Mozart, K.42a Symphony in F, "Number 43," Allegro maestoso - I like the main theme of this movement very much, it has a great luster too it, very grand, very כבוד יהוה - I am becoming convinced that much of the joy of classical music listening comes from a willingness to concentrate on the form of a piece, the conscious noting of particular themes and the expectation on a moment-by-moment basis of their returning, this opening movement, if released as a pop song would prove very confusing structurally; Andante - the contrast between the pizzicatti texture of the violins and the opening theme is a surprise; Menuetto and Trio - middle section is oddly insistent, main melodic material rockets up, rather chromatic at points; Allegro - pretty variable thematically it seemed
Mozart, K.43, Symphony No. 6 in F, Allegro - there's something that sounds like an organ in this piece, probably one of the flutes or the oboes, it's just one note, but when it comes in, it sounds very strange to my ear; Andante - you have instruments "turning into one another" in the main theme frequently (taking up certain lines abandoned certain instruments), variations in the closing section too on the main theme; Minuet - a pretty falling or rising legato line, interesting piece; Allegro - boyant piece, alright
Mozart, K.62, March in D, drum rhythym sort of interesting, used very judiciously, otherwise found it uninteresting
Mozart, K.34, Offertory in C, Scande Coeli limina, Part 1 - alright, Part 2 - tricky organ part fun
