Mozart - Symphony No. 36 in C, K. 425 [complete] (Linz)

[@rl-181]

To write a symphony like this, you have to be an absolute genius, to write a symphony like this in 4 days, you have to be Mozart!

[@jesusmanriquezsantana1590]

It is surprising that Mozart composed this great work in just 4 days A total genius

[@enricoluccarini3626]

Grain of salt needed here.

[@retiredmeme2751]

I absolutely love the way Mozart uses the timpani in his compositions

[@harryturner9304]

Very Haydn esque. He learnt a lot of him!

[@SuperMusicizmylife]

I love the story about the Linz symphony. The fact that Mozart arrived in Linz with no new symphony so he composed the masterpiece in 4 days. Mozart worked well under deadlines. When his father arrived in Vienna in 1785, he walked in to find Mozart still writing and handing the sheets to the copyist - for a piano concerto performance that same night. He wrote his last 3 symphonies in 3 months of one summer. That's what geniuses do. What do mediocrities do? They argue which genius is "better".

[@mereyeslacalle]

Absolutely agree ; each genius has their own ; discussing if one is better than another , besides mediocrity , shows ignorancy about what music is . I love your comment !

[@SuperMusicizmylife]

@@mereyeslacalle thank you. well said yourself!

[@jubielhalasz295]

Mozart composed the entire overture for Don Giovanni the morning that it premiered, and the ink was still wet on the copies when the musicians performed it. Yet it remains an unrivalled masterpiece.

[@SuperMusicizmylife]

@@jubielhalasz295 I think Mozart worked well under the pressure of a deadline. His Don Giovanni overtire is one example. Another even more remarkable occasion he demonstrated getting it in “under the wire” was the evening he finished his D minor piano concerto K 466 that was required for performance that same night. The orchestra sight read it on performance night. By all accounts, a magnificent event. The emperor shouted “Bravo Mozart!”

[@jubielhalasz295]

@@SuperMusicizmylife I know. I was agreeing with you and adding to what you said. He was indeed incredibly good at working under immense pressure. His genius was so extensive that it could always perform to and exceed expectations, regardless of time pressure or any other external factor. He is without I doubt in my mind the greatest composer who ever lived.

[@321Lopper]

On my way home it was on the radio and I got in the car just after the first movement started. Good timing! What an incredible masterpiece.

[@WDeeGee1]

Gotta love the way he effortlessly goes from unbridled exuberance to delicate, tender elegance in just the matter of an instant.

[@shin-i-chikozima]

Mozart,s works are forever . Forever is Mozart .

[@ivydog2009]

I can listen to the finale over and over and over again. I printed out the score just so I could play the Timpani parts on my keyboard with the music. I can't tell you how thrilling it is for me to hear that last flourish - 16 measures before the end. So much fun. I wish I could perform in an orchestra just to play that part. The whole movement seems to imply a break-neck race to finish the piece. Mozart wrote "When we arrived at the gates of Linz, a servant was standing there to conduct us to the Old Count Thun's, where we are still living. I really cannot tell you how they overwhelm us with kindness in this house. On Thursday, the Fourth of November, I am going to give a concert in the theater, and, as I have not a single symphony by me, I am writing away over head and ears at a new one, which must be ready by then. " Now THIS recording right here is the bomb: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3rUkKhqYtqCraM

[@SuperMusicizmylife]

well said! Thanks for the link as well. Mozart wrote his music for the people, not just the royals and courts, nor professional musicians. His music reaches everyone at the soul level, it is the true universal language. I enjoy the perspective of a musician like yourself. I am a bit of one myself and see Mozart's genius written on the page that produces such majestic sounds to all ears, trained and untrained alike.

[@enricoluccarini3626]

The Thun family had known the Mozarts since 1762, very friendly with Leopold. Young Count Thun's wife was a good keyboard player and very well placed in high society - she did much to help Wolfgang when he eventually moved to Vienna;

[@TK-tv5un]

He wrote this in 4 days, the symphony conveys the tone of stress, anxiety, and the psychological rush to meet a deadline fairly well.

[@fangornae1085]

My journey in Linz didn't taste the same as i knew Mozart was part of it. Simply honored to walk on the steps of such a music gifted man

[@gerardbegni2806]

This symphony is full of light. It is quite transparent. It is a necessray complement to the density of the four following ones. With its five last symphonies, Mozart used the whole palette of human feeelings.

[@HansKuhlmann]

Amadeus was the greatest, he wrote so many masterpieces in his short life. Some works may be more impressing than others, but he never wrote pieces of bad quality. His extraordinary piece "musikalischer Spaß" shows us what "low quality" is, but it needs a genius to write something like that. His notes are always in the right place and everyone hears when the instrumentalist makes a mistake. Therefore his music is not that easy to play. Oh yes - the Linz symphony can be counted to his late and greatest symphonies.

[@jeanchalant8682]

Anyone who burns energy debating whether Mozart is "better" than Beethoven, or vice-versa, or feels the need to determine if either of them is "the best," is missing the point of... well... basically everything. Mozart is "the best" at being Mozart. Beethoven is "the best" at being Beethoven. The End

[@johnyringo6890]

JeanChalant Wrong. The only thing greater than Mozart is God.

[@brimcowa]

I've often found that Mozart had a way of expressing exhilerating and soulful themes with a hint of wistful melancholy that can bring one to tears from the melodious counterpoint's interraction. Whereas, Beethoven causes me to grind my teeth at times from the hints of frustration and sense of desperation one gets from the direction he often took.

[@AchtungEnglander]

wow - he wrote this in 4 days. Its like that bit in Amadeus, its almost like he took dictation and the music was already in his head just waiting to get out on ink and paper. Amazing

[@Wallendorf2005]

I am somehow growing bored to see the same useless comparisons between whichever composers… Why don’t people understand? Mozart was a Classical composer. Beethoven is widely regarded as the first Romantic composer. Beethoven greatly appreciated and was inspired by Mozart, but he gradually developed his own different style. Likewise, Mozart had Bach as a model. This simply doesn’t make any of them “better” than the other.

[@MrMamilitas]

I totally agree with your assessment.

[@zBeestBeest]

Thank you. We human creatures were lucky to get Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, and a bunch of other inspired creators. Celebrate the famous masters and discover the obscure musicians. YooToob comments on symphonic videos are usually theeee worst, most annoying nonsense ever. Lots of fluffing one's own pillows if you get my drift. Just be happy this amazingness exists. I'll take the delightfulness of early Christian Cannabich symphonies to most things.

[@nillejoslin]

Moreover, Mozart worked under totally different conditions than Beethoven. This symphony was completed in four days! Mozart made >600 works in a 35 year life, Beethoven ~150 works in a 57 year life. Imagine what Mozart could have achieved under less economic stress and what would have come out if these two geniuses had been composing in parallel, inspiring eachother.

[@MrMamilitas]

Totally in agreement with your assessment Nelson.. AMEN....!!!!

[@nillejoslin]

***** I suggest you read what I wrote about Mozarts working conditions and economic stress.

[@federicozimerman8167]

Purest music, no one asks what is it about.

[@Arethus]

I can't understand all the hate for Mozart. There is no reason to compare beethoven to mozart. They were both amazing composers, both were geniuses, both made emotional, powerful music (albeit different), and both are legends. Mozart was more fun, Beethoven was more artistic, it doesn't make one better than the other. Personally, i do prefer Beethoven, but Mozart was, and always will be a musical genius and a legend.

[@nickspruytenburg1230]

My first experience of this masterpiece was listening to it on a set of 78 rpm records in an ancient radiogram (c. 1960). Despite the awful interruptions and the scratchy sound, it was unforgettable.

[@polymath7]

I honestly don't see how one could feel anything short of reverential awe for either of them.

[@gerardbegni2806]

I love the counterpoint between the oboe and the bassoon in the trio of the minuetto. The bassoon could be much evidenced in that rendition.

[@mdonstad]

Mozart began to be "more serious" after his father died in 1787.It woke him up a little. Practically everything he wrote after that event is considered a masterpiece. I think we get a lot of haters out there because they realize the truth: That without Mozart, Beethoven wouldnt been the composer he was. Its about time people pay more respect to Mozart, Haydn, and Bach in regards to Beethoven. Without those composers I mentioned, the genius of Beethoven never wouldve come out.

[@KaustavMukherjeeFineArt]

i now know from where did the Magic Flute overture came from!

[@mdonstad]

They will always be linked together..Beethoven adored Mozart and a lot of his work is based on Mozarts genius. Beethoven lovers refuse to admit, but I guarantee Beethoven would yell at anyone who bashed his idol. :)

[@emeegeeehen]

I do not think that between Beethoven and Mozart, one can be chosen as "better". In my opinion, each of their styles is COMPLETELY different from the other. Also, this opinion that Mozart's music is "too perfect" and "not emotional" is utterly untrue. Mozart's music is very expressive. Take a better listen to his music, dig a little deeper into his catalogue of compositions! Emotion doesn't always have to be blatantly obvious, like in Beethoven's music. Mozart was the master of superb subtlety!

[@SuperMusicizmylife]

well said! I agree 100%

[@mdonstad]

Finally someone who knows what they are talking about! Don't worry Chris, I feel you.. Only the smart music lovers know the truth. Beethoven would be the first to tell you that your comments are accurate.

[@sahayaraju2813]

Since music is subjective, some may prefer Mozart more and some may prefer Beethovan more. If Mozart can be likened to Jasmine, Beethovan can be likened to Rose. Each one has his own unique style of composing that is appealing to some people and therefore one group loves Mozart more and another group loves Beethovan more. We should be happy to think that nature has gifted us two magnificent all time great composers. The End.

Mozart had not brought any sheet music with him, and the count had a splendid orchestra. Mozart was so impressed with the orchestra, that he wrote a symphony. This one. In four days. And the best thing about the count's full orchestra? It didn't have any flutes. Mozart hated them. It did however have Barytons, which were not all that unusual in orchestras of the time.

I like what you're saying here, but I have to disagree with "Beethoven was more artistic." I believe they were both extraordinarily artistic. Each in their own right. Truly masters. To say one was more artistic than the other has no merit, in my humble opinion. That's like saying Picasso or Pollack was more artistic than Rembrandt or Da Vinci. They are all masters in the realm of human expression via art. Brilliant!

Jean Chalant is on the right way. Comparing composers: Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, ect...has no sens. It's totally subjective, personal, and how that music touches your deep feelings. And nobody can know how another person feels... "Who " is the best is an unending debate. Let's just respect the opinion of each other and listen to the music... Many years ago, listening to the radio a debate between critics on different interpretations and records of the Concerto de Aranguez by Joaquin Rodrigo, one of the critics said: "this piece of music worth nothing!". However, it's presently one of most popular guitar concerto!

If I could choose only symphonies, it would be Beethoven, if Piano Concerto, Beethoven, If operas, Verdi, if only one century 1800's and if only one Composer Mozart. And none of these Composers wrote any of my absolute top ten favourites pieces of classical music! It matters not to me about who is better (there will never be consensus on that anyway) - I know what I like.
