In B flat major and the third of the set Mozart composed‚ the Piano Sonata (K. 281) opens with an Allegro in sonata form. Almost immediately after the restatement of the four-measure theme begins‚ Mozart moves away from the tonic toward the dominant‚ F major. An insistent repeated-note figure is the main feature of the secondary theme‚ which quickly gives way to a trilled closing motive.

The piece is mainly quite with development to a louder section in the middle‚ but ends softly. The exposition of the piece demonstrates the quietness that is seen‚ but contains a small louder section. The recapitulation
