It wasn't even a "so bad it's good" situation, it was much worse, and the poor dude never recovered

LIKE A ROCK (1986): Mid-80s production traits and some average material make this a Bob Seger LP of the time rather than one of lasting resonance.

A minuet was normally an elegant, courtly dance. You’d expect something refined and graceful.
Instead, Mozart makes this one sound almost angry and threatening.
The outer Menuetto is in G minor, with heavy accents and aggressive contrapuntal writing. Then suddenly:
G major.
That’s the Trio you’re looking at/listening to. It feels like someone opened a window and let sunlight into a dark room. The Trio is essentially the symphony’s one genuine oasis of calm.

Circa 1976
