Mozart is a traveler of both time and space to create such beauty, n' timeless melodies. The essence of everything that is pure about the world. No matter how many composers, n' musicians I listen to, or even my own music for that matter will ever achieve such real, n' honest consciousness. Many come close, but this is definitely perfectly crafted music to vibrate through the universe. In all of this chaos, lies beauty, ' order. Finally.
I love Mozart above all others - but listen to the second movement of Thomaso Albinoni's Concerto for Oboe op.9 in D Minor. Which was written sometime before Mozart wrote this.
I usually listen to early punk and goth but every time I come to this video and hear this song it send those shivers down my spine like no other sound could ever. There is something in this, something beautiful and I know that years from now, when I non longer listen to Christian Death or the Dead Kennedys I will always return to this song because this IS music, pure perfection. It's touched the very spirit of humanity.
what type of intellectual basecamper would 'dislike' this? it's the most beautiful piece of music ever written... right up there with chopins op 9 no.2. loves it. x
The beauty of Mozart's music reminds us what it means to live and experience the world around us. Mozart marries simplicity with complexity better than any other composer.
Just beautiful,oh so beautiful! but why oh why do so many people who comment bring god into it? -nothing to do with god, any god, just beautiful music.
No and here is why. Art has a powerful influence on the mind of a person. It provides a mystery and subjective meaning and more often than not people link perfection and beauty (aesthetics of music) with something important (god, their life, family, friends). The music isn't actually the voice of God, in fact if you break it down it's nothing more than passion, creativity, and a strict adherence to the musical form.
Here's a question for you: I'll provide in next comment....
Question: Based on my previous response how do you think children/babies react to this kind of music? Do the have an emotional response similar to that of a grown human being? Do they draw parallels or meaning from the music about the their life or life around them?
@3L89nino i couldnt agree more just the other day i was slandered for playing a peice of chopin on piano , over a stero playing some crap pussycat dolls song...
Thanks to Mozart, to the inventors of the computer, the inventors of internet, to Youtube, to the inventors of headphones and to ClassicalMusicOnly group to let me enjoy tonight, performing exclusively for me at my home, such a magnific serenade.
'On a page, it looked nothing. The beginning simple, almost comic! Just a pulse...bassoon's, basset horns...like a rusty squeeze box. And then, suddenly...high above it...an oboe. A single note hanging there, unwavering, until the clarinet took it over. Sweetly let into a phrase of such delight! This was no composition of a performing monkey. This was a music I've never heard. Filled with such longing, such unfulfillable longing. It seemed to me that I was hearing the voice of God.' - Salieri
those lines you quoted are the best lines in that whole movie, capturing its essence. and what a fantastic movie it was! if nothing else, it is THE best introduction to classical music that I can think of

The Gran Partita has long been one of my favorite pieces of music, and I have several (quite!) different recordings of it. This one is extraordinary in tone and balance - who is it, and when was it recorded? I very much want to buy a copy of the whole work by this group. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious here, but I don't see the orchestra and conductor (if any) listed on this page anywhere.
@pmlwil This was performed by Academy of St Martin in the Fields, conducted by Neville Marriner. I'm pretty sure it's straight off the Amadeus soundtrack. And yeah, this recording is the best among all I've heard.
La canción es simplemente perfecta, es como escuchar la voz de Dios en un momento agradable bajo una lluvia cálida, y cuando esta termina en la noche, el claro firmamento mostrando las celestiales estrellas como pequeñas luminarias de la profunda obscuridad de la mágica noche.
I've been looking for this since I heard it on Amadeus. I am a Beethoven fan and haven't heard much Mozart but now I know why Beethoven was desperate to meet him. Thank you for posting.
When I heard this piece in Amadeus I cried because it was the most beautiful thing that my ears had heard at the time. I cried and cried, I love Mozarts music I hope it will be as lovely thousands of years from now as it was then and now:)
Music like this makes life worth living! No matter what crap the world is in, it's wonderful to know there is always such beauty as can make one weep...
Rejoice listeners, you may not have been gifted with the voice of God as Mozart, but you are at least one of the relatively few gifted with his ear!!!
Mozart was lucky to have a father who cared and the tools not tallent to thrive as is the case with ANY great master. Mentorship and tools and the desire and starting at age 3 helps
The instruments so perfectly balanced ... the melodies seemingly melting into each other still so clear and distinct. It's music so pure ... almost unbearably beautiful.
mozart was supernormal, gifted by God Himself with the music we hear now. a few such humans through history have been so divinely gifted in the arts: michelangelo, rembrandt, beethoven, puccini, lennon & mccartney. a few more, but their numbers are small and their art can be described as nothing less than divinely-inspired. They all made art that is, as you so elegantly stated it, almost unbearably beautiful.
Lennon and McCartney? Even Puccini? Without Byrd, or Tallis, or Taverner, or Tomkins, or Gibbons, or Palestrina, or Praetorius (Jakob and Michael), or Sweelinck, or Lassus, or Gesualdo...just to name a few artists in one field from one era.
Worshipping artists is a nice excuse for mediocrity, but fine art can be achieved with otherwise normal, admittedly natural, talent well disciplined and well developed.
Mozart was exceptional, but so were many, many others.
dude, have you ever even tried composing something remotly ass beautiful and intelligent as this??? , i mean you can pee in my shoes but dont tell me its raining, for fucks sake
Even though my original post would seem to have been deleted...you missed my point. You *can* learn this through discipline and hard work. Mozart was supremely gifted, no doubt, as he was quite precocious, but not all magnificent art comes from precocious prodigies - a good deal of it comes from disciplined and hardworking artists who learnt their craft well. There are many more than the "few others" named by the poster to whom I responded. Just try Gibbons, or some other guy with less PR.
In fact, if you are looking for an example of just sheer hard work, Brückner might be your man. He didn't begin composing until late in his life, but once he began - what beauty!
Ermm...you've just based your argument around a subjective opinion of mine which you guessed at wrongly.
Easily Tallis. If not him, Byrd; both men of quite equal genius. Look up Spem in Alium.
I LOVE Mozart, don't get me wrong - I just dislike this deification of five or so composers which does not give the whole corpus of music its due credit.
No, I'm asking you to be intellectually honest. As I understand it, you are saying Tallis or Byrd is as great a composer as Mozart. That is simply ludicrous. Just take a glance at what directors and musicians who have dedicated their lives to music chose to perform.
Are there underappreciated composers who deserve more acknowledgement? Certainly. Rebeling against authority is good to an extent but taking it as far as you have is just silly..
That's exactly what I'm saying. Byrd's music is easily as brilliant; his counterpoint is intricate, his melody is effective and beautiful, and his keyboard style laid the foundation for the Baroque.
There are ensembles and directors-a-plenty who have dedicated themselves to the performance of this music. The "Taliis Scholars" come to mind off the top of my head.
If you mean that symphony orchestras don't perform early choral music...that's rather obvious.
I won't judge your personal taste but you are at odds with the consensus.
Generally, being a great composer is not just about writing a beautiful piece or two. It also has to do with range and volume of work, as well as future influence. It can't be disputed that Mozart overshadows those you listed by a huge margin.
As for your last comment-you mean music lovers won't perform pieces simply because they are old? That's a silly argument. It's because they are not as significant.
@NihilNominis I agree. Mozart is my favourite composer, but I still recognise that Salieri, Muzio, Tom Linely, Martín y Soler, et. al. deserve recognition, too, but most people haven't even heard these names. I'll go so far as to say that these men are almost Mozart's equals. Haydn, too. Mozart himself admitted that he belived Haydn was a better composer. There's more to classical music than Mozart, Beethoven and Bach.
Wow, I never saw someone othe than I who was so passionate about Mozart, I am in DC concert orchestra and so many people think that his music has to many notes but I think it's pure lovely.
I reckon they'll remember Lennon and McCartney in 200 years time. After all they are one of the classics of this age. And I bet you that they said exactly the same of Mozart at the time. Pucker up baby! :D
and since it has been brought up i do think he is the greatest now for his simplicity and complexities infact his music could even be described as ergonomically stunning and i dont see too many films being made on other composers really AMADEUS with eight oscars anyone?it didnt even have to be factual the mere fact it was made about him well enough said!
well it doesnt matter who argues over what there are loads of great composers but the simple fact is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart has been deemed western societies greatest composer for ALL music genres in his time AND THATS A FACT LOOK IT UP IN HISTORY and there are so many even today that are still influenced by him and my personal opinion says he was the most genius of them all but thats just me
Who decided that he is the greatest composer for all music? You are forgetting about so many other composers, and to name one composer as the greatest is stupid. Mozart's music is great, but as a musicologist and composer, I must say a few things. First--Mozart's orchestrations are, in my own opinion, elementary. They are not complex. They are simple and I feel that they lack his won character. His compositions seem like something that would come out of his father's books.
What I am not going to deny is Mozart's talent. His compositions are relaxing. And the extreme simplicity of them really describes his ability to pull off such things that other composers would consider too easy. When it comes to opera, I do feel that Mozart takes the lead; however, his instrumental music is not the best. Look at Beethoven's middle works, and Haydn? What about C.P.E. Bach? Early Schubert? Boccherini? Salieri? Dittersdorf?
@0Bariguy8 Beethoven once told his pupil Czerny that Mozart's String Quartet No.18 in A major K.464 is SO harmonically ADVANCED that it was Mozart's way of saying to the world "look what I can do when you're ready for it!". After a performance of piano concerto No.24 in C minor K.491 in 1799, Beethoven told Cramer "we shall NEVER be able to do anything like that..." (Beethoven modelled his own A major quartet Op.18, C minor piano concerto Op.37 after them respectively)
@0Bariguy8 "I've always counted myself amongst the greatest admirers of Mozart and shall remain so until my last breath." -L.V.Beethoven (Cambridge Companion to Concerto By Simon Keefe) (you can find the page on google)
Now, there is a man who knows advanced music when he hears it.
If you go in depth in studying Mozart's music, you'll find, more than many of his contemporaries, he favored writing complex music.
I'm not a musicologist or a composer - even I know these things...
@0Bariguy8 - Be honest, you're no musicologist. Mozart's orchestration is more complex than, say, Chopin's, who was often criticized for his lack of orchestration skills (not to underrated Chopin's musical genius, it's just a field that's totally different from improvisationary piano music) You can approach from analyzing counterpoint etc. Mozart's late works, such as the piano concerto No.24 is complex, which has mulititudes of sections where the piano plays ingenious fugues with the orchestra.
like i said it has been deemed that in history that he is the greatest composer for music genres of his time i didnt personally say he was the greatest and i dont know who siad he was BUT surely by what you have siad simplicity is one of the key cores to greatness?complexity comes in many forms and where he was complex i will say is in his mind maybe not his music?i mean how many composers out there could really listen to one piece and play it from what they heard in one sitting?
The simplicity of Mozart's music is a strength, not weakness. Complexity has no direct correlation with beauty and in fact is often a distraction. It appeals people who would rather dissect than appreciate. As Shakespeare said, brevity is the soul of wit.
As for instrumental pieces, really? Who did horn concertos better? Flute concertos better? Better chamber pieces? Very few did piano concertos better? Not sure if I get you.
@0Bariguy8 well, I think you're not a musicologist, or a composer, at least not a serious one. You studied music, composition, and has never heard of Mozart's Jupiter Symphony? The miraculous 5-subject fugue at the end of the finale is so complex that one can only conclude he mastered the contrapuntal elements of Baroque writing. Also, if you want to find early uses of dissonance in music history, listen to his late string quartets, most notably Quartet No.19 in C major "dissonance" (continued)
@0Bariguy8 THAT'S not all. If you want to find some of the earliest uses of 12-tone in the music of the classical era, listen to the development section of the famous Symphony No.40 in G minor (FOURTH MVNT), and Fantasia in F minor for Mechanical Organ K.608. Whatabout his use of whole-tone scales? Consider "Musical Joke" K.522.
@0Bariguy8 I'm annoyed whenever people who don't really know his music display prejudice by trying to analyze his music from their limited knowledge of it. Plus, you pretend to be a musicologist.
They never bother to explore his more complex music. Listening to just one of them, not even that, just a section of a piece - the multi-subject ending of the finale of the Jupiter Symphony. How long does that take?
Let me tell you, your biased analysis gets you nowhere.
@chopinandliszt I am neither annoyed by, nor interested in, your opinions, facts as you would have it . . . but this is a public forum, and if you insist on being a windbag, you shall have to learn to tolerate those of us who are unimpressed with your pomposity.
Ups, you want to annoy us?! <Hey dude, Not seriously meant, or? Ok, you like wagner over all, but greatness, perfection and finishing belongs to Mozart.
I wasn't a follower of Mozart compositions, 'cos I consider he was too much repetitive and so limitated by exigences of classicism. Nonetheless, when I heard this piece, I find PERFECTION!! just exquisite, graceful, amazing.. simply sublime; Mozart simply sublime.. totally ineffable!!
Right. The statement that Mozart's music is repetitive is nonsensical to me. I would say, Beethoven is more repetitive than Mozart, (although both were geniuses) when I practice Beethoven sonata finales, I actually find myself skipping repeats... Others may disagree, but take Mozart rondo K494 for example, the theme gets complicated and improvisational as the piece progresses. It's not at all repetitive.
god i love the part the oboe plays in this song, i used to love listening to this piece when i was a kid, havnt heard it in awhile. thank you for uploading.

Even though my original post would seem to have been deleted...you missed my point. You *can* learn this through discipline and hard work. Mozart was supremely gifted, no doubt, as he was quite precocious, but not all magnificent art comes from precocious prodigies - a good deal of it comes from disciplined and hardworking artists who learnt their craft well. There are many more than the "few others" named by the poster to whom I responded. Just try Gibbons, or some other guy with less PR.

In fact, if you are looking for an example of just sheer hard work, Brückner might be your man. He didn't begin composing until late in his life, but once he began - what beauty!

Except none of those measure up to Mozart.
If you could have any of them compose a piece for you, who would you choose over Mozart? Nobody, that's who.
Now, Bach or Beethoven, maybe. Although I prefer Mozart personally.

Ermm...you've just based your argument around a subjective opinion of mine which you guessed at wrongly.
Easily Tallis. If not him, Byrd; both men of quite equal genius. Look up Spem in Alium.
I LOVE Mozart, don't get me wrong - I just dislike this deification of five or so composers which does not give the whole corpus of music its due credit.
NihilNominis 2 years ago
No, I'm asking you to be intellectually honest. As I understand it, you are saying Tallis or Byrd is as great a composer as Mozart. That is simply ludicrous. Just take a glance at what directors and musicians who have dedicated their lives to music chose to perform.
Are there underappreciated composers who deserve more acknowledgement? Certainly. Rebeling against authority is good to an extent but taking it as far as you have is just silly..
saltyseaweed 2 years ago
That's exactly what I'm saying. Byrd's music is easily as brilliant; his counterpoint is intricate, his melody is effective and beautiful, and his keyboard style laid the foundation for the Baroque.
There are ensembles and directors-a-plenty who have dedicated themselves to the performance of this music. The "Taliis Scholars" come to mind off the top of my head.
If you mean that symphony orchestras don't perform early choral music...that's rather obvious.
NihilNominis 2 years ago
"Tallis Scholars"* of course. Taliis scholars seems vaguely Norwegian to me...

I won't judge your personal taste but you are at odds with the consensus.
Generally, being a great composer is not just about writing a beautiful piece or two. It also has to do with range and volume of work, as well as future influence. It can't be disputed that Mozart overshadows those you listed by a huge margin.
As for your last comment-you mean music lovers won't perform pieces simply because they are old? That's a silly argument. It's because they are not as significant.
saltyseaweed 2 years ago
@NihilNominis I agree. Mozart is my favourite composer, but I still recognise that Salieri, Muzio, Tom Linely, Martín y Soler, et. al. deserve recognition, too, but most people haven't even heard these names. I'll go so far as to say that these men are almost Mozart's equals. Haydn, too. Mozart himself admitted that he belived Haydn was a better composer. There's more to classical music than Mozart, Beethoven and Bach.

and since it has been brought up i do think he is the greatest now for his simplicity and complexities infact his music could even be described as ergonomically stunning and i dont see too many films being made on other composers really AMADEUS with eight oscars anyone?it didnt even have to be factual the mere fact it was made about him well enough said!

well it doesnt matter who argues over what there are loads of great composers but the simple fact is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart has been deemed western societies greatest composer for ALL music genres in his time AND THATS A FACT LOOK IT UP IN HISTORY and there are so many even today that are still influenced by him and my personal opinion says he was the most genius of them all but thats just me
thickerthanblood01 2 years ago
Who decided that he is the greatest composer for all music? You are forgetting about so many other composers, and to name one composer as the greatest is stupid. Mozart's music is great, but as a musicologist and composer, I must say a few things. First--Mozart's orchestrations are, in my own opinion, elementary. They are not complex. They are simple and I feel that they lack his won character. His compositions seem like something that would come out of his father's books.
0Bariguy8 2 years ago
What I am not going to deny is Mozart's talent. His compositions are relaxing. And the extreme simplicity of them really describes his ability to pull off such things that other composers would consider too easy. When it comes to opera, I do feel that Mozart takes the lead; however, his instrumental music is not the best. Look at Beethoven's middle works, and Haydn? What about C.P.E. Bach? Early Schubert? Boccherini? Salieri? Dittersdorf?

@0Bariguy8 Beethoven once told his pupil Czerny that Mozart's String Quartet No.18 in A major K.464 is SO harmonically ADVANCED that it was Mozart's way of saying to the world "look what I can do when you're ready for it!". After a performance of piano concerto No.24 in C minor K.491 in 1799, Beethoven told Cramer "we shall NEVER be able to do anything like that..." (Beethoven modelled his own A major quartet Op.18, C minor piano concerto Op.37 after them respectively)

@0Bariguy8 "I've always counted myself amongst the greatest admirers of Mozart and shall remain so until my last breath." -L.V.Beethoven (Cambridge Companion to Concerto By Simon Keefe) (you can find the page on google)
Now, there is a man who knows advanced music when he hears it.
If you go in depth in studying Mozart's music, you'll find, more than many of his contemporaries, he favored writing complex music.
I'm not a musicologist or a composer - even I know these things...
chopinandliszt 1 year ago
@0Bariguy8 - Be honest, you're no musicologist. Mozart's orchestration is more complex than, say, Chopin's, who was often criticized for his lack of orchestration skills (not to underrated Chopin's musical genius, it's just a field that's totally different from improvisationary piano music) You can approach from analyzing counterpoint etc. Mozart's late works, such as the piano concerto No.24 is complex, which has mulititudes of sections where the piano plays ingenious fugues with the orchestra.
chopinandliszt 1 year ago
like i said it has been deemed that in history that he is the greatest composer for music genres of his time i didnt personally say he was the greatest and i dont know who siad he was BUT surely by what you have siad simplicity is one of the key cores to greatness?complexity comes in many forms and where he was complex i will say is in his mind maybe not his music?i mean how many composers out there could really listen to one piece and play it from what they heard in one sitting?
thickerthanblood01 2 years ago
Man, I know what you mean, I respect all the other Great Composers, but none of them composed at the age of 5!
No one wrote an excess of 600 pieces including 41 symphonies in a life span of 36 years!
And i never heard of the Beethoven Effect or the Haydn effect, Only Mozart Effect.

@0Bariguy8
The simplicity of Mozart's music is a strength, not weakness. Complexity has no direct correlation with beauty and in fact is often a distraction. It appeals people who would rather dissect than appreciate. As Shakespeare said, brevity is the soul of wit.
As for instrumental pieces, really? Who did horn concertos better? Flute concertos better? Better chamber pieces? Very few did piano concertos better? Not sure if I get you.
saltyseaweed 2 years ago
@0Bariguy8 well, I think you're not a musicologist, or a composer, at least not a serious one. You studied music, composition, and has never heard of Mozart's Jupiter Symphony? The miraculous 5-subject fugue at the end of the finale is so complex that one can only conclude he mastered the contrapuntal elements of Baroque writing. Also, if you want to find early uses of dissonance in music history, listen to his late string quartets, most notably Quartet No.19 in C major "dissonance" (continued)
chopinandliszt 1 year ago 2
@0Bariguy8 THAT'S not all. If you want to find some of the earliest uses of 12-tone in the music of the classical era, listen to the development section of the famous Symphony No.40 in G minor (FOURTH MVNT), and Fantasia in F minor for Mechanical Organ K.608. Whatabout his use of whole-tone scales? Consider "Musical Joke" K.522.
chopinandliszt 1 year ago
@0Bariguy8 I'm annoyed whenever people who don't really know his music display prejudice by trying to analyze his music from their limited knowledge of it. Plus, you pretend to be a musicologist.
They never bother to explore his more complex music. Listening to just one of them, not even that, just a section of a piece - the multi-subject ending of the finale of the Jupiter Symphony. How long does that take?
Let me tell you, your biased analysis gets you nowhere.

I wasn't a follower of Mozart compositions, 'cos I consider he was too much repetitive and so limitated by exigences of classicism. Nonetheless, when I heard this piece, I find PERFECTION!! just exquisite, graceful, amazing.. simply sublime; Mozart simply sublime.. totally ineffable!!
Thanks for posting!!
Hopffnung 2 years ago 7
Right. The statement that Mozart's music is repetitive is nonsensical to me. I would say, Beethoven is more repetitive than Mozart, (although both were geniuses) when I practice Beethoven sonata finales, I actually find myself skipping repeats... Others may disagree, but take Mozart rondo K494 for example, the theme gets complicated and improvisational as the piece progresses. It's not at all repetitive.
