    The chords throughout this piece are all heard in first inversion in order to make shifts between keys easy, however, each cadence is played in F major. Chords move through the circle of fifths starting on G and ending with Bb, with chords changing at the end of each statement on the last syllable. The use of the circle of fifths reflects the conflict happening on stage, giving the effect of a darkened mood, underlined with a sudden modulation to D minor. Figaro begins to lack comprehension which is portrayed through a modulation to A major, the corresponding false relation. A modulation to D major is heard as Susanna teases Figaro by saying ‘you are my servant, no?’ and brightens the mood.

    First of all, the piece is quite interesting as a prelude – an introductory piece of music as it start off with dynamic and vibrant sounds that include the whole ensemble.

    This movement begins with a beautiful love song until a turbulent middle sections rudely interrupts its dream-like reverie. The finale, Andante-Allegro, begins with a quiet, introspective introduction in the piano alone which then leads into an exuberant Allegro. At the Allegro, the violin breaks forth with ascending, slashing passages from its lowest to its highest register, creating a sense of drama and importance. However, then comes a playfulness that sneaks into the music almost without notice. And then after a rush of virtuosic passages from both violin and piano, the sonata comes to an explosive end.
