Yes, those two. The one mentioned in E flat is pehaps even more artful. However, it's not my favourite. The one in g minor is more beloved by many and for good reasons (it's so expressive and screams of despare!). But my personal favourite is the one in C, not despite the more conventional material and more cliché like frases, but because of them! It's how he treats this material that gives me goosebumps!

I love the first movement with its nostalgic grandeur. We hear the wistfulness first in the soft but firmly rooted triadic arpeggiation of its opening and yearning upper strings. Shortly thereafter, the confident, vigorous main theme enters, characterized by the "royal" figuration of dotted quarter+quaver and dotted quaver+semiquaver. The themes are laid out quickly; we plunge quickly into a network of contrapuntal complexity. There's no coyness either in the efficient declaration of the development section. After the ensuing demonstration, it's such a stroke of emotional genius to be confronted again by the same music of the beginning -- soft, warm, wistful, sparse. But vigor and optimism have the last word, with punctuating coda of the main theme. I find in Mozart's works an emotional sophistication rooted in a moral outlook that I have a lot of sympathy and respect for.

In the light of what you have just said, sophistication does not prevent emotion when it is a sensitive person who composes. On the other hand, sophistication without art becomes mechanical. Put pigs in a castle, they won't become lords, but the castle will soon become a pigsty.

What you hear is as written in Mozart’s autograph, with the descending chromatic six-note phrase - this is correct. The score you see on the screen shows a mistake that was copied widely and made its way into published editions - and is wrong.

The version played here is the authentic one in Mozart's autograph, before a foreign hand changed it to what you see in this score; the Neue Mozart-Ausgabe restores the autograph reading. This clarifies the passage just after 27:46 as a development of the theme.

can someone explain to me the structure of the 1st mvmt and the repeats
@shuhengazhang4 жыл бұрын
Of course! This quintet's structure is really unique compared to others so you'll have to wear with me hehe. It open with a pretty typical slow introduction with four-is parts: a heraldic call to attention, then a lyrical rejoinder (these two are repeated a few times), then a section that searches its way to the dominant, and finally, a lock on the dominant at measure 16. This leads to the beginning of the exposition, the primary key area, which has a rather complex primary theme. The primary theme is stated in whole once and is followed by a little codetta-like tag. Then, the primary theme is repeated again at measure 34, but takes a different course (notice the different harmony at measure 41) and dissolves into a transition that gets its momentum by developing the dotted codetta-like tag material. A lock on V/V is reached at measure 54 which eventual leads to the medial caesura at measure 63. Here, we expect a unique secondary theme in the dominant, but instead we are treated with a transformation of the primary theme (very reminiscent of Haydn!) but some new material is introduced at measure 71 in place of the triplet figure from the primary theme. Even more new thematic material is introduced and leads to a perfect authentic cadence in V at measure 89, marking the essential expositional closure. A subdued closing theme (expect a coda!) follows and a re-transition begins that leads either to the beginning of the exposition if the repeat is taken, or the development. The development occurs in roughly three stages: a pre-core that develops the syncopated, limping (alla zoppa) part of the primary theme from measures 102-122, the core of the development that develops both the triplet figure and hammer-stroke cadential figure of the primary theme while sequencing through the circle of fifths form meaures 123-137, and finally, a re-transition that fades away into the recapitulation from measures 138-143. The recapitulation begins on measure 143 and has some tweaks: first, the primary theme is not repeated, rather, it goes straight into the transition. Second, the transition is extended greatly, in very typical Mozartian fashion. The crux point is reached at measure 179 (I believe) and the recapitulation follows the course of the exposition practically measure for measure. At the end of the recapitulation, the grand pause makes us expect a coda, but surprise! the sow introduction return as a coda. However, only the first seven measures of it are followed and it leads a different path to the dominant. Another grand pause follows the dominant chord and... the primary theme, with it's overly-determined establishment of tonic and cadence, comes to close the movement. A joke worthy of Haydn :)

This brilliantly-crafted Quintet in D Major (scor’d for: 2 violini, 2 viole, e violoncello) was completed on 6 December 1790 and was perform’d (according to family friend Father Maximilian Stadler from Salzburg-NB not the clarinet virtuoso Anton Stadler) by Mozart & Haydn (at times sharing the 1st viola part) before the latter’s first trip to England 15 December 1790; it was not publish’d until 1793 by Artatia of Wien with the incipit ‘compos’d for an Hungarian Amateur’ - most likely candidate being Anton Tost, the 2nd violinist in Haydn’s (recently partly-disbanded) Esterhazy Court Orchestra, who plunk’d down 15 Dukaten for it...necessary at the time for the Mozart Family was again expecting another baby (born 26 July 1791) and was at the time recovering from Joseph II death in Feb 1790-9 months earlier-and found himself heavily indebt to ‘certain notorious Jewish userers from Frankfort, including one Herr Goldhahn who fleac’d (gentiles) in need with interest rates of 35% per annum...’)
