Violin Sonata No. 36 (Mozart)

The Sonata in F for Violin and Keyboard, K. 547, was completed in Vienna on July 10, 1788 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

The sonata is often nicknamed "For Beginners" and was completed two weeks after the similarly nicknamed piano sonata in C major, K. 545.

Unlike the previous few keyboard sonatas, where the violin played an equal role, this sonata is dominated by the keyboard part.

[1] There are three movements all in the tonic key of F major: The movements are ordered in a non-standard manner with the "slow" movement first and the expansive Allegro in sonata form placed second.

The sonata ends with a set of six variations on a simple theme.
