Alberti Bass
This piece features a variation on the broken chord style. The left hand is playing an Alberti Bass. This is a common way of playing an accompaniment in Classical music, especially in pieces by Mozart, Haydn, Czerny and Beethoven. Practice the left hand by itself until you can play it comfortably before adding the melody. Notice that the first section is repeated.
