Oct22,2024 ... Mozart has locked himself into the position of "greatest composer of music" the world will ever see. The more I listen and think about him and what he must have been thinking as he wrote particular composition pieces, the more sure I am that God specifically established for humankind a demonstrable example, a shining glimpse, of the soaring creativity of which humans are capable.

Mozart was the greatest composer of all time. His music writing was dictated by what the public like to hear as he had to please them to survive not having steady employment and basically the first “professional” Musician. The fact that toward the end of his career he began to compose for himself and not a commission by noblemen he 1:10:07 began to display his incredible talent. The fact that Symphonies 39,40 and 41 were written in an incredibly short span of time all the while completing Don Giovanni, the Magic Flute, several concert arias, and parts of one of the truly greatest works the Requiem is astounding. No other composer came close to what his brain could do, not even Beethoven who took 6 or more months to compose a symphony. I think trying to compare them is apple to oranges. Even Mozart’s piano was smaller allowing him less depth of range when composing. Beethoven could compose being less dependent on what the public liked than Mozart. Both men were gifts from God but I can tell you that when I hear Mozart’s music it’s like no other the emotions it stirs in me and millions of Mozart lovers all over the world.

@elaineblackhurst1509 2 ай бұрын

Many composers could write music of the highest quality at incredible speed, it’s really nothing special so it’s misleading to highlight Mozart as though he was unique; search lots of Rossini (‘…four minutes to write an aria, as long as it takes to boil my rice’), or Handel’s Opus 6 concerti grossi, or completing Messiah in just 24 days are other examples.

Mozart was buried in a common grave at St. Marx Cemetery in Vienna, Austria, on December 7, 1791. Contrary to popular belief, this was not a pauper's grave, nor was it an unusual practice for his time. In 18th-century Vienna, common graves were typically used for middle-class burials, as only the very wealthy could afford private or family graves. Mozart’s grave was unmarked, which was also typical for common graves. As a result, the exact location of his burial site was lost over time. St. Marx Cemetery later added a memorial at what is believed to be the general area of his grave, honoring him as one of history’s greatest composers. Today, a monument stands there, serving as a symbolic tribute rather than an exact grave marker.

A very enlightening and comprehensive documentry on Mozarts life from child prodigy to grown man. Enjoyed this video very much. Mozart has been and will be one of my favorite composers of all time. As far as comparing him to other composers I wouldn't say who was better. They all gave us such beautiful music to enjoy and their accomplishments and differences should be applauded not comparing who's better but rather appreciate that we have their music to listen to today , expressing our appreciation for their incredible works. Thank you for this video on Mozart. ❤

W.A.Mozart is my favorite of classical composers. Few pieces lift my mood like Eine Kline Nachtmusik. "Emotional depth" does not always mean tear-jerking, heavy, or drama-filled. Happiness is an emotion. Joy is an emotion. Delight is an emotion. Mozart's music (I am not as familiar with his operas) is deeply filled with these positive emotions. Would he have eclipsed Beethoven? Possibly. It would depend on how popular tastes evolved. But the fact that Mozart was able to write music that made people smile, made people laugh, in spite of everything he went through, ranks him at number one in my classical music library. There have been other composers since that time that are equally brilliant (looking at you, John Williams), but nobody surpasses.

@williamburroughs2273 5 ай бұрын

Mozart easily eclipsed Beethoven, Beethoven was nowhere near Mozart's league and Beethoven constantly admitted so much. And you are missing out on Mozart's operas.

@erichodge567 29 күн бұрын

I agree that Mozart is in a class by himself. Nevertheless, Beethoven is in a whole school by himself, by which I don't mean to suggest that he is better than Mozart, but rather that he infused music with an entirely new spirit. It's there from those first two chords in the Eroica, the Fifth Symphony, the Sixth, the late quartets, and on and on. You can mistake Mozart for Haydn, but Beethoven is Beethoven.

Childhood in the 18th and 20th centuries were very different. Curious how they approached this comparison. Childhood in different social circles in the 18th century was significantly different as well. And the Mozart family by all means were not wealthy. And having to make a living as early as possible would have been pivotal for the family. According to the contemporaries Mozart was quite a well rounded young man, fitting well into the surrounding him society. Life of any party, but he didn’t seem to be in any way similar to the seriously affected mental health and behaviors of MJ. As much is available about both of men’s formative years and their further personal characteristics and behaviors - they had nothing in common other than their respective deep musical talents.

This is an excellent video comprising the life and times of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. In my opinion, and I think shared by many... Mozart reached the Pinnacle of the classical form. And had he lived longer, I believe he was already transitioning into the more melodic/ romantic style as expressed by Beethoven et al Listen to The passion and depth of expression in Mozart's Masonic Funeral Music, a piece that conveys both the sadness of loss and the brightness of the future to come with one single positive Major cord at the end. He was clearly transitioning into the more romantic era of classical music, and I think he would have been acclaimed in both classical genres, had he lived beyond his 35 years. His is an astonishing output and the world is blessed to have received his gift.

Mozart was probably the greatest musician of all time..His works teem with professional amazement. In the G-Minor Symphony there is a wild atonal sounding passage for four measures that contains every one of the 12 chromatic tones except G, and which would easily pass as 20th century music.Mozart was a composer who continually sought out new tonal possibilities in music and was brave enough to experiment with them. The tragedy of child prodigies is that “once you reach the gawky stage, they drop you” as Charlie Chaplin observed. Therefore when you become an artist in adult life, people will not take you seriously.. Many child performers in Show Business have suffered the same fate. Though Beethoven is my king of music, I consider Mozart to be in a class by himself. So much can be learned about skill and melodic expression by just hearing his work. He was a musical genius.

With what is known about the symptoms regarding his death, It seems to me that it was alcohol related . He was in adult society at such a young age and was probably introduced to wine etc. at an age when the internal organs are not fully developed, so susceptible to liver disease etc. There are a lot of cases of liver disease in young people these days , as young as 20 years old , who started drinking alcohol as young as 12 , but that is still only 8 years of drinking , Just a thought !

Salieri was quite a mover and shaker in his life (especially in his teens and 20s) …. Worked and tutored under Gassmann…Also worked with Hasse and Gluck while being paid to work at the Italian opera and sing a couple nights a week with Emperor Joseph II. Later in his 30s, he worked with Haydn and Mozart and became Kapellmeister for the Imperial Court in Vienna. As he aged his operatic works became dated (he was rather conservative in style) and he was overshadowed by Mozart. He went on to teach dozens of fantastic musicians in vocal composition. Among them, Beethoven, Winter, Schubert, Mocheles, Liszt, Meyerbeer, Czerny and others!

Mozart was not given a job as Court Kapellmeister on 7 December 1787; he was a Kammer Kompositeur -- a chamber composer. He had very little work to do; compose a few court dances. "Too little for what I could do," he commented. Also, Leopold Mozart & Mozart's sister, Nannerl, never accepted Constanze into their family; they hated her for supposedly, taking Mozart's salary away from them. The hostility continued until Leopold's death in 1787. It was only years later, when Constanze lived in Salzburg near the blind & ailing Nannerl, that they resolved their differences. Nannerl loved Constanze's youngest son, Wolfgang Xaver Mozart.
