This piano sonata, specifically this 1st movement, is something all pianists will play or have already played (myself included). This sonata is also known as the "Sonata semplice", or "easy sonata". Mozart intended this sonata to be played by beginner pianists, but ironically, the sonata is meant for intermediate to advanced pianists (like myself).
I decided to arrange the entire 1st movement in 22edo/22-TET, one of my favorite microtonal tuning systems. Unlike meantone tunings, the fifth is tuned sharp (~709.091 cents), which simplifies 7-limit intervals while making 5-limit intervals more complicated. This is called superpyth (superpythagorean) temperament. A key characteristic of 22edo is it tempers out the septimal comma, 64/63 (like 12edo), but not the syntonic comma, 81/80, so wolves exist (though they are tempered to 11/8 and 16/11, which are more consonant than Pythagorean wolves). This is my first time arranging something in a non-meantone tuning, so tell me how I did!
