These works show an improvement in compositional technique over the sets for Paris (
K. 6–9) and London (
K. 10–15),[1] although like the previous sets, the keyboard part dominates and the violin may be considered optional.
Mozart composed all three early sets of accompanied sonatas while touring northwest Europe. These types of sonatas were not favored at home in Salzburg.[1] Mozart would not revisit this genre until 1777–78 on a trip to
Mannheim and Paris.
