What I'm Listening to This Week...

This week, I'm loving Mozart. I mean, I love him most all weeks (unless being forced to analyze him), but especially this week. So I thought I'd share a few thoughts.

This piece, Clarinet Concerto in A Major, K 62,2 was written in 1791. It was one of Mozart's final completed works before dying in December of that same year. It has three movements (this is the second, the Adagio (slow).

I typically think of fast, technically difficult "show off" type pieces when I think of Mozart and this is simply just beautiful. I could listen to this all day.

Mozart only lived to be thirty-five. Can you imagine how much more vast his musical output would have been if he had lived even just one more decade?
