My contribution for this 18th Century challenge (with mistakes, of course🙄). It's been a pleasure, as always. Thank you very much Antonella for your attention and advice.

Hi everyone,
My contribution this final week is the last movement (Allegretto) from K330 by Mozart which I have just about managed to play from memory.
I found it challenging to retain as much of the detail and bring out contrast when playing from memory and there are still passages which are not practiced enough.It was really nice to work on however and i found it helped me to imagine the "Gallant" style discussed in the thread!
