Mozart: Fantasia for piano in C minor, K.475



Nope. I still haven't warmed to the Mozart Fantasias. The "form" (or lack thereof) just does not appeal to me. The music wanders around sparsely and gives me no sense that it's got a goal.

First listen ever to Beethoven's opus 132. The third movement is just heartwretching. Where has this music been all my life?

The first half of life is spent in longing for the second, the second half in regretting the first.

What a masterpiece and what a performance.
