Mozart - Masonic Funeral Music (Maurerische Trauermusik), K. 477 (1785)

[@kwastormayt]

that complexity and deepness unbelievable

[@janedoe-hq9vn]

Thank you for having the sheet music to follow along....

[@JamesGanley-c9p]

why is this piece overlooked? I keep trying to find all of it. So beautiful. Not too thrilled by this one. Keep looking for all of Masonic Music. Mozart from 10 yr old. He is my favorite.

[@mmbmbmbmb]

Truly amazing to SEE the composition in it's full glory ... not to mention HEARING it! Thank you!

[@butinone]

Very fine rendition indeed, neither too melodramatic nor too flat and spineless, nice 'tempo' and the strings are very good. 👍

[@eugeniosantelicesf.2349]

Maravillosa obra! Gracias por compartir la partitura, donde Mozart muestra el cambio de lo dificultoso que es el paso por la vida (con un sombrío modo menor) hasta llegar al descanso final, en un tranquilo y feliz tonalidad mayor.

This was in the movie "Shock Waves" with Peter Cushing

[@ubaldopeana8941]

ricordo la tensione all'attacco, i due oboi che dovevano essere intonati alla perfezione e noi subito dopo a proseguire la frase

[@jochanaan58]

Some say "bad intonation" or "tempo too fast". It's a period-instrument orchestra! Not going to sound like the Vienna Philharmonic led by Bruno Walter, nor should we expect it to.

[@Fumozart]

Ayooo that contrabassoon and horn are wild 🔥🔥🔥

[@alteisenfahrer]

but exactly that makes it interesting. pure power. OK, maybe Hans Haselböck is a wild one too, but in general that interpretation is much more interesting than so many "modern" recordings where everything is equalized to a all the time boring equal soft sound. I am orchestra musician myself and I hate the moment if colleague asks "Sorry, I should play "legato" and my neighbor has to play "staccato" in same phrase, is that right??? and conductor says "yes, do same as your neighbor and all salt is taken out of the music and the result is a boring uniformity...

[@Fumozart]

@@alteisenfahrer damn those low quality conductors

[@jpstenino]

I very much appreciate the work you have done to make this video thank you.

[@Dizzyfingers2]

Terrible balance ... Where are the violins? I see the music ... but can only hear woodwinds!

The rabbit hole I climbed down led me here and seeing your Q uote just made it all worth it. WWG1WGA

[@gabmar6554]

oh my God... Just horrible balance of sounds for a so beautiful and spiritual piece.

[@violinhunter2]

Mozart is one of my favorite composers and certainly one of the greatest geniuses who ever lived. This piece - it seems to me - is not one of his best. It is just odd - out of character. He even inserts a b flat into what feels like a G dominant chord. Very peculiar. It sounds more like something Salieri would write.

[@MartyMusic777]

Well...it is a funeral march, so it makes sense that it retains a gloomy, plodding feeling throughout. True, it's not Mozart at his best, but should he really try for his best in the sort of situation he was writing for?

[@pelonpanzalegre]

Is one of his masterpieces

[@metodoinstinto]

Certainly far from his best music. I'd say it's one of the most uninspired pieces I've heard from him. I guess people like it because it's in C Minor, but the harmony is pretty bland. He must have written it quickly.

[@DottoreSM]

it's music for a masonic funeral, it's in the title. the B has a very special symbolism in masonry, there's mason symbolism in mozart's masonic music and also in other unrelated works like die zauberflöte, from musical forms, to harmony, to key signatures

[@violinhunter2]

@@DottoreSM I didn't want to say it but this music is pretty terrible. Maybe one of his pupils wrote it? No, it's even worse than that. It is 1000 notches below his requiem.

[@kano26]

If this wasn't made for the Ilerminati, I would enjoy it a lot more.

[@karajan27]

"Da Vinci Code" was just a film...

[@kano26]

nice try, ilerminaty, you won't fool me

[@SuperAppleFanatic1]

It wasn't made for the Illuminati, it was made for the Free Masons.

[@harryandruschak2843]

kano26 Please do not feed the troll

[@eniarku99]

kano26 Please get your history right. The Illuminati were never merged with Freemasonry. Illuminism was founded by Adam Weishaupt, who established a hierarchy and rituals modeled after the Jesuit upbringing he had been given. Weishaupt's goal was a democratic revolution in Bavaria and the organization was far more secretive than Freemasonry. Weishaupt saw some overlap between the goals of Freemasonry and Illuminism, and he himself joined the Freemasons, but the two organizations never, ever merged. When the Bavarian government discovered Weishaupt's activities, he was forced to flee to another German kingdom, Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg, where he wrote extensively but his actual activities were curtailed. Illuminism and the Illuminati vanished upon his death in 1830. Fundamental keys to getting this stuff right are: 1.) Avoid conspiracy loons; 2.) Avoid Dan Brown novels; and 3.) Read the actual source materials.

[@rq3tgunm]

They seem to be in a hurry, perhaps they wanted to get their train... I prefer the recording with Bruno Walter. It's the best, I think...

[@organboi]

horrible intonation. wow.

[@carlosrodriguezotero9290]

It's not horrible instrumentation. It's the period instruments used in this recording, which have a "messier" timbre, which might sound like bad intonation to those who aren't used to them.

[@DomingoLagomazzini]

+organboi horrible loudmotuh. wow.

[@jessewarner7962]

Agreed.

[@medmusic7977]

This version is fucked up
