The D minor. The one with the repeated notes at the start of it. Don't know the K number is this though.

He has composed 555 sonatas. I guess there are several in d minor. Repeated notes at the start ? Could be K141. Here it is :

That is also one of mine! I also like another d minor one, it is a burlesque, I think sounds like some Leopold Mozart
