K. 40, Piano Concerto No. 3

Onto another partial Piano (or harpsichord) Concert.  The third movement was a C. P. E. Bach inspired work, whom Mozart said was an influncial master. How many of us seek out that influence? That one creative force that speaks to us. And, how can we let that influence transform us practically? That's my curse. I've attached myself to impractical influences.

Anyway, back to K. 40. Another nice piece. (Am I so bias that I have psyched myself out of not liking a work? I don't know.) For some reason, the first movement reminded me of Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos K. 448 (First movement). It didn't sound quite the same, but had that feel. It was mostly bright with just a hint of shadows. The second movement was like a peaceful set sighs, some discontent. And, the third, felt like various sets of waves. And ebb and flow of both clam and vibrant waters. The music surge forward with lurching reaches, and then collapsed back on itself, smoothing out the sand.
