Keyboard sonatas with violin were perfectly suited to the galant style of the mid-18th century and were soon being written everywhere, Johann Christian Bach and his London cohort Carl Friedrich Abel becoming preeminent in the genre. Mozart was a virtuoso performer on both instruments and his father refers to such sonatas as the beginnings of his son’s compositions. Leila Schayegh and Edoardo Torbianelli put Mozart's sonatas into context with music by his immediate predecessors and contemporaries.
