1 The dark power of sexual love (Don Giovanni), love's transforming force (Cosi fan Tutte), its strength for social disruption but personal reconciliation (The Marriage of Figaro), its purifying, spiritual nature (The Magic Flute and the andante of the twenty-first piano concerto), and the love of God (especially in the Mass in C minor), all these in their shades and varieties were given incomparable expression in his music.

2 Compare, for example, the shift in the significance of love even in such a great work as Goethe's Faust. It is much more prominent in the first part written in the late eighteenth century than in the second, written some 30 years later.
