(born Salzburg, 27 January 1756; died Vienna, 5 December 1791).Milan, and acquainted himself with Italian styles.Mozart was not however paid).Mozart lived in Vienna for the rest of his life.But of course they must do as they please.Friends who have no religion cannot be long our friends.Mozart: The Man and the Artist, as Revealed in his own Words by Friedrich Kerst, trans.Wallace (Oxford University Press, 1865, digitized 2006) vol.My fatherland has always the first claim on me.Mozart: The Man and the Artist, as Revealed in his own Words by Friedrich Kerst, trans.There is scarcely a famous master in music whose works I have not frequently and diligently studied.Who knows most, knows least.Unsourced
All I insist on, and nothing else, is that you should show the whole world that you are not afraid.Mozart's music always sounds unburdened, effortless, and light.Mozart's music is an invitation to the listener to venture just a little out of the sense of his own subjectivity.Mozart's music is free of all exaggeration, of all sharp breaks and contradictions.Heaven arches over the earth, but it does not weigh it down, it does not crush or devour it.Leonard Bernstein
It is hard to think of another composer who so perfectly marries form and passion.Who has better known how to breathe anguish and dread into the purest and most exquisite forms?Often we meet with a condescending attitude towards him, to his music, reminiscent of chiming bells in a music box!Such comments only reveal one thing, these people don't know Mozart.Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
I find consolation and rest in Mozart's music, wherein he gives expression to that joy of life which was part of his sane and wholesome temperament.Mozart is the highest, the culminating point that beauty has attained in the sphere of music.Others
Mozart tells us what it's like to be human, Beethoven tells us what it's like to be Beethoven and Bach tells us what it's like to be the universe.Each represents a moment of the ideal life, each does us good.Our love is due to both.Mozart shows a creative power of such magnitude that one can virtually say that he tossed out of himself one great masterpiece after another.In my dreams of heaven, I always see the great Masters gathered in a huge hall in which they all reside.Together with the puzzle, Mozart gives you the solution.If we cannot write with the beauty of Mozart, let us at least try to write with his purity.It is a real pleasure to see music so bright and spontaneous expressed with corresponding ease and grace.Mozart encompasses the entire domain of musical creation, but I've got only the keyboard in my poor head.Mozart does not give the listener time to catch his breath, for no sooner is one inclined to reflect upon a beautiful inspiration than another appears, even more splendid, which drives away the first, and this continues on and on, so that in the end one is unable to retain any of these beauties in the memory.Mozart began his works in childhood and a childlike quality lurked in his compositions until it dawned on him that the Requiem he was writing for a stranger was his own.Mozart is sweet sunshine.Mozart is the greatest composer of all.Mozart's music is particularly difficult to perform.Mozart's joy is made of serenity, and a phrase of his music is like a calm thought; his simplicity is merely purity.It is a crystalline thing in which all the emotions play a role, but as if already celestially transposed.For one moment in the history of music all opposites were reconciled; all tensions resolved; that luminous moment was Mozart.In Mozart's music, all intensity are crystallized in the clearest, the most beautifully balanced and proportioned, and altogether flawless musical forms.In Bach, Beethoven and Wagner we admire principally the depth and energy of the human mind; in Mozart, the divine instinct.Mozart's music is the mysterious language of a distant spiritual kingdom, whose marvelous accents echo in our inner being and arouse a higher, intensive life.Mozart has reached the boundary gate of music and leaped over it, leaving behind the old masters and moderns, and posterity itself.They are clear, transparent, and joyful as a spring, and not only those muddy pools which seem deep only because the bottom cannot be seen.But in this ungainly body there dwelt an artistic genius such as Nature rarely bestows even upon her most treasured darlings.Mozart was able to do what he wished in music and he never wished to do what was beyond him.Give Mozart a fairy tale and he creates without effort an immortal masterpiece.The sonatas of Mozart are unique: too easy for children, too difficult for adults.Mozart is a world worth saving.The best of Mozart's works cannot be even slightly rewritten without diminishment.And music, finished as no music is ever finished.Mozart makes you believe in God because it cannot be by chance that such a phenomenon arrives into this world and leaves such an unbounded number of unparalleled masterpieces.Mozart's concertos dropping at my feet like leaves from the trees.Mozart touched no problem without solving it to perfection.Mozart's mental grip never loosens; he never abandons himself to any one sense; even at his most ecstatic moments his mind is vigorous, alert, and on the wing.The most tremendous genius raised Mozart above all masters, in all centuries and in all the arts.This page was last modified 16:01, 23 December 2007.All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.News about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, including commentary and archival articles published in The New York Times.Meaning, Is Dead at 89By KATHRYN SHATTUCKMr.Start a FestivalBy ANTHONY TOMMASINIIt was hard not to pinch yourself and wonder whether this really was the opening concert of the 41st Mostly Mozart Festival.Hey, Giovanni, Put a Shirt on.This was true of the production by Mannes Opera.April 9, 2007
