I adore Mozart - he is endlessly fascinating
To me, he and Bach are the greatest of all.
Can anyone recommend any really close analyses of this piano concerti or string quartets.
I started to write a personal commentary on K421 which begins like this:
Each instrument has a voice. The first violin is heard above the others, high and controlled, on the tonic. Its first theme has simplicity, decisiveness, delicacy, seriousness, a slightly plaintive tone. The first’s voice is graceful, dare I say feminine, but confident and poised, having more to say than the others. The first’s character is charming – you would like to be with ‘her’ – to please her. In bar 5 she strikes an urgent note, however, high-pitched, indicating that this dialogue will be passionate at times
Each of the four is wonderfully sensitive to the others, but in particular they seem to love the first violin, deferring to her moods (which are changeable) and assertions – sometimes she is very definite and forceful, at other times light as gossamer, but she is always graceful and beautiful.
I wonder if I should go on with it...... I'm not certain if it has any use except to me
