01 / The first 30 seconds

30-second entrance

Do not reduce it to “light.” Hear how each phrase ends; Mozart’s clarity often lives in the ending.

Mood / situation

Morning, clarity, bright order without noise

Minute to hear first

00:00–00:45: count the breaths between phrases, not how familiar the tune is.

02 / LISTEN FOR

Three things to wait for

  1. Phrase endings landing lightly
  2. Symmetry under brightness
  3. Polite handoffs between inner voices

04 / VERSION

Version / performer information

Mozart suffers from slickness. Good versions have spring, but do not turn every smile into a wink.
