Musicology:

Sonata in A, K.24, L.495
Key: A
Year: 1738-39
Genre: Sonata
Pr. Instrument: Harpsichord

This single-movement keyboard sonata cogently presents a succession of seemingly disparate ideas. Much of the music features dashing toccata-like lines that make convincing and sometimes comical use of rushing scales and repeated notes, and there are also some lyrically contemplative sections that offset the rushing.
