Week 2 Thread: The Era of Haydn and Mozart!
Welcome to the Main Thread for the third week of "Mozart & Haydn - Music from the 18th Century" challenge!

This week, we will talk about the different ways composers were trained during the 18th century and how they could achieve such high productivity through schemas and patterns
Look at a different piece by the same composer you are studying and try to compare the music to the new piece you are practicing now.
If you are ready, post a short clip of the patterns you found in your music! One of the ways we grow is through feedback and self-reflection.
Pick a piece from the suggested repertoire according to your level or share any piece written during the 18th century that you have been working on!
If you want to describe your process, feel free to use the following template.

Hi everyone, arriving a little late to this challenge. I have worked on a Mozart piece for the first time in a few years and wanted to post a short update. It’s the final movement from Sonata in C Maj K330. Trying to get my left hand to articulate was a challenge and getting better contrast in dynamics will be my focus over the next few days. I also hope to memorize one piece this month!
