About This Song
About "Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 12 in A Major, K. 414: I. Allegro" by Daniel Barenboim
A Major bursts forth with operatic confidence, the piano striding like a lead actor onto a sunlit stage. Barenboim balances bravado with wit, letting orchestral tuttis swell and recede. The Allegro's energy is infectious, but listen closely: a wistful turn of phrase keeps the joy from feeling naive.
