Classical music to fill half an hour

An eclectic mix of music, including Mozart's sprightly Sonata in F, K280, and reflections upon a winter's evening by Nadia Boulanger, along with music by Scott Joplin and Vivaldi.

Mozart's sprightly Sonata in F K280 and a timely reflection upon a winter's evening by Nadia Boulanger in tonight's Mixtape. We've a Modest Lover's madrigal by Barbara Strozzi and a hypnotic Turkish makam too, and mouse-like scurrying with the scherzo from Mendelssohn's Octet Op.20. Then there's a carefree stroll through Scott Joplin's rag Eugenia, and to close, the heart-warming Allegro from Vivaldi's L'Amoroso Concerto RV.271.
