Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 5 in G major, K. 283 / 189h, ( 1774) is a piano sonata in three movements:
This sonata is part of the earliest group of sonatas that Mozart published in the mid-1770s. The first movement is a sonata-allegro movement that is concise, with an economy of materials. The development section is a mere 18 measures long. The shorter length and moderate technical demands make it an ideal piece for early-advanced study and performance.
A typical performance takes twelve to eighteen ( Richter) minutes.
The work was written down during the visit Mozart paid to Munich for the production of his La finta giardiniera from late 1774 to the beginning of the following March.
