The opening notes F-E-Bb-A become also the starting point to elaborate the melodic material of my Recordare. In a similar manner, I also make reference to the Quartet K465 to elaborate the harmonic material of the introduction. However, the work takes off in its own direction, to establish its own identity harmonically and structurally.
