Mozart's piano concerti were amongst my first classical music purchases and I never tire of them. A Mozart piano concerto is for me always something to turn to when I can't decide on anything else to listen to. That said, I was surprised how unfamiliar I was with the 25th concerto. Certainly I've given it several inattentive hearings over the years and could always recognize it but the other day I heard its rondo on the radio and a particular section of it struck me--in fact, I can't get it out of my head!
It's the section starting at 3:43.

To be specific, it's the piano melody that I find memorable especially the way the wind instruments restate it. The whole section until the main rondo theme returns is stunning.
