The structural phenomena I found to be the most prevalent in the theme of this piece were cadences, tonality, and motive. Most of the cadences are clearly noted and easy to pick out. They are often accentuated by dynamic changes at the beginning of the new phrase following the completed cadence. The piece begins in a solid D major, but after the repeat/double bar at the end of measure 8, Mozart plays around in the dominant key for a few bars before returning once again to D major. Also of note, there are no tempo markings in the score, but the performer of the particular recording I listened to leans on the first beat of the last measures of phrases, thus creating the feel that the piece is slowing. The cadences feel much more final to me because of this.
Motive is a very important part of any theme - it gives the listener a solid foundation that is then elaborated upon in the variations, so a clear theme is essential. Initially, the motif in this piece is introduced and then repeated before continuing on to the short phrase that contains the tonality change. Finally, The theme is stated once more but in a shortened version for the last four bars of the tema.

If you are in the process of selecting a moving company, here are some points to consider:
§ Established Company
Check older copies of the Qwest Dex yellow pages. This will give you a good indication as to whom the established companies are.
§ Customer Service
Are you talking to an experienced representative or a girl Friday? This can make the difference between making sure the arrangements for your move are accurate. This is simple to determine, are you being asked intelligent relevant questions about your items and conditions or are you simply being quoted an hourly rate?
§ Insurance
What is the amount of the company’s general liability policy? Will the company send you documented proof? Do you have to pay extra for insurance coverage?
§ Repair/Replacement Policy
Will the company guarantee that they will repair or replace any items that their movers damage free of charge to you or will they pay you based upon $0.60 per pound?
§ Professional Full-Time Movers
Does the company use only full-time professional movers or do they utilize labor pool personnel and day laborers?
§ Written Confirmation
Will you receive a written confirmation that includes pricing via e-mail, fax or mail before the movers show up to move you?
§ Arrival Time
Will you receive a two (2) hour window of arrival for the movers or a simple: “we’ll be there sometime in the morning.”
