Mozart Sonata no. 8 in A minor, mvt 1: Signals and Suspensions

Pianist Henrik Kilhamn goes through Mozart's A minor sonata's first movement in depth. It revolves around a signal rhythm as the first subject and "moto perpetuo" rolling 16th notes as the 2nd subject, and the way Mozart integrates all elements through the course of the movement - effortless but nonetheless original - is a testamony to his genius.
