K. 62 3/8 Allegro A major 3:20
The performance difficulty is low due to the minimal hand crossing and wide leaps. Its structure is also relatively simple, with prominent regular sequences. From a formal perspective, a point of interest is that the order of the sections in the first half is reversed during the recapitulation. The modulation to the tonic in the second half is handled with material from the modulatory region of the first half, and the arpeggiated motive from measure 5 onwards, which appeared before the modulation in the first half, is moved further back, to after the return to the tonic. As a result, the overall form is a closed structure where the beginning and end of the piece correspond not only in key but also in material (though not in a perfectly symmetrical position).
