This Prelude in D Major, K 15o by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is part of the London Notebook (London, 1765).

This score of Mozart's K 15o is an Urtext edition based on the above-mentioned source.

The title Prelude does NOT appear in the source and is thus editorial.

Moreover, this score contains suggestions for realizing the ornaments in accordance with the performance practice of the early Classical period.

These ornaments are trills (measure 8) : trills are played on the beat, and they begin on the upper auxiliary note. More or less repercussions may be added depending on the player's ability.

Please note also that the G sharp in measure 14 is editorial (first beat, right hand).

Young Wolfgang was only 8 years old when he composed this work!
