"Mozart's slow movements, standing nicely on their own, allow us to focus on one overriding aspect of the composer's genius - his gift for spinning out a melodic line that gives the impression of great simplicity. Mozart's capacity for creating a seamless flow of melody never deserted him, and it is as strong in the instrumental works as in the vocal." - Shirley Fleming
