Sonatina in F Major, Op. 168, No. 1 (1/3)

Sonatine - Sonata - Sonate - I : Moderato cantabile

This Moderato cantabile is the first movement of this Sonatina in F Major by Anton Diabelli.

It features the traditional Classical sonatina form :

Mm. 1-12 : Exposition of the first theme in F Major (mm. 1-7) and then the second theme in the dominant key of C Major (mm. 8-12)
Mm. 13-24 : Development starting in G minor and eventually modulating back to F Major
Mm. 25-35 : Recapitulation this time with both the first and second themes in F Major
Mm. 36-end : Codetta reinforcing the main key of F Major

This sonatina movement is appropriate for Grade 4 pianists.

Please take note that in measure 19, some editors show a D as the third note of the left hand while some others (as we do) have an F.

Duration : 01:54
