I think that Mr. Parloff has an intuition about this piece that lends itself to an adaptation of one's own experiences. In my case I first heard K. 540 (interpreted by Mitsuko Uchida) while driving one very early cold winter Sunday morning. some 25 years ago, to the hospital where my wife was undergoing treatment for cancer. The evolution of mood from sadness/introspection to defiance to a final pinacle of "cri du coeur" and then in the last six bars to acceptance and finally to resolution, traces the evolution of my own experience during this time...my wife died in November of 1985.
Dear Mr. Weiner, thank you very much for sharing your moving thoughts on the meaning of Mozart's K. 540. Also, although 35 years have passed since her passing, my condolences on your loss.
@@michaelparloff1155 I suppose that each of us projects his own experiences on this piece so evocative and so seemingly personal. I do think Mozart demonstrates a depth of expression with this little piece that belies his reputation as a brilliant, glittering prodigy, but not much more. There is a good deal more, and his music has been and will be a precious inheritance for all succeeding generations. Thank you for your music videos...they are greatly appreciated.
That’s it. Very well expressed.

@@johnweiner What do you mean with "his reputation as a brilliant, glittering prodigy, but not much more"?
This adagio is about dying and final acceptance.
