The finale of Mozart’s Sonata No. 4, K. 282, is an Allegro in E-flat major and two-quarter time. A short pickup leads into a lively theme whose dotted rhythm and compact replies contrast with longer running passages. Both large sections repeat. The music frequently shifts between spare accompaniment, broken-chord patterns, and fuller chordal exchanges, giving the finale an energetic but varied texture.
Opening theme: The upper melody begins with a small rising gesture and a dotted reply. The left hand punctuates the phrase with short chords and rests. Quick upper runs soon extend the melody, while the accompaniment becomes more continuous. The music alternates light, detached notes with smooth groups, then gathers into a more sustained passage before the contrasting idea arrives.
Secondary material: A quieter upper line appears above a regular lower pattern. Dotted figures and small ornaments decorate its phrases. Broader rolled chords interrupt the flow, followed by short replies and renewed running motion. The hands alternate between fuller harmony and lighter melodic activity. The closing passage continues onto the next page, where a compact cadence reaches the first repeat sign.
Middle section: A new pickup introduces a related figure in a different harmonic setting. The upper hand repeats short gestures while the bass changes underneath. The texture then becomes more insistent, with displaced upper chords and a continuous lower line. Moving figures pass through changing registers, and the music gradually prepares the return of the principal theme.
Return: The opening idea comes back with its familiar dotted rhythm and quick replies. Running passages connect it to the secondary material, now reshaped within the home key. The alternation of ornamented melody, broken accompaniment, and broader chords remains central to the texture. Small changes in register and harmonic direction give the return a different route to its close.
Closing passage: The final page extends the exchange between upper runs and lower support. Fuller chords add emphasis, while short rests separate the last gestures. A firm cadence completes the second large section and its repeat.
Interesting fact: The finale’s opening pickup is echoed at the start of the middle section, linking the two repeated halves with the same small rhythmic gesture.
