[@ot4kon]

The beginning simple, almost comic. Just a pulse - bassoons and basset horns - like a rusty squeezebox. And then suddenly, high above it, an oboe, a single note, hanging there unwavering, until a clarinet took it over and sweetened it into a phrase of such delight! This was a music I’d never heard. Filled with such longing, such unfulfillable longing. It seemed to me that I was hearing the voice of God.

[@discolevity1035]

Okay that’s what that old guy says in Amadeus ...

[@williamstephens9945]

Hello Salieri!

[@eduardoarredondo1674]

this is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever created.

[@heaven-is-real]

agreed❤❤❤

[@duckypam]

Completely agree

[@MsJimmysgirl]

There is a reason that Mozart is the most popular composer of all time based on how many people visit his wikipedia page. This is the most simple but beautiful of all of his pieces.

[@TrainedCreeper]

tbh most of it is just that his name is thrown around, and he has a well-known movie.

[@manunited1235]

@@TrainedCreeperthere’s a reason for that.

[@zebbie09]

@@TrainedCreeperhe’s like the Beatles of classical music….just about everything he wrote was amazing. He probably scribbled out Eine Kleine Nachtmusik on a napkin for a few silver coins….

[@TrainedCreeper]

@@zebbie09 yeah, my point is that the reason he is the most popular on Wikipedia related to his publicity, rather than his talent.

[@zebbie09]

@@TrainedCreeper ummm, he wrote his first of 41 symphonies at age eight. He’s arguably the most talented musician ever. Several of his pieces are truly transcendent of time. One could possibly argue that Beethoven and Bach were more talented, maybe a few others, but he is in elite company regardless.

[@rugfixr]

That opening oboe always bring tears to my eyes

[@TheTurulhawk]

Yes, me, too. Such a heartbreaking melody.

[@OboeFiles]

so good! and Oliver really captures the longing quality of that melody when it switches to minor

[@TrishBenedict]

@@OboeFiles is that what happens at 2:05? I’m not a musician, I just know that there’s a shift and I wondered if it was just a new phrase or a time change or a key change. (This is the curse of the passionate lover of music who doesn’t know anything about music.) But I was just telling my husband that shift reminds me of the part of Zauberflöte where Pamina talks about her father giving her the flute. It’s one of my favorite operas - some people only see the cuteness and fun of it, but to me it’s so full of mystery and humanity - and I wonder if it’s because it reminds me of the Gran Partita? Or does the Gran Partita remind me of Flute? Or maybe just because it’s all Mozart. :)

Mozart, a gift from God to all of us!!

[@PERCYxyz]

[@jimbus2982]

Absolutely divine. This music is so profound and genius it brings me to tears. It saddens me to think that pop stars with their meaningless 4 chord cyclical structure and drab melody could possibly get more credit than an absolute genius in our world. These were some of Mozart’s favourite instruments to write with. This music is beyond words. Stunning playing

[@TheAthertonian]

Play this, then Laudate, then Ave Verum and really descent into a bath of tears.

[@Boodabam]

i wouldn't fret too much about the simplistic structure of pop music and how it's celebrated, it comes and goes at incredible speed, it's simply just a different genre, mozart will be continued to be celebrated for literally as long as humanity continues

[@cindytartt4048]

I think you’ll find that the classical composers had their cyclical chordal expositions and recapitulations as well. 😀

[@rr7firefly]

The world is filled with unappreciative oafs who could never really hear the beauty that is happening here. Incapable of it. I realized a long time ago that I was not going to worry about what pop culture became -- a spiritless enterprise that is geared to sell recordings. The objective being to make someone a lot of money, and that they struggle to attain at whatever the cost. An unkind word for it: whoring.

[@roberthill799]

Do you think those pop stars will be remembered 230 years after their deaths as Mozart is?

[@elainebmack]

The Gran Partita is not performed very often. I'd much rather hear this than any of the symphonies. This movement in particular absolutely slays me every time I hear it.

[@zacharycoronado6749]

The issue is the basset horns; they’re used so little elsewhere that it makes the performance of this rare

[@vincentellin3821]

The Grand Partita is actually performed quite a bit, but the basset horns pose a problem as it is difficult to get a good matched pair, plus many clarinetists hate playing them despite the fact that Mozart wrote extra parts for them in the Magic Flute, plus the Requiem.....and the parts are sublime.

[@Julian-jw4yv]

Yes! In my opinion this Serenade is one of Mozart‘s best pieces. As an b-clarinetist, it is absolutely magical to play this masterpiece.

[@markwilkins9317]

I agree, this music is so fearfully gentle and calm.

[@lassiewithfever]

Es la que suena en Amadeus cuando Salieri descubre quien es Mozart en la presentacion de este con Joseph de Austria, Salieri la describe como " La música de Dios"

[@irritablearchitect]

I've always imagined that this piece was about a walk in the forest; the wind, the trees, the birds, the insects, all having their voices heard, in one big synchronous mashup. Beautiful does not begin to describe it.

[@anastasiosgkotzamanis5277]

You go out thinking its going to be another overcast day but all the flowers bloomed during the night, filling the air with their sweet smell...and then, the clouds part, you catch the last few rays of sunrise. And you dont want to go back inside ever again.

[@michelmelani3249]

This masterpiece was composed during the "naturalist" movement of the end of the 18th century. That's why it sounds like a celebration of nature.

[@A_Lion_In_The_Sun]

It was composed as background music for a party, and I think its meant to emulate a conversation among a group of people: this person says something, that person says something, someone has good news, someone tells a sad story, someone says a joke and everyone laughs. Thats kind of how I read this piece.

[@fitilostr9810]

[@michaelskywalker3089]

The melodic sequence combined with the harmonic pulsing seems to suggest an endless rising in tone, and musical tension that paradoxically returns to the starting point like an escher print of endlessly rising stairs around the perimeter of an imaginary building. The subtlety of this music must have been astonishing for those who first heard it and fascinating for musicians, artists and mathematicians to analyze.

Neoptolemus De Epirus and for me - the best music ever written

[@tristramgordon8252]

In the past artists were considered the "hand" of god, Michael Angelo and the unnaturally right hand on his David, is allusion to this idea. Because the idea of god was a given, no human could surpass his work, so, everything beautiful made man, couldn't be made by man, only by god using man as his instrument. This was explained to me, at great length, by the Curator of the Michangelo's David in Florence.

Basset horns, not bass clarinets. They are closer to alto clarinets in size, but really have their own unique, soprano clarinet sound...nothing like a bass clarinet in that range.

This song makes me miss my dog.. reminds me of the times he took his first steps and growing into a crazy little boy. All the things he would do would make me mad but at the same time I love him so I never stayed mad. Most of the time I talked to him like my best friend. 13 years later his time came.

Giuseppe Verdi è il più grande compositore della storia, sii anche più di Mozart, ma nessuno neanche lui può competere con quello che si può definire "l'enigma Mozart". ecc il contrabbasso, 10 strumenti a fiato tra i più "fastidiosi", eppure riesce a tirare fuori una melodia e armonia che credo non sia possibile immaginare, qualcos'altro che emozioni di più..... S'è stato merito di Stanzi che gli alzato la gonnella e "fatto sculacciare il sederino con premura"(scritto da Mozart stesso, su lettera per Costanza) bhe mai gesto fu più proficuo. capolavoro impareggiabile! qualcosa "di Mistico" se credessi alle streghe!
