 Rondo a capriccio in G major, Op. 129 ‘Rage over a lost penny'
 Rondo in A major, WoO 49

 Two German Dances, Hess 67: Allegro and Da Capo the "Deutscher"

"This is truly one of the most charming humorous piano works ever written, and Jando turns in a spirited performance that misses none of the work's zany rambunctiousness, and none of its rich colors. They are charming pieces that divulge a Mozartean flavor, though the sonic power in the openings of several of the Minuets may cause you to doubt the latter observation. Jando renders them all with panache and grace, fully capturing their light beauties and moments of muscle. Naxos lavishes Jando with excellent sound here and Keith Anderson, as usual, provides informative notes. A thoroughly charming disc."
