I have studied music deeply for over 50 years and I am convinced that Mozart was the greatest of all. He was a genius touched by the Divine. Beethoven was inspired by him. Mozart composed aged 5 and on his death bed could compose 9 parts simultaneously without correction. How can you compose 600 masterpieces and die at 35? It's unreal.

Arguably his music was "perfect". You could say it needs to be this way or that but you would be wrong. They keep going back to the phrase "without mistakes". They illustrate how perfect his handwriting was on his original compositions without errors or corrections. His music isn't fit to be improved upon or interpreted its beyond anything ever done in the history of music its pristine. I can't listen to it for more than a few minutes or I start having an emotional seizure and begin babbling like a crazy person like Salieri and burst into tears of joy.

Mozart's genius lay in his simplicity. Bach's genius lay in his ability to make complex pieces so outstanding. Beethoven was something else, can't describe him. Vivaldi was a one-album wonder, but still continues to capture the imagination of music lovers. All the 4 are special to me.

I recommend you try listen to Vivaldis La stravanganza, and see if dont feel like taking that comment back. A ‘funny’ thing about Mozarts music is that while we today perveive especially a lost childlike simplicity in it, at the time he started gaining fame in france and italy many people would find in him rather a special deep quite german melancholy, the sound of an inner tiredness...like that warm scent of dusty park road on a rainy spring day i think people associate with him.

The genius of Mozart is shown in his musical pranks. He wrote a song called “Come Scoglio” for a singer he really did not like. The song took advantage of her tendency to tilt her head back on high notes and lower her chin on low ones by having constant leaps between high and low notes and thus causing her head to bob like a chicken on stage.
@riffsthatkill2180
@riffsthatkill2180 5 месяцев назад
Pretty sure he also wrote a piece for piano that had a very wide left and right hand position, to be played at the same time, with a single note right in the middle of the keyboard between the hands. Obviously, without three hands, that middle note needed to be played with either the nose or... something else.

One thing to remember about Mozart’s crude humor is that it was very prevalent in that period. Almost everyone had that type of humor and I find it quite hilarious. It would make sense that those people who were expected to hold themselves to such a high standard in every aspect of their lives would find such joy and rebelliousness in crude humor. Opera boxes during that time to were the equivalent of the vip section of a club with many drinks and promiscuous women. We just see the paintings and think that those people were extremely classy, which they were to an extent, but they were also humans and enjoy a good fart joke!

Mozart’s greatness is comparable to Bach or Beethoven. He’s the only one of the big three to write complete masterpieces in every major genre. Symphony, Choral, Sonata, Chamber. Concerto, OPERA? No problem! His later works include elements of Bach, and what will become trademarks of Romanticism. He stands shoulder to shoulder with Bach and Beethoven, but never below.

(FYI, that's 6 and 12 studio albums, respectively for these Rock legends.) I can't tell how shocked I was to learn, that I was going to have to buy over 3000 records to have a complete Mozart collection. I never did get a complete collection, but I did get quite a lot. I'm old now and still listen regularly.

My interpretation - he had a freakishly high spec brain, similar to someone like Newton, maybe not quite that much of an extreme outlier, but some part of his brain was simply capable of creative supernovas. He also had a very privileged upbringing, that was able to nurture and facilitate those raw creative powers in the form of musical composition. This allowed him to have novel ideas that built on what came before him, so we got a decade or so of constant mini eureka’s!, he aggressively moved music forward. Or at least he happened to be the first brain that had new insights with regards to musical composition, that broke new ground and allowed all other brains to start entertaining new ideas that simply hadn’t occurred to them. There are many just like him, before and after, that have achieved similar things in other genres of music, and other disciplines. It has to be someone, after all. Usually it’s more incremental and attributed to a “wave”, it often feels like it came directly from the zeitgeist itself. But on occasions like these, it’s more explosive and localised to one mind. It’s just a perfect storm - the right brain at the time in the right place with the right tools.

I think it is highly debatable that Mozart was a lesser genius than Bach or Beethoven! I am in awe of the genius of all three, but Mozart produced masterpieces in every single musical genre of his era. Where are the great operas of Bach? Remember that this was the primary test of skill in an 18th century composer...Beethoven's Fidelio contains some sublime music...but as an opera? You see with Mozart we get two geniuses in one...an absolute master of pure music, and a dramatic genius of the stage whose theatrical grasp of the force of music is unsurpassed...and at its most mature rivals Shakespeare in profundity.

He was a prolific composer, but 3/4 of his works were lost in the French Revolution and destroyed by Napoleon Bonaparte at the very beginning of the XIX siecle. There's even one documentary about his life here on RU-vid, but it would be great if you could help to spread his achievements so that more people become aware of his existence and his musical output.

I love that flute & harp concerto:) Mozart touches the soul like no other. The greatness of Beethoven would soon follow. A man inspired so much from Mozart's genius.

I will argue that Mozart was the greatest in that he excelled in all forms of music Opera, Symphony, Chamber, Church, and on, while the other, as great as they are, limited by choice or chance to only specific areas.

"But it also means literally love God". No, it doesn't. "Amadeus" wasn't Mozart's middle name. His name was Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgang Theophilus. "Amadeus" is fake Latin; a grammatically unsound attempt to translate the Greek name Theophilus. Mozart called himself Amadé, not Amadeus. The name Amadeus was popularised after his death; I imagine that was because the French-sounding name was incompatible with the anti-French sentiment in Austria and Germany during the 1790s and 1800s. As a final nitpick, Theophilus/Amadeus/Amadé doesn't mean "loves God", but "loved by God". "Loves God" would be Philotheos.

this is extremely well put, and most concise. I have often thought of the same. He always signed himself "Amadé" Thank you for reminding us of this. I will listen to Mozart until my ears can hear no more, and I am here no more.

8:32 to 8:41 I loved that description! I had the same thoughts in my head listening to some of Beethoven's compositions! The melodies along with the harmony would be so "real" that one would think "there's no way that this was composed one note at a time!!!" . It's as if the complete composition was sent as a gift from the universe to the composer to write and bring to life.
@annettegenovesi4012

Composing is like a woman being pregnant. You get the germ of an idea, then it grows and you get excited about it, then you think of it night and day, until one day it's born, and perfect and whole. No magic about it. But without the musical genes this would never happen.
@David-R.
@David-R. 2 года назад
@@annettegenovesi4012 I understand that what you said is 100% true. (replying 2 years later lol) What I meant was that it's all "in there" and he's just extracting it. His brain produced this music; It had to make sense to HIM not really caring about what anyone thinks. Some motives or phrases amaze me so much that it's sometimes hard for me to believe that he was just experimenting with the keys until he heard something he liked. It sounds to me like it came to him as a whole, and then yeah, he built on it. But even when building on it, it gets better and presents the unexpected. Beethoven did that too, and so all the other great composers like Rachmaninoff, Chopin and others. But he was extremely musically fluent compared to his predecessors, it was a huge jump in composition.

For amateur musicians, and even some connoisseurs, Mozart's biggest achievement in music is his alleged "simplicity". Nothing more untrue, however. Mozart produced extensive counterpoint and fugues, elaborate harmonic nuances, complex modulations, diatonicism and chromaticism, and more. Even his "simplicity" is deceiving. Moreover, Mozart's genius is unparalleled also due to his unmatched versatility. Symphonies, operas, sonatas, concerts, masses, duos, trios, quartets, quintets, you name it. To us, and many others, Mozart is the undisputed greatest composer next to Bach. As Tchaikovsky accurately described him: "Mozart is the musical Christ".

@Eyes-of-Horus 3 года назад
Probably one major influences on Mozart's genius was the fact that music was a major part of his life from throughout gestation period. He was surrounded by music since conception. His mother was a singer. His older sister was a pianist (who gave up a promising career for his genius). His father was a composer, conductor and musician. So, he was surrounded by music all the time. Also can't forget the part that genetics played in his genius: His perfect pitch; his memory; his skilled hands and fingers; and his creativity. It all came together to produce the Mozart we know.
