Imo, he was the most emotional composer ever. I know that is not what he is known for, but his music always MAKES you feel. I can’t imagine walking around with those glorious sounds constantly in your mind. Although many other musicians have written wonderful pieces of music, for me, he will always be the best. Wouldn’t he have loved to have known that many people consider him the greatest musician ever.

@@lynnfisher3037Yes, but only Wolfgang so often made me feel he was channeling some magically glorious angelic dimension where this absolutely perfect music already exists. It was practically effortless, except for the physical quill and paper work.

[@jennifermcdonald5432]

@@TampaDave you are exactly right. I went through a period where I couldn’t listen to his music because it would hurt too much, the emotion was too deep. Thankfully it didn’t last long, that teenage period where all emotions are incredibly intense and overwhelming. His music is so beautiful, ( actually there’s no word to describe it)

[@JS-dz3nl]

Beethoven and Chopin had more emotional music than Mozart. As a professional pianist, I'd say Mozart's music is more playful than most other composers. His piano pieces feel more like Études than inspirational pieces. His best works were in his Operas in my opinion. That's also what he enjoyed doing the most, and it definitely shows. As his piano pieces are sometimes lackluster. Chopin also created far more complicated music at age 6 and 7. Chopin was also known as a music prodigy. When it comes to piano music, I prefer Beethoven and Chopin over Mozart.

[@AmandaGreenman]

Your re-creation is oddly like seeing an old friend. I'm a violist and he has always been my fave composer, mainly because he's one of the few that doesn't leave the violas out and still gives us some melodies and fun parts in pieces (we're often just used as a "background instrument" by most composers). I have always felt like after playing his music I can tell that he was a fun loving and nice guy. It's a shame he passed away so young. Thank you for this!

[@captmack007]

I'm a violist too! Mozart played the violist, so so did Hayden and Bach. Bach 'cello' suites are really with the viola in mind, so said Bach . I like Tchaikovsky for he gave us so many good parts too!

I sat on his piano bench in Salzburg. At that time, about 1980, it was not too difficult. The tour group bunched up at the top of the stairs so I just held back at the end of the line and snuck around the ropes. And I did the same to sit on Maria Theresa's throne, very briefly and quickly.

[@nutrianirvana6823]

How beautiful! You captured his essence through his tender, sensitive eyes. When he smiled, I wanted to cry. He was described as "a remarkably small man". Mozart's letters are a revelation and give insight into his character, as well as his interactions with his family and others. Some are irreverant and scatological, some are heartbreakingly sensitive; all are fascinating. Riveting reading to be sure! I love Mozart with a depth of feeling I've never completely understood. Suffice to say I know him well. When I went to Salzburg and Vienna, I spent hours on the Getreidegasse visiting his birth house, and in Vienna, lingering inside of St Stephen's Cathedral, as well as Mozart's "Figaro House" residence. These were amazing, life-changing experiences for me. I'm a lifelong Mozart enthusiast and historian. I'm also a musician (violin and piano) and I've immersed myself in the majority of his compositions. His mastery of counterpoint is mind-boggling, as are his fugues. The fugue finale of the "Jupiter" makes me want to dance! Among my other favourites is the Adagio and Fugue in Cmin (K 546), which is breathtakingly intense, to say the least. I listen to, or play, his music daily. There is nothing better. Thank you for giving Nannerl her due, for she was (almost)as brilliant as Wolfgang. If you'd like a treat, take a listen to Leopold's compositions! Beautiful stuff. Wolfgang's second surviving son, Franz Xaver's, compositions are impressive as well. Thank you for this gorgeous mini-bio of our precious Woferl. 🥰🥰🎶🎶🎼🎼🎹

Bach and Mozart are my two favorites. Their music and especially their religious works reached levels that go beyond the spiritual realm.

[@justinnoble6506]

Yes Bach and Mozart are my favorites too. Bach was the giant on which Mozart stood. What blows me away about Mozart is that he learned counterpoint from Handel’s scores lent to him by his patron, Von Swieten. Then he wrote Jupiter which is a masterpiece, incorporating classical and baroque styles. Pure genius.

Franz Schubert made no secret of the fact that he was absolutely in love with Mozart's music. "O Mozart! immortal Mozart!” he wrote, “what countless impressions of a brighter, better life hast thou stamped upon our souls!” Gioachino Rossini, Mozart's great successor in the world of Italian opera, couldn't get enough of him: “I take Beethoven twice a week, Haydn four times, but Mozart every day... Mozart is always adorable!” The succeeding generation of Romantic composers looked up to Mozart as the ultimate in musical purity. Tchaikovsky said about Mozart: “It is to Mozart that I am obliged for the fact that I have dedicated my life to music. He gave the first impulse to my musical powers and made me love music more than anything else in the world". Without Mozart’s Music in the World … the World would be a Desert! 🌵🐪

The movie deserved the large number of awards it achieved. Acting, costumes, music (Mariner!), choreography (Twyla Tharpe💙), everything as perfectly woven together as a Mozart sonata. At the time the stage-play was originally designed, the story - that Salieri had killed Mozart - was accepted history. That story was officially debunked only after diaries were discovered in the 1950's proving Salieri was not the mysterious customer relentlessly pushing him to finish the work fast. Still, the myth was more compelling than the truth, and provided the entire plot line.

I really, deeply enjoyed this video. Mozart is my favorite composer, and has been since I was a little kid. What I love about this video is that you really created a portrait of him-not just a visual portrait, but through your writing as well. Biographies like these on KZbin have a tendency to either be copy-pastes from encyclopedia articles, or full of clickbait-y superlatives: “YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHAT A GENIUS MOZART WAS!” I felt like I just got a glimpse into the man behind the musical genius. A man who, despite his inhuman talent, struggled and suffered in the face of stuffy aristocracy and the expectations of those who didn’t understand just how special his music was. You wrote about him with nuance and sympathy. Your visual portrait of him was beautifully rendered. He looks like someone who, despite being occasionally burdened with sadness and hardship, relishes the beauty of life and seeks to recreate it through his music.

Mozart was probably the greatest musical freak that ever existed. Imagine writing full-scale operas at an age when your mother is walking you into kindergarten!! Long before Richard Rodgers and Andrew Lloyd Webber, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart set the tone for everything theatrical music could become. Many consider him the first musical idol. Adulated to a point that it unhinged him. The reenactments of his physical appearance are fascinating. What a clone of a young Harry Potter he looked like in your modern rendering!! Certainly, Mozart was a wizard with a pen and paper. Creating the most beautiful music ever rendered. And a prodigy like no other.

An excellent presentation of his life and your recreation is amazing. Thank you.

MOZART'S MUSIC IS MAGICAL. My favorite is the "Requiem," which he left unfinished at death, but had outlined so well his most prominent student was able to complete it. The movement called "Lacrimosa" is amazing and transporting to sing, which I've been able to enjoy doing during 20 years at my city's symphony chorus. It was during this movement that Mozart died. The movement is about sadness, tears, and redemption, a perfect memorial piece.

Your reconstruction also made me tear up and smile back with an astounding filling that he is alive and looking at me...Now I am, even more in love with my favorite composer. Thank you for giving us this precious gift - charming protrait of the Genius of all times! You are a great narrator with a beautiful, melodic voice.

Thank you for this wonderful piece on the life of Mozart, I find it absolutely extraordinary. I am not musically gifted, but my sister was, and she considered Mozart the finest composer that ever lived. She had superior piano-playing ability, and our home growing up was always filled with Mozart's music, so that even now, when I hear many of Mozart's pieces being played, I recognize them immediately. Sadly, Alzheimer's has now wreaked its havoc on her, and she will never again play the music she so loved, and which shaped her very existance. I feel fortunate to have my recollections of her talent and dedication, however, and to have experienced the work of this most brilliant of composers through the efforts of my very own sister. What a gift.

I love Mozart's work! Thank you for doing this video❤

[@charbam9506]

Just watched this for a second time. Your artistic renditions at the end of each video are truly marvelous, innovative and heartfelt. So poignant and so moving. Thank you to you and to your husband for sharing such high quality productions.

Amazing 29:38 ❤❤❤. The portrait is exceptional especially if he were here today look. Thank you. I think I fell in love again. Between Abraham Lincoln and Amadeus Mozart I'd die happy.

[@DougieBee]

As always, your work is nothing short of astounding. I believe I speak for everyone when I say it has brought all these historical figures to life for us. Bravo!

[@debifambro1039]

I love your channel. The portraits are awesome and they make me laugh. ❤

[@Watchman70]

This was excellent. I really loved the ending reconstruction of what he may have looked like. To be honest it kind of had a startling, humanity and reality to his existence. What an amazing person!

[@martybaggenmusic]

The lifelike recreations brought a tear

[@wendystubbert7551]

I think you nailed the current day likeness. I would have had him with a manbun - very Parisian/European. I LOVE your work and am so grateful for your ability to take history and "bring it to life." Thank you!

[@estelaer]

This is the first of your videos I’ve ever seen. The final minutes brought tears to my eyes. I thought I was overreacting so I came to the comment section to see what everyone else thought- I’m glad I’m not alone. It’s amazing how we can feel so connected to each other through faces, even when recreated. You have one more subscriber now, great work.

[@waikeekee3831]

Your work is always astounding! Loved learning about Mozart

[@thepoisonquill]

You have this talent to bring history to life and not bore us to death in the process! I am captivated by your visual art and impressed with your historical storytelling. You make history interesting and leave us wanting more. Your voice is confident and calming; drew me in immediately and keep my attention until the last word spoken; never bored. Thank you! I look forward to enjoying the next person from history you bring to life.

Assuming that the AI and smile are fairly accurate depictions, then the final modern image indeed reflects a kindly, beautiful soul.

[@robbes7rh]

Everything i would hope for in a biography of Mozart. Rich in historic imagery, meticulous in detail, i learned so many things to fill in my cursory understanding. The video is truly an aesthetic experience perfectly suited for its subject.

[@Vcaser]

Miserere! One of my favorites of all time. I completely forgot about Mozart’s transcription of this piece. Gives me chills every time I hear it ❤

[@coolohiobreeze2037]

Oh! I loved this!! And, when you made him smile, I was grinning right back at him!!! I am so in awe of him and his beyond amazing talents. Then suddenly, he seemed so perfectly human!! Thank You!!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Happy New Year! What a great historical figure to start the year with.

[@MNMC-fs8tx]

I was teaching my great-granddaughter piano several years ago, and her 2-year-old sister was there. Last year, when the younger sister was 6 years old, she played perfectly the song I had taught her sister so many years ago.

[@richardsweeney197]

I look at him and think, I would love to have met him, you have brought him to life. Thank You.
