Alberti bass was named after Domenico Alberti (1710-1740), who used it extensively, although he was not the first to use it. A well known example of Alberti bass is found at the beginning of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 16 in C major, K. 545:
Lightly Row
Music taken from Step By Step Piano Course The Fun Way Step 1
Lightly row, lightly row, happy on the boat we go.
Lightly row, lightly row, all of us now in a row.
Merrily we roll along. Merrily we sail along.
Lightly row, lightly row, all together row.
