Kleine Gigue in G, K. 574

Kleine Gigue in G major, K. 574, is a composition for solo piano by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart during his stay in Leipzig.

It was directly written into the notebook of Leipzig court organist Carl Immanuel Engel [de].

It is often cited as a tribute by Mozart to J. S. Bach, although many scholars have likened it to Handel's Gigue from the Suite No.

The bass line in the last four bars of the first half, and its transposed repetition in the second half before the coda, are notable for including all tones of the chromatic scale.

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky based the opening movement of his Mozartiana orchestral suite on this work.
