About the piece

A four-hand sonata of the kind Diabelli wrote in quantity, typically with one part considerably easier than the other so that a teacher and pupil, or a parent and child, could play together. The device is practical and generous: the beginner gets a manageable line while hearing a full musical texture, which is far more encouraging than practising alone.
