Your Top 5 Favorite Mozart Works

[USMC1960s]

Of ALL Mozart's works, which are your five favorites?

As mentioned by TheGSMoeller on my thread yesterday about Mozart piano concertos, I thought it would be a good idea too, to ask for your top 5 by Mozart, of ALL his works.

Thanks again in advance, much appreciated.

[Drasko]

Così fan tutte K588
Great Mass in C minor K427
Piano Concerto No. 23 in A major K488
Piano Concerto No. 24 in C minor K491
Adagio and Fugue in C minor K546

[springrite]

Don Giovanni
Clarinet Quintet
PC 24
Figaro

[Sergeant Rock]

The Magic Flute
Piano Concerto No. 21 C major K.466
Symphony No. 25 G minor K.183
Requiem in D minor
Symphony No. 34 C major K. 338

[amw]

In order, ish

String Quintet No. 4 G minor
Piano Concerto No. 27 Bb major
Clarinet Concerto A major
Violin Sonata No. 21 E minor
String Quintet No. 3 C major
Symphony No. 38 D major

For the top 5 "one per genre", leave out the C major quintet. It so happens in a "favourites" order it would come ahead of the Prague Symphony.

[Florestan]

This is impossible. Absolutely impossible. Top 50 would be more appropriate a number. 

Anyway, today's list

Clarinet Concerto
Violin Concerto No. 4
Kegelstatt Trio
Piano Sonata K 310/300d
Per questa bella mano, concert aria with double bass obbligato. K 612

[springrite]

This is impossible. Absolutely impossible.

Just for you: you may list your top 626 favourite works!

[kishnevi]

Nozze di Figaro
Piano Concerto 21
"Dissonance" Quartet

Symphony 41

[Ken B]

Sinfonia Concertante K364  This is an easy first choice.
Other possibilities: Piano and wind quintet K452,  pcs 20, 21,23 and 24, Cosi Flute, Gran Partita. When I was younger Sym 40 was a clear choice, but no longer.

[TheGSMoeller]

Symphony 25
Symphony 38
Magic Flute
PC 22
Adagio and Fugue K.546
Serenaded 10 "Gran Partita"

oops, did I choose six? 

[Ken B]

Interesting that 41 seems the most popular pick. Considering how many here like the dark heavy bombastic battleship symphonies that surprises me. In a good way! I think these days 39 is my favorite of the symphonies.

I think tomorrow at work will be a Spotify Mozart day.

Mozart wrote absolutely NO bombastic music (once you get past the first few symphonies)
and actually..........I don't know of any bombastic music at all that isn't Karl Jenkins.
