The Violin Sonata in E Flat was written when Mozart was in his early 20s. He was trying to find a job and was writing music as calling cards to wealthy people so that they might employ him. This two-movement sonata is the real essence of chamber music. It's not really written with an audience in mind, but very much for the enjoyment of the players.
