- Description
- Episode Description
- Popper paces the series well as he goes into a discussion of the composer, Mozart. He points out Mozarts versatility, saying that he composed symphonies, piano concertos, chamber music, church music and opera. Here again Popper spends a great deal of time at his own piano, now leaning forward to make some point, now letting his hands run gently over the keys as he talks. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
