The 'Movement [Allegro] in A major (fragment), K. Anh. 48 (K. 385e)' is a composition by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The exact date of its composition is unknown, but it is believed to have been written in the early 1770s. The piece was never completed, and only a fragment of the first movement exists. The premiere of the piece is also unknown, as it was never performed during Mozart's lifetime. The fragment was discovered in the 19th century and has since been studied and performed by musicians and scholars. The fragment consists of a single movement, marked Allegro, in the key of A major. The piece begins with a lively and energetic theme played by the strings, which is then echoed by the woodwinds. The theme is then developed and expanded upon throughout the movement, with various instruments taking turns playing the melody and accompanying parts. Despite its incomplete state, the 'Movement [Allegro] in A major' showcases Mozart's mastery of form and structure. The piece follows a traditional sonata form, with an exposition, development, and recapitulation. The themes are well-crafted and memorable, and the orchestration is skillful and effective. Overall, the 'Movement [Allegro] in A major (fragment), K. Anh. 48 (K. 385e)' is a testament to Mozart's genius and serves as a reminder of the many unfinished works he left behind. Despite its incomplete state, the piece remains a valuable addition to Mozart's oeuvre and a fascinating glimpse into his creative process.
