Beethoven didn’t do things by halves and the ‘heroic’ symphony was a musical game changer that outraged audiences with its wild emotional extremes. Next to it, Mozart’s Piano Concerto at first seems a model of politeness, but then the slow movement plunges the listener into a world that’s almost heartbreakingly beautiful, before finishing with pure joy.
