"Ein musikalischer Spaß" is really great if you understand a bit on composition. It is basically a parody of a symphony, breaking rules and systems on purpose, repeats phrases instead of adding new, like a bad composer would write them. With notes that sound like the performing musicians are unqualified and play wrong. He basically plays the musicians and music "industry" at the time for fools.

@mertnecati875 2 месяца назад

Watched that and it is interesting you did not mention about rhythmic structure of left hand being the exact copy of Ottoman jannisary music. So not only timbre wise with ornaments but also rhytmically Mozart aimed to create what he called as "Turkische Musik" in his own letters. Same goes for right hand melody in mid section. He just observed the qualities of the Turkish music very well (probably through music of Gluck he encountered in Paris and Haydn- both of these composers already composed in Turkish style) and tried to reflect that. So you also say form is kinda free at the beginning, is it really? All I see is a strictly planned rondo form. Anyway, Mozart composed many works in popular Turkish style of the time or used the style as a new element without referring to its Turkishness and that s just one of the most successful applications of it.

@xylfox Месяц назад

@mertnecati875 Месяц назад

Mozart famous joke and no nosedive?? So let me tell that one: Mozart challenged Haydn, saying he has a piece the other cannot play. So Haydn sits to the manuscript and plays, until he reaches a moment when there are notes in upper register, notes in lower register, and single note in middle of keyboard. "This piece is impossible to play with just two hands!" states Haydn. "Yet, I can do it" - Mozart claims. He sits at the piano and plays the passage. When he reaches the spot, left hand is playing lower register, right hand playing top register, he leans down into the keyboard and strikes the middle note with his nose. Haydn conceded his defeat that day.

I don't get the kinda square sides and being rude with dynamics or how to be sober when playing, but I certainly can say that Rondo Alla Turca is still super fun when played with Electric guitars, bass and a drummer who really gets that marsh going. It fun in a classical metal arrangement. And yes, you really go all in and and just enjoy playing the bass. ;-)

I agree. Overrated. Most of his music is bland. What's not bland are these few shiny pieces everyone knows. He was talented, though. One or two piano fantasies, the C major piano concerto no. 25 and the Requiem are good. Plus a few arias in his melodramatic operas.
