Music to relax after electioneering: Mozart Piano Concerto 21 (Elvira Madigan)

Today the formal election campaign  - now known to political parties as the "short campaign" in recognition of the fact that we have in practice been campaigning for weeks - finally gets under way, with David Cameron launching the Conservative campaign in Manchester.

I think both I and a lot of other people are going to need to relax when we get home after a day's electioneering.

So I will be posting some relaxing music here to hit at about 9pm - roughly when I expect to get home from campaigning - each evening during the election.

We'll start with Mozart's 21st Piano concerto, sometimes known as "Elvira Madigan" because nearly fifty years ago the second movement of this wonderful piece of music was used in the soundtrack of a  film by that name. I'd say there is a good chance that the name "Elvira Madigan" will be remembered mainly as a nickname for this piece of music long after the film is forgotten.



And by the way, SUPPORT OPTION ONE.
