Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed the 'London Sketchbook No. 16: Andante in G minor, K. Anh. 109b (15q)' in 1765 when he was just nine years old. The piece was not published during his lifetime and was only discovered in the 20th century. The premiere of the piece is unknown, as it was not performed publicly until much later. The 'London Sketchbook No. 16: Andante in G minor, K. Anh. 109b (15q)' is a short piece consisting of a single movement. It is written in the key of G minor and has a melancholic and introspective character. The piece is scored for solo piano and has a simple and elegant melody that is accompanied by a delicate and intricate accompaniment. The piece begins with a slow and mournful introduction that sets the tone for the rest of the piece. The melody is introduced in the right hand and is accompanied by a simple and repetitive left-hand pattern. The melody is then repeated with slight variations and is developed throughout the piece. The middle section of the piece is more lively and features a more complex and virtuosic piano part. The melody is still present but is now accompanied by a more intricate and elaborate accompaniment. The section builds to a climax before returning to the original melody and accompaniment. The piece ends with a quiet and introspective coda that brings the piece to a peaceful and contemplative close. The 'London Sketchbook No. 16: Andante in G minor, K. Anh. 109b (15q)' is a beautiful and haunting piece that showcases Mozart's early talent and musical sensitivity.
