A piano sonata believed to have been composed between 1774 and 1776, consisting of three movements.

First Movement

The first movement is in E-flat major, in 3/4 time, marked Allegro moderato. The first theme is characterized by its lively rhythm. Notably, within the exposition, a one-measure Adagio with a fermata is inserted, followed by a short ornamental passage. In the development section (from measure 59), the first theme is developed initially, followed by the second theme. The recapitulation (from measure 98) also features the insertion of a one-measure Adagio with a fermata, followed by a short ornamental passage, similar to the exposition.

Second Movement

The second movement is a Minuet. It is in E-flat major, like the first movement, and the Trio is written in the parallel minor, E-flat minor. Both the middle section of the Minuet itself and the Trio are notably rich in chromaticism.

Third Movement

The finale of the third movement is in E-flat major, in 2/4 time, marked Presto. It is in rondo form, and its rondo theme is varied with increasingly finer rhythms each time it reappears, gaining vivacity towards the end of the piece. The entire movement begins with a theme played alternately by the left and right hands, as if in a conversation. Furthermore, similar to the exposition of the first movement, fermatas are found in measures 92 and 94.
