I’m genuinely curious why you don’t want to hear this. I just listened to it on Youtube and it sounds very pleasant.

This is the music the Nazis played as they led the Jews to the gas chambers. The last bit of cruelty on their part.

I thought it was Wagner, whose music is under an unofficial ban in Israel. Never heard a word RE Mozart.
Why did the Nazis do that? To create “all is well” camouflage to fool the victims?

To torture them with a happy music as they were walking tl their death. To trivialize what was happening.

I must echo ed’s question.
“If there is one piece of music a Jew doesn’t want to hear in Germany, that [K 331 (300i)] is it.” I hope you don’t mind me asking, but why is this so? I would have thought that it would have been anything by Wagner, who has a well-documented (and absolutely deserved) reputation as an anti-Semite.
