Composed in 1774. It consists of three movements.

First Movement

The first movement, in F major, is in Moderato 4/4 time. In the opening two measures, the tonic is sustained in the bass. The second theme is characterized by arpeggios. The development section (from m. 32) primarily develops material based on the exposition. Consequently, in this sonata movement, fermatas are observed at points within the exposition, development, and recapitulation sections. In the recapitulation (from m. 60), the first theme is also slightly modified.

Second Movement

The second movement, Adagio, is in 4/4 time and in B-flat major, the subdominant key of the first movement. Although written in ternary form, the middle section (from m. 17) does not introduce entirely new material but is based on a subsidiary theme from the first section. Throughout the movement, a scalar melody is primarily played over an accompaniment of arpeggiated chords.

Third Movement

The third movement is a Tempo di Minuetto in F major. It takes a form close to rondo form. The opening theme is presented in forms very similar to itself, or undergoes rhythmic variations.
