The beginning simple, almost comic. Just a pulse – bassoons and basset horns – like a rusty squeezebox. And then suddenly, high above it, an oboe, a single note, hanging there unwavering, until a clarinet took it over and sweetened it into a phrase of such delight! This was a music I’d never heard. Filled with such longing, such unfulfillable longing. It seemed to me that I was hearing the voice of God.

[MsJimmysgirl]

There is a reason that Mozart is the most popular composer of all time based on how many people visit his wikipedia page. This is the most simple but beautiful of all of his pieces.

[idaslapter]

this is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever created.

[rugfixr]

That opening oboe always bring tears to my eyes

[docearth]

My favorite Mozart composition. Stirs the soul.

[irritablearchitect]

I've always imagined that this piece was about a walk in the forest; the wind, the trees, the birds, the insects, all having their voices heard, in one big synchronous mashup. Beautiful does not begin to describe it.

[voxveritatis]

Tears rolling down my face....not caused by sadness or depression but by an unutterable feeling of longing and, at the same time, a profound accomplishment. Mozart is the one.

[atleehickerson]

Quite literally, the best piece of art ever made.

[greedisgood]

Something about this piece that just says "its gonna be alright" whatever demons clutter your soul and hide your path. God will be on the other side waiting on you with a patient smile and everlasting compassion. 😢😢😢

[ronaldweckessar]

I have the nerve --yes, the audacity-- to proclaim that Mozart is God's greatest musical gift to mankind.

[k.s.naturalist]

It is as beautiful as two and a half century ago.. Mozart lives on!

[gam]

The pure beauty of this piece brings tears. I simply cannot hear it too many times.

[jimbus]

Absolutely divine. This music is so profound and genius it brings me to tears. It saddens me to think that pop stars with their meaningless 4 chord cyclical structure and drab melody could possibly get more credit than an absolute genius in our world. These were some of Mozart’s favourite instruments to write with. This music is beyond words. Stunning playing

[elainebmack]

The Gran Partita is not performed very often. I'd much rather hear this than any of the symphonies. This movement in particular absolutely slays me every time I hear it.

[chetananagavajara]

Memorable line from “ Amadeus”, when Salieri describes how this heavenly music torments him.

[copperdoor]

The most beautiful music the world has ever produced.

[AarnessMusic]

Most beautiful thing I've ever heard. When I was ten I heard this in Amadeus. I'm forty seven and it's still the most beautiful thing I've ever heard

[SB-pkul]

To me it sounds like The Universe’s humming a melody to bless humanity.

[ForceOfNorway]

Balsam to the soul. It is remarkable how well outstanding musicians can interpret the greatest composer of all time. BRAVO!
