Mozart's Secret Passion
Mozart loved to hang out at the kegelstatt, or bowling alley. The story goes that he got the idea for a piece of music while bowling. And the "Kegelstatt" trio was born. Turns out, modern scholars don't think the story was true, but the name has stuck. Today, we'll hear the "Kegelstatt" trio performed by the Prima Trio in Palm Beach, Florida.
