(2) In the recapitulation, what does the presence of the unusual key for the first theme change about the task of the transition between the first and second themes? The relationship between F and C major is the same.as the relationship between C and G major— Mozart could have simply used the same transition, and let it modulate from F to C. (8) Choose one motive that is important in this pieee, and briefly describe it. Explain where the motive appears and how it is developed.
