Do not want to detract from Mozart's prodigial status, but much of his early music was heavily mentored. But then that was how he learnt to become the great composer known today. Moreover, most of the great composers were heavily mentored at one time.

The presentation is very confusing : the piece we hear is the Minuet in G (K. 1e), written by Mozart at age five or six (we don't know for sure). However, the quote "Wolfgangerl learned [sic, not composed!] this piece between 9 and 9.30 on the evening of 24 January 1761, 3 days before his fifth birthday" refers to another piece, transcribed in the same book, a scherzo by Georg Christoph Wagenseil (1715-1777).

What's interesting is that it shows Mozart had somehow instinctively been given a gift of music that cannot be learned. You can see in this piece his ability to imagine and hear contrapuntal lines. Also interesting is the use of rhythm in the melody line, combing triplets with tuplets, syncopation across the bar lines and the use of anacrusis. Absolutely stunning.

This is false. Mozart learned to compose by enormous amounts of hard work and perseverance, and complained in his own letters about people who thought his skill was the result of a prodigous talent while ignoring the fact that he worked incredibly hard to tap into this potential he had in him. He definetely learned his trade and the suggestion that he didn't is just laughable, and at the same contrary to statements by Mozart himself. What doesn't help is that the famous film Amadeus, portrayed him as a lunatic (and worse, his friend Salieri as a murderer). A lot of the public perception of Mozart is based on fiction. He was a highly disciplined intellectual who had a very thorough and methodical education and who was taught how to compose by imitating others, including re-arranging several existing works into piano concertos and imitating the stylistic elements of the great composers of his day.

@@classicallpvault I agree with what you are saying but the hard fact of the matter is that every other composer of his time worked just as hard, composed almost as much (some more), but Mozart's music is the music that stands out. Mozart learned EVERYTHING, but more than anything, his genius actually lies in his ability to put all those ideas together along with creating memorable melodies. Mozart even complained about composers of his time having little counterpoint, or no chromatics, and when one goes and listens to those composers, one can hear what he means: so much of the classical period music has some good ideas, but lacks a driving force, or interesting juxtapositions. And he was a boy genius who could do all that, if only at a basic level, where other composers didn't learn that until later years (probably). Some people just are more talented than others, or another way of putting it is, they have a natural feel for the field they work within. Mozart had that natural feel, but yes, he also copied, imitated, even ripped-off others, but through all that learning and hard work, his natural talent was able to rise higher than anyone else's.

It's a mixture of genius with early training. I believe there is no such thing as a "musical genius", only people who are born with a higher ability to recognize patterns, in this case in sound (perhaps a higher IQ or better memory?). Mozart had that and his father exploited it at an early age which resulted in this. We should also remind ourselves of the musical brain at that time, which didn't have as many distractions as today's - Mozart only knew one kind of music which was the one he was going to write, and this also helped. This aside, the voice leading is indeed pretty impressive for a child's first composition. Also, he was 5-6, not four when he wrote this, and this is not his actual first of all compositions. This was his actual first composition that we know of, which he wrote at the age of five kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZorEoGyohNKEl6c

Imagine embarrassing the King of Hapsburg with a piece that was too complex and fast for him to play. He write some Fast stuff but I think most of it is played like Seymour did above, with Grace and care. Almost like learning speed. (I would say Mozart was Five when he wrote this, a few days before a birthday can go either way, but I bet Mozart was 4 1/2 for a few months leading up to this fifth birthday). Cheers! 🍁

There's so much more to that little piece...its FORM and length are completely correct for the minuet as it was danced at that time--the kid comprehended that, knew the dance's steps and position changes, and where the key changes should go (never mind recognized HOW to tastefully modulate in the style of his day). The mirroring of motifs from section to section...how does an almost-5-year-old work that out in his mind so clearly?!? And then write it down legibly for anybody to play and dance to? GRACE.

I think it is clear that his father helped him write it down and refine it, though I have no doubt little Amadeus came up with most of it. He was said to have sat at the piano and played notes that “like each other” at a very young age, and we know he would later fully develop perfect pitch as well. (read about his visit to the Vatican and how he copied out a whole mass in only two hearings) Couple that with his father’s strict and rigorous approach to his education and it starts to make sense.

@@matttondr9282 I know about the Vatican visit (where he also helped German-Italian translate for his father and the Pope, per Leopold). WAM was so extremely observant, and physically playful (as well as mentally and emotionally) that I think he probably sussed out the dance form himself, for the most part, anyway. What got him into trouble later so many times-- "insolence" (disrespect for age, rank and class, mostly)--was what everyone most prized and encouraged when he was little...candid observation, experimentation, unfettered imagination. In those days (reference Alice Miller's "For Your Own Good," on European childrearing) children were generally EXPECTED to be 100% obedient by age three or four, and severely punished, ignored, and even beaten (to get the "Devil" out of them)--it was parents' "godly" DUTY to do this. WAM escaped this; he never learned blind obedience. You can read of this "problem" in many letters to Leopold over decades. Today he would have been considered an extremely bright, exploratory, and gifted kid with relatively few problems, but back then, the same outgoing, ebullient personality would have been rather shocking after childhood, and only forgiven DURING childhood because of his performing, improvisational, and language skills.

The piece is also in no place "boring" and even rather intersting to follow and to listen to till the end. Not surprising his father documented it sp precisely.

That's what I always thought when playing through these lovely early Mozart pieces (there are actually a lot more of these wonderful youth pieces). I think that the melodic ideas indeed came from the little boy, but that his father helped him with the form/structure of these pieces. There are very few moments in those pieces that feel a little awkward, as one would expect to see from a child of that age no matter how gifted the child is, but I would expect a lot more of these 'flaws'/imperfections, if these pieces were not at least 'cleaned up', extended, or 'corrected', etcetera by a professional musician like Mozart's father. Anyway, they are great pieces, no matter what!

He stated only that Wolfgang learned to play it in half an hour of time. No more no less.

Of Mozart's spirit form, it is said that it went through the full cycle of material incarnations through millions of years until it reached the higher spiritual levels of existence where human incarnations were no longer involved, but that then, due to widespread war and chaos on a since gone galaxy, it returned to the material cycle of incarnations. And eventually it ended up on Earth, where it animated the spiritual line of prophets: Enoch, Elijah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Jmmanuel (the so-called Jesus), Mohammed and Billy, but also other personalites like Galileo, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Rasputin and others.

Mozart had at least some assistance from his father (K. 1 is in his father's handwriting) until he was around 8. Although his proficiency was advanced enough by 11 (and, of course, amazing for his age) that he was being given "adult" commissions, most scholars agree that his style was essentially still similar to, if not outright imitative of, other composers. The earliest works for which Mozart would still be remembered had he written nothing else were composed when he was 17-18; had he died of the smallpox he had when he was 14, he probably would be little more than a footnote in Music History--other composers from that period would definitely be better known. Edit: Leopold Mozart would still be known for his Violin-Playing treatise--"What Mozart's son might have accomplished had he lived longer..."

I'd like to think little Wolfgang composed this entirely himself at age 4, but it seems almost impossible and unparalleled that he could have. Almost certainly there was some input from others.

The quote of Leopold that Bernstein reads says Mozart _learned_ the piece, not that he composed it. So yes, I concur. There is no way a 4 or 5 year old "composed" this.

There are souls who were musicians for many lifetimes before. When that kind of person is born into a musical family as Mozart was, these things happen. We see examples of this kind of thing in every field. The range of capacity and ability when it comes to music is vast. This sounds like Mozart, it’s a distinct style. I don’t think the father, in writing in a private journal, was doing anything other than expressing wonder and pride for his incredibly precocious child.

I don't think it was Mozarts very first composition. He had fun composing a few other little piano pieces before. Also, I don't think he wrote it at the age of 4. Maybe he was already 6 or even 7. It just fits so beautiful in a romantic worldview that this lovely thing was composed by a little child, already a masterpiece just out of thin air. Why is it the only known little gem of Mozart as a little kid? Like an isolated strok of luck. It is simply not that simple and also not that wonderful. Mozart is great enough, we don't have to make him greater.

Wolfgang's diminutive name was Wolferl, not Wolfgangerl - the translator goofed a bit there. In English it's not unusual to translate Wolferl to Wolfie.
