Andante in C major, K. 1a, from Nannerl’s Music BookWolfgang Amadeus Mozart
This miniature piece of just ten measures was composed when the composer was five years old.
Crafted from a simple sequence of notes, it features a charming C-major melody that gently envelopes the listener.
As it shifts from 3/4 time to 2/4 time, it deftly weaves in fundamental elements of music.
Its appeal also lies in the contrast between its birdlike, twittering sweetness and Baroque-style phrases.
For students of keyboard instruments, it is an ideal piece for developing a sense of tonality and rhythm.
Although it dates back to early 1761, as recorded, it remains widely cherished in music education today.
Minuet in G major, K. 1 (K6 1e), from the Nannerl NotebookWolfgang Amadeus Mozart
An elegant minuet that the young Mozart wrote for his sister, Maria Anna Mozart.
In G major and triple meter, this piece is characterized by its straightforward melody.
Structured in an ABA ternary form with 8-bar repeats, it’s an approachable work free of stiffness.
Composed in Salzburg between December 1761 and January 1762, it displays a level of musical construction and expressiveness that seems remarkable for a five-year-old.

With its friendly melody and concise design, it exudes an elegant atmosphere.
It opens with a descending perfect fifth, followed by four chords in a striking development.
Structured in binary form, the progression from the main theme to the trio and back to the reprise of the theme clearly reflects the characteristics of the minuet form of the time.
The repeated eight-bar phrases are pleasing to the ear.
Along with its simple harmonic progression, the bright sonority of C major envelops the entire piece.
It is a recommended choice for those who value traditional stylistic beauty while seeking to broaden their expressive range.
Piano Sonata No. 16 in C major, K. 545, No. 2Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
This piece, notable for its graceful triple-meter melody, was composed in June 1788 and is intended for beginner-level learners.
The second movement in G major features a beautifully expressive, aria-like character and a simple, straightforward left-hand accompaniment.
While technically approachable, it demands a singing melodic line and delicate expressiveness.
Its calm tempo allows for unhurried playing, making it an excellent choice for those wishing to refine their expressivity or experience the charm of classical music.
The emotional contours created by the shifts in key are also captivating, offering ample joy in performance.
