MISCELLANEOUS PIANO WORKS OF MOZART
Played by ETHEL BARTLETT
Adagio in B Minor
Minuet
THESE, two among many detached short pieces of Mozart, show what the strength of personality can achieve in a few bars. The slow piece written near the end of the composer's life, strikes us at once by its tinge of melancholy and romantic freedom. The Minuet is a delightful little chromatic (coloured) essay, with lots of flats and sharps, making rich harmony in the lissom life of the piece.
