Can anyone recommend any Mozart Piano Sonata that is easy and can be learned in just 2 days?

Two days is too fast, in my opinion, for a thorough learning. If you need a piece for a job (reception, wedding background, etc...), then you'll be able to spot the sonatas that are sight readable; slow movements work well for these events.

For a concert, give yourself plenty of time. Mozart is easy to read, but difficult to play well.

You CAN learn to play the piano and compose in a fun and effective way.

Gee, how can one takes Mozart so lightly? Even his facile sonata would take some work to play "well". Remeber, his work could sound simple but never easy to play well.

You're just setting yourself up for failure. Why not try a shorter work? One of the fantasies perhaps.

Learned in 2 days by whom? The annals of piano are full of tales of pianists who, aware that it could be their big break on the way up, learned this, that and the other major concerto in 2 days (usually to cover for a sick colleague, of course). So I suppose on that basis the answer to the original question is 'any of them'.
Instrumentalists are all wannabe singers. Discuss.

I don't think that someone in that situation would post on an online forum to get advice from random music lovers. Firstly, there's no time to waste, and secondly, you would think they'd be in a position to judge for themselves. Not to mention, I don't think anyone gets their first big break playing a Mozart sonata...

Take Your Seat! Trifonov Plays Brahms in Berlin

“He has everything and more – tenderness and also the demonic element. I never heard anything like that,” as Martha Argerich once said of Daniil Trifonov. To celebrate the end of the year, the star pianist performs Johannes Brahms’s monumental Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Philharmoniker and Kirill Petrenko on December 31.
