Exploring Music Playlist: Mozart: Bright Lights, Big City

This cosmopolitan city opened Mozart’s eyes and ears to a creative world that he expresses so beautifully in his music. This week we will hear some of his greatest symphonies, piano concertos and operas all composed while he was living in Vienna.
