Piano Sonata No. 16 in C Major |
Classical, Classical era, music for solo piano |
Marus, 1988 |
Possibly the most famous of Mozart's solo piano works, the melody of the first movement is particularly well known. Mozart added the piece to his catalogue on 6/26/1788, but it was not actually published until 1805, after his death. The sonata is sometimes referred to by the nickname Sonaa facille, or Sonata semplice, and Mozart referred to it as being "for beginners". |
