22:09 Mozart’s Adagio K356 (with animated commentary)
The topic of this video is Mozart’s Adagio for Glass Harmonica of 1791, composed during the hectic final year of its composer’s short life.
The video explains the historical context of the music, the origins of this mysterious instrument as a technological wonder of late
18th century, and its association with supernatural and melancholy effects. Mozart’s short work is explained within the broader setting
of his frenzied activities in 1791 and his tragic untimely death.
