Sonata in D major
Allegro di molto
The Romanesca in the first half is a leaping variant and truncated in order to modulate; see the Romanesca schema description for a comparison to KV 107 I. Interestingly, where the A section uses a Quiescenza the A’ section instead uses an arpeggiated dominant seventh (V7) to prepare a cadence to the tonic (I).

Minuetto
The major section uses a Do-Re-Mi as an opening gesture, and the minor section uses an Aprile as a second theme. The first half of the major section ends with a half cadence in the style typical of the late eighteenth century: it leaps directly from ➀ to ➄ instead of relying on the standard bass, and it includes a trill on ➌.
