Tips on writing like mozart

I am a mozart fan and I want to write a sonata in his style any tips?

thanks

Be a genius.

Probably the best thing.

Short of that, listen to a TON of Mozart piano sonatas, and other classical composers.

Work on creating a memorable antecedent/consequent theme.  Mozart had a gift for strong, flowing, memorable melodic ideas--not too simple, not too complex.

Lay out a road map for composition.   The form:  sonata form?  Theme and variations?  Aria/Ternary?    Rondo (ABACA)?....

This assumes you understand classical forms, basic music theory, harmonic chord progressions, and have at least functional piano skills.

Be prepared to revise.   The first try will not work.  The second will be a little better....etc...

Study his works very closely and carefully. Then try and mimic it but not an exact mimic. I’d suggest going to IMSLP and downloading and printing your favorite works or pieces then print them out and staple each one together. Then study all that you love about it. What are the chords? What is the melody doing? What techniques are being used that you don’t understand? What do you not understand? Does modulation occur here? etc… this will take a lot of time but also makes it really drill into your head what makes Mozarts music Mozart. Anyways hope this helps!
