One of the six pieces written in Munich in 1775 for Baron Dürnitz. Like the first sonata, all movements are in sonata form. Furthermore, it blends Baroque idioms with new idioms for the fortepiano.

In this work, the second movement, Adagio, sung to a Siciliano-like rhythm, is particularly beautiful. Its first theme has a distinctive phrase structure. While themes of this era are often structured as "4 measures + 4 measures," in this piece, it is "3 + 2 + 3." Moreover, in the recapitulation, the middle two measures are omitted. This reveals Mozart's boldness in not being bound by convention.

※For the tonalities of Sonatas No. 1 to No. 6, please refer to the commentary for Sonata No. 1.
