Adagio Gran Partita Mozart

"On the page it looked nothing! The beginning simple, almost comic. Just a pulse. Bassoons, 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... sweetened it into a phrase of such delight. This was no composition by a performing monkey. This was a music I had never heard. Filled with such longing, such unfulfillable longing. It seemed to me I was hearing the voice of God." Antonio Salieri in Peter Shaffer's "Amadeus".
