A Beautiful tender and delicate work , more "Mozart", than Mozart himself. Funny how it is that Mozart often gets the credit for the "pure classical sound" when he himself arrived on the scene during a the period of time within the classical era when its "sound" had already been well defined and developed by very many others. Not a criticism of Wolfgang, but just an observation. Musicology, history and criticism bearing much of the responsibility for this very slanted and biased "Mozartian view" of the classical period, which usually neglects and often totally excludes the great contributions of many other wonderful composers. Many people often make comments such as "this sounds like Mozart", when in fact its Mozart's music itself that sounds like many of the great and earlier classical pieces written by a large number of other composers . Mozart himself being the grand imitator of the classical era, possessing the faculty of being able to write in the style of virtually any other composer whilst retaining his own unique style and sound: a thing well recognized by music critics and historians.
Mozart était une "éponge" qui a absorbé le style de l'époque et l'a régurgité en le magnifiant et en le portant à son plus haut degré de sensibilité et d'intensité. Il a repoussé les limites de ce style et l'a traité dans tous les sens et en a exploré toutes les possibilités...En seulement 30 ans. Qu'aurait-il fait du style pré-romantique et romantique s'il avait vécu 80 ans?
