Here, "Divertimento" refers to a small-scale sonata.

It consists of six pieces, from No. 1 to No. 6. It was dedicated to Maria Anna, daughter of Maria Theresa. It has an educational purpose, arranged so that the difficulty gradually increases. Composed to allow the study of technique, harmony, and work structure without becoming overly complex, it is a highly accomplished collection for educational use. It demonstrates an added depth to the galant style, utilizing ornamentation and trills.
