My favorite Mozart work and up with my favorite songs of all time. All three movements are amazing, but how he weaves and builds everything to a climax in the development leading to the recap is just goosebump city for me. I know what's coming, but it still bowls me over. Nobody sounds as "perfect" as mozart to me. I don't know what perfect means in regards to music, but after hearing his songs I just think "perfect" !!!

I can’t imagine a Vietnam veteran who could listen to that without losing it. I was never in the war, but I’ve had to turn it off a couple of times to avoid falling apart. I admit it.
