The Movement for violin & piano in G major (fragment), K. Anh. 47 (546a) is a work by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in the late 1780s. The exact date of composition is unknown, but it is believed to have been written between 1787 and 1788. The work was never completed, and only the first 18 bars of the violin part and the first 44 bars of the piano part survive. The Movement for violin & piano in G major (fragment), K. Anh. 47 (546a) was first premiered in 1802, more than a decade after Mozart's death. The premiere was given by the violinist Johann Nepomuk Hummel and the pianist Ferdinand Ries in Vienna. The Movement for violin & piano in G major (fragment), K. Anh. 47 (546a) consists of a single movement in G major. The surviving portion of the work is in sonata form, with an exposition, development, and recapitulation. The violin and piano parts are both virtuosic and require a high level of technical skill from the performers. The Movement for violin & piano in G major (fragment), K. Anh. 47 (546a) is characteristic of Mozart's mature style, with its elegant melodies, sophisticated harmonies, and subtle use of counterpoint. The work is notable for its lyrical and expressive violin part, which is accompanied by a rich and varied piano part. Despite its incomplete state, the Movement for violin & piano in G major (fragment), K. Anh. 47 (546a) is considered a valuable addition to Mozart's oeuvre. The surviving portion of the work is a testament to Mozart's genius as a composer and his ability to create music of great beauty and complexity.
