Dear Mr. Brautigam,
I came across your album entitled, “Mozart: Piano Concertos Nos. 24 & 25” and I first and foremost want to say that it is beautiful and very well done. My question, however, is this: what is the story behind the photograph chosen for the album cover of a man hammering a fallen tree? One doesn’t typically associate Mozart with lumberjacks, but the juxtaposition is certainly intriguing—in a good way. Any story that would explain the association should undoubtedly be a good one, so I’m hoping you’ll share it with me.
Sincerely,
Ian Chapman

Dear Mr. Chapman,
the idea behind the Mozart covers is to show the various stages in the making of a fortepiano (somewhere there is a small paragraph in the booklet explaining this)
Since the cd you saw was only Vol. 2, we’re still very much at the hacking stage…
Things will become more civilized, I can promise you!
With best wishes,
Ronald Brautigam
