Violin Sonata no. 32 in B flat major, K.454

Violin Sonata No. 32 in B♭ major (K. 454) is a composition by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It was completed in Vienna on 21 April 1784, and was published by Christoph Torricella in a group of three sonatas (together with the piano sonatas K. 284 and K. 333).

According to a story told by his widow Constanze Mozart, the Emperor Joseph II saw the empty sheet music through his opera glasses and sent for the composer with his manuscript, at which time Mozart had to confess the truth, although that is likely to have amazed the monarch rather than cause his irritation.

The work consists of three movements:
