With a manuscript copy found, as with so many other sonatas, in the library of Princess Amalia of Prussia, the King's sister, the Sonata in E minor, Wq. 65/30, bears the date 1756. As its key suggests, the opening Allegretto is gently reflective rather than ebullient. The Andante provides a contrast, with its key of G major, its accompanying quavers giving the impression of greater animation. The final Allegretto restores the original key, its principal theme, varied in repetition, punctuated by its descending leaps and varied descending arpeggios.
