Two good pieces of music

I am rather old and my tastes run to even older. Not in everything but in music.  We just bought a copy of "This Land is Your Land - The Folk Years" and we have enjoyed it very much.  But except for songs and hymns from my early years, I tend to most enjoy classical music.


As I have written, Lynn deeply likes the movie "Strangers in Good Company" https://smile.amazon.com/s?k=strangers+in+good+company+movie&crid=5R0V39XZNRFZ 

Watching that movie introduced me to Schubert 148 D.897.

I have listened to the Eggner Trio You Tube presentation many times.  I find it both calming and uplifting.  


We have a recording of Mozart's Early Symphonies.  He wrote good music at age 5!!!!! By the time he was 16, he had written a great deal of music, including his Symphony #20 K133.

The Schubert piece speaks of calm appreciation and beauty while the Mozart is energizing and active.  It starts with a striking and memorable set of three blasts. If you want a lift, listen to his Symphony #20.
