That intro nearly moved me to tears.

It's important to remember that dissonant does not necessarily mean jangling or unpleasant. For example, the interval of a fourth is often considered dissonant according to traditional practice; but playing a fourth on the piano doesn't make everyone the room think,"Oh, that sounds really discordant."

I used to play this piece, until I took an arrow in the knee.

For one minute and 40 seconds Mozart was transported to the 20th century...

@achan1058 Well, there you go... Isn't it also true that the Tristan chord is to be found somewhere in the Hammerklavier sonata - in transposed form I think - but anyway, interesting by-the-bys...
Follow along with the score. The dissonant intro is highly logical. The motific integration is total--there is nothing "coming at you out of the blue". Perhaps you don't like dissonance? That doesn't make one of the greatest composers in history illogical. ;) It's a shame Mozart felt he could only experiment like this in an introduction. What would Mozart have written if he was free to discard tonality?

The DSCH motif appears in the introduction. I guess someone is trying to be Dmitri Shostakovich.
