His passing was announced by Milan’s La Scala opera house on March 23. Read more >>

Various editions assign different numberings to Mozart's sonatas; it would be most useful if they were referred to by their Köchel catalog numbers (e.g., K. 332).

No. 4 in E flat major, K. 282
No. 16 in C major, K. 545
No. 5 in G major, K. 283
No. 2 in F major, K. 280
No. 1 in C major, K. 279
No. 7 in C major, K. 309
No. 9 in D major, K. 311
No. 11 in A major, K. 331
No. 17 in B flat major, K. 570
No. 3 in B flat major, K. 281
No. 10 in C major, K. 330
No. 12 in F major, K. 332
No. 15 in F major, K. 533/494
No. 8 in A minor, K. 310
No. 14 in C minor, K. 457
No. 13 in B flat major, K. 333
No. 6 in D major, K. 284
No. 18 in D major, K. 576

It's really subjective. For example, K. 284, K. 309, K. 311, and K 570 are on the DipABRSM syllabus, while K. 310, K. 457, K. 533, and K. 576 are on the LRSM syllabus, but some people on this forum (including me) consider K. 284 more difficult than most of Mozart's sonatas, and definitely not in the class of K. 309, K. 570, and K. 311.

It all happens on Discworld, where greed and ignorance influence human behavior... and perfectly ordinary people occasionally act like raving idiots.

A world, in short, totally unlike our own.

I think that sonata no.10 k.330 is not difficult.
It is extremely pianistic.
