The finale begins with a cheerful theme that Mozart adapted for a song called “ Yearning for Spring,” perhaps a reflection of his hopes for the future. The contesting middle section introduces a graceful new theme that dreamily slips into a distant key, slowly winding its way back to a reprise of the opening section. ![]() The orchestra’s conclusion of the theme, however, introduces a powerful dissonance before bringing the theme to its conclusion. The pianist introduces a contrasting phrase that leads back to the beginning of the melody. The slow second movement has a simple ternary (A-B-A) structure it begins with a lovely melody introduced by the piano and then taken up by the orchestra. Mozart’s cadenza primarily revisits the second and first themes before ending with the traditional trill, a signal to the orchestra to bring the movement to a close. At the premiere Mozart would have improvised the cadenza on the spot, but when he later prepared the score for publication, he wrote down a version of the cadenza that other pianists could use. The orchestra and soloist then reprise the movement’s themes-including the last one this time-leading to the cadenza for the soloist alone. Changing key 20 times in a mere 60 measures, this development focuses on fragments of the first theme, which are overlapped and recombined with each other to great expressive effect.

Not only do I have control over all the sounds, I can master each component individually. So what I did is separate each component into its own midi track and combine the drumkits to create a mighty "hybrid" kit. I like the snare from the Heavy kit, but I also want the kick drum from East Bay, the crash cymbals from Smash, etc etc etc. ![]() They each have bits and pieces that sound good but none sound good as a whole IMO. ![]() So the drumkits that come with Garageband are ok. ![]()
