Mozart: Piano Sonata No. 16 in C major (Sonata Facile), K. 545 (complete)

The "Sonata Facile" is probably the most popular among all of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart&piano sonatas, and likely among his most famous works in general. Mozart originally called this sonata "a small sonata for beginners". As can be expected from Mozart, "sonata facile" (simple sonata) does not mean this is a musically simple work, in fact I think it is extremely beautiful, and I especially love the 2nd movement. Judging from this sonata&title, I&probably remain a beginner forever. The opening theme of the 1st movement (Allegro) is typical Mozart: a simple yet beautiful melody accompanied by an Alberti bass. A surprising thing in this movement is that the recapitulation begins in the subdominant F major, instead of the tonic C major.
