Violin Sonata No. 24 in F major, K. 376, was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in Vienna during the summer of 1781. Like all other sonatas of Op. 2, this piece also has three movements.[1]

Later, this piece, along with three other sonatas by Mozart (violin sonatas Nos. 25 and 26 and piano sonata No. 17), were all transcribed for flute by Patrick Gallois.[2]

This sonata, along with five other ones as a collection (K. 296 and K. 377–380), were all dedicated to Josepha Barbara Auernhammer (Mozart's pupil), to whom he had also dedicated the Sonata for Two Pianos in D major, K. 448.[3]
