to be one of the more significant works in the 'London Sketchbook.' The 'Sonata movement in F major, K. Anh. 109b (15t)' is a single movement sonata that is approximately five minutes in length. The piece is in F major and is written in sonata form, which consists of three main sections: the exposition, development, and recapitulation. The exposition introduces the main themes of the piece, the development section explores and develops these themes, and the recapitulation restates the themes in their original form. The piece begins with a lively and cheerful theme that is introduced by the right hand of the piano. The left hand provides a simple accompaniment that supports the melody. The second theme is introduced by the left hand and is more subdued and lyrical than the first theme. The two themes are then developed and explored in the development section, with the left hand taking on a more prominent role. The recapitulation restates the themes in their original form, with the right hand once again taking the lead. The piece ends with a brief coda that brings the piece to a close. The 'Sonata movement in F major, K. Anh. 109b (15t)' is a charming and delightful piece that showcases Mozart's skill as a composer. The piece is characterized by its lively and cheerful themes, its simple yet effective accompaniment, and its use of sonata form. The piece is a testament to Mozart's ability to create beautiful and memorable music, even at a young age.
