About this playlist

While skilled in the production of fast flurries of notes, Mozart wasn't only an expert in effervescent, sprightly music. His melodic genius is also present in the deliberate, gorgeous sections of pieces that bear the “adagio” tempo marking. Luxuriate in the slower movements of classic Mozart compositions like the Requiem, the first Violin Concerto, and Piano Concerto No. 23 with this mix.
