My Performance
Comments
This piece, found in the notebook he wrote for his son, was probably not written by Leopold Mozart. It’s light, happy, and fun to play.
Things I Found Difficult
Bars 3, 7, 9-10, 16 – Jump from A to E in left hand
Keeping the accompaniment light and quieter than the melody in the right hand.
Structure
A – A – B – B – A
Sections
| Section | Bars | Comments |
| A | 1-4 | |
| B | 9-10 | Watch dynamics; first f, then p on repeat |
