Measure the Music: Mozart’s String Quartet in G Minor
By Jake Padilla
The 128th measure of the 1st violin section of W. A. Mozart’s String Quintet No. 3 in G Minor, K. 516: IV. Adagio – Allegro:
The measurement of a phrase is a space.
That space is concrete.
It’s the part that can be identified by the senses.
The time that happens in the space is all yours.
The pulse beats by you.
To take your time, you need only to play, childishly, foolishly, in the space.
