Composed in 1789. In this year, Mozart's last two piano sonatas, K. 570 in B-flat major and K. 576 in D major, were also composed. Additionally, the Variations on a Minuet by Duport, K. 573, was also composed in this year.

A dynamic line is woven through the combination of leaps and intervals of seconds and thirds. Where this line is presented by the left hand in the lower register, and the right hand sounds chords in the upper voice, a pleasant sense of sonorous richness is imparted. The piece then concludes as if progressing forward in unison between the left and right hands.
