What is the Mozart Mixs opening and closing piano theme?
The theme is Mozart’s Gigue for keyboard – K. 574 On May 16th, 1789 Mozart noted down ‘a little gigue for keyboard’ in the notebook of K.I. Engel, court organist to the Saxon elector, ‘as a sign of true real friendship and brotherly love.’ The clever G major piece is supposed to be a witty tribute to the memory of Bach.
