The second part of the latest Mozart trilogy by pianist Paul Badura-Skoda on the period fortepiano is entirely characterized by tragedy. The sequence of tragic minor works by Mozart during his Vienna years, concluding with the unfinished Requiem of 1791, include the Fantasias in c, KV 475 and d, KV 397 as well as the subdued and moving Adagio in B minor: lamenting, menacing, but also, typifying Mozart, glorifying and conciliatory notes – laughing amongst tears. His last Piano Sonata in D major, by contrast, links cheerful elegance to polyphonic structural depth and outshines the previous gloom.
