Thank you! 🙏 --- The Sonata No. 16 in C major, K. 545, is a piece of music for solo piano. It was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. On 26 June 1788, he added the piece to his catalogue as “a little Piano Sonata for beginners“. He may have written the piece for a pupil. If he did, that pupil is not known. In the end, the story behind the sonata is a mystery. On 2 August 1788 Mozart wrote a letter to his sister Nannerl. She was living in Salzburg. He had sent her some pieces for the piano. He wrote, “Indeed you have every reason to be vexed with me! But will you really be so, when you receive by this mail coach my very latest compositions for the keyboard? Surely not! This, I hope, will make everything all right again.“ This passage might refer to the Sonata in C. But it may refer to other keyboard compositions Mozart wrote the same year. The manuscript is lost. The piece was not published during Mozart’s lifetime. It was first published in February 1805 by the Bureau des arts et d’Industrie in Vienna. It was titled “Sonate facile pour le pianoforte“ (English: Easy Sonata for the piano). At least three more editions were published within a short time.
