Mozart: the most beautiful piano music
Poise, precision and the nearest one can expect to get to perfection – Mozart's music is always fashioned with the skill of the master craftsman. But it is also imbued with a profound sense of humanity, often tinged with a moving hint of melancholy. Mozart was famed as a pianist – not least for his skills as an improviser – during his lifetime, and his works for the instrument (on its own, or in chamber music and concertos) is among his most beautiful and personal.
