Melody of Light and Shadow

The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between.
–Wolfgang Mozart

Photo Challenge, Cover Art: Mozart, the Pristine Piano Concerto

Mozart’s piano concerto #21 is to a fall evening’s mood as a pristine stream is to a summer’s day.  The piano opens as a “brilliant, quixotic protagonist,” one reviewer wrote,  which does not enter the scene readily, but instead “waits to be coaxed.”  Throughout, Mozart’s characteristic elegance and poise shines, transporting a listener to a place serene.
