About this piece
Diabelli's Sonatinas are great pieces to get started with the sonata form. They belong to the Classical period together with Clementi and Kuhlau's examples.
This movement is defined by a typical eight notes accompaniment with the left hand and a bright and lively melody with the right hand.
