Great Mass In C Minor, K. 427. Also Mozart - Sonata For Organ And Orc  | Open: 05/05/13 Close: 05/05/13
Mozart's contrapuntal skill, although used to great advantage in string quartets, symphonies and operas, becomes showcased, so to speak, in complex fugues in choral sections of this Mass. In the soloists' movements Mozart calls for unusually demanding wide melodic leaps and other technical demands which impress the hearer not just by their difficulty but by their beauty.
