A piano transcription of the Andante in F major, "For the Barrel of a Little Organ" (4 May 1791).
"This is the last of Mozart's three pieces for mechanical organ. It is a rondo in A-B-A-C-A-B-A form of considerable proportion and elaborate filigree. While Mozart notated the previous two works on four staves (clefs: three treble, one bass) like string quartet music, he notated this piece on three staves (all treble clefs); he nonetheless retained a four-voiced texture, which gives the work a diamondlike depth in its concentrated aural space. The wealth of ornamentation and passage-work must have come off splendidly on the mechanical organ, and it would have borne the amount of repeated listening the piece must have had in the Müller Gallery." Zaslaw and Cowdery ,p. 326.
