Oh, do I love this movement (and Mitsuko Uchida’s playing).

It’s … it’s … it’s like a concerto within a concerto!

If you can read music, it’s well worth grabbing a score and following along. What’s always surprised me is how something so simple on the page is so dense and complex to the ear: Mozart’s genius, in full flow when he was all of 21. *sigh*

I know you are a proponent of the funk JB so might I suggest a little Kool & The Gang – Summer Madness. It’s a clear and beautiful 80-degree Summer day here in Seattle and this feels fitting. Just lay back and forget about all our budget and policy woes for a bit…
