[Easier Level] Simple Mozart piano pieces. Recommended Mozart pieces (21–30)
Fantasia in D minor, K. 397Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Among Mozart’s fantasies, the Fantasy in D minor, K.
397 is especially popular.
Many listeners have surely been captivated by its beautifully melancholic main theme.
As for difficulty, it’s probably best suited to intermediate players.
It may sound as though a beginner could manage it, but that’s the catch.
While the fast passages are limited, without a solid sense of musical expression, it won’t make for a good performance.
That said, it’s not beyond a beginner’s reach, so it’s also recommended as a study piece to work on regularly.
Piano Concerto No. 23 in A major, K. 488 – II. MovementWolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Among Classical-era piano works, Mozart’s Piano Concertos are especially beloved.
Here, I’d like to introduce the second movement from his Piano Concerto No.
23 in A major, K.
488.
This piece, classified as an Adagio, is notable for its melody that blends clarity with a sense of pathos.
Since the music was sketched from the piano part, its structure showcases the instrument’s strengths to striking effect.
Although not a short work, it isn’t constructed in a way that demands great stamina, so even beginners should be able to perform it without much difficulty.

Adagio and Fugue, K. 546Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
If you’re thinking about performing as a duo in a recital, we recommend Adagio and Fugue, K.
546.
As the title suggests, this piece is structured around an Adagio and a Fugue.
The Adagio demands strong expressive ability and rhythmic precision, yet it tends to be approachable for beginners who find fingerwork challenging.
Performing solo can be nerve‑racking, so making your debut by entering with this piece as a duo is a great option.
Be sure to check it out.
In conclusion
Mozart’s works range widely from easy to difficult.
The pieces introduced here are all relatively approachable.
While there are passages that demand delicate expressiveness, as long as you have basic performance technique, with practice you will certainly be able to play them.
Let’s refine our piano skills while immersing ourselves in Mozart’s beautiful world.
