Description
Mozart composed his Adagio in B minor, K540 at a time when his financial situation was steadily deteriorating. The war against the Turks was constraining the Viennese people's interest in music -- works were not commissioned and concerts did not take place. It was of no matter that Mozart had shortly before (in 1787) been appointed a salaried Kammer-Kompositeur. Nevertheless, in this year,he composed several of his most important works: the Coronation Concerto, K537, the three late symphonies, and several piano trios. And he also composed this tender Adagio in B minor with its captivating expressiveness.
