What emotions did this symphony, composed by Mozart in 1788, contain?
Put it this way.
As Lin Tian listened to the piece, an image involuntarily surfaced in his mind: Momono Kana went on a business trip with her annoying supervisor, only to run into a torrential downpour and be forced to take shelter from the rain.
