K. 29, Sonata in D

K. 29, Sonata in D

All but K. 26 of The Hague Violin Sonata’s are two movements.  The first element that struck me about K. 29 was a slower tempo version melody of the 2nd allegro from K. 14.  It called out from the backdrop in the first movement.  This K. 14 melody is the one that has stayed strongest in my head from all these earlier sonatas.  (That does not necessarily mean it was my favorite.)  Why particular melodies stay in one’s head baffles me.  For the most part, the first movement conjures relaxed feelings, like a lazy Sunday afternoon.  The second movement starts with a daydreaming hopefulness.  Then, in bipolar manner, hopeful ponderings alternate with ‘what if’ worries.
