K.533 in F major. My mother used to play this when I was a little kid :) Such a refreshingly simple but indeed mature piece.

I really like K. 284, 310, 311, 330, 332, 457, 533 and the rest too :P But for a favorite... at the moment I'd have to go for 284, though that may change tomorrow.
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.

Hmm, the only one I've studied is K. 331, so for now I'll go with that one... But they are all excellent pieces and I hope to study more of them, and maybe restudy K. 331 when I get to college and can relax a little...

Ridiculously too small sample size of course. Haven't calculated it, but p is probably close to 1.

although I tend to think mozart is very unsophistocated, I will go with K. 281. With most of the repetoire that I study, they eventually become my favorite pieces in the world. I guess that is starting to happen to K. 280 since I am currently studying it. I used to love Mozart when spent hours listening to Glenn Gould play the sonatas. Back then I was just very impressed by how fast he could play. Now I see the deeper meaning in his interpretations.
