Mozart Piano Concerto No. 12 2nd mov.

[yuri28641]

No, I didn't think of JS Bach. Mozart learnt about JS Bach music much later in his life and this influenced his Jupiter symphony. But musically he was always very close to JC Bach. And this piece is the tribute to the memory of Johann Christian Bach.

I wasn't talking to you. My post was in response to supremustotus...

[Yuri2864]

This movement is Mozart's tribute to the memory of J.C.Bach. He used some melodies of J.C.Bach in it. Earlier he had composed a few piano concertos based on J.C.Bach's music. I know of no other composer who was so close to Mozart in his approach to music.

Makes me sleep.

@MucusFelidae hahaha. It doesn't make me feel that way, but I thought it was funny, your comment.

Great "toucher" on the piano

[caddencadden]

sorry but the people who made this kind if music were just ordinary people trying to make a living, i bet they had no idea their music would live on to this day and have us people talk about it like the way we do, oh my what i would do to go back in time and meet these great people and tell them what they have created for us. I CANNOT FIND MUSIC LIKE THIS FROM RECENT COMPOSERS ANYWHERE!

@caddencadden If they were as you say 'just ordinary people..' who were the extraordinary people?

[WolfgangusMozartus]

Beautiful version by a great maestro

maicol2931ruiz Excelentísima interpretación, por la sensibilidad y el refinamiento de las manos sobre el teclado. ¡¡¡Bravo!!! Atte.

Cosa si può desiderare di più della musica di Mozart? Finché esisterà l'uomo ci sarà sempre qualcuno che lo ringrazierà di aver fatto parte anche lui dell'umanità.

Linda musica!

Splendida interpretazione, di sublime semplicità e bellezza.

I'm working on this concerto now and this movement is just awesome! I love Ashkenazy's rendition... so simple and lovely!

Chaconnesque - I had no idea about that bit of history, thank you for that!

[AsSomedayItMayHappen]

This made me cry. It's such a simple concerto, but is executed so well here. Thank you very much.

When Mozart heard about JC Bach's death at age 46 in London in 1782, he wrote to his father and said 'what a loss to the musical world!'. Bach had died in poverty, and forgotten by the fickle public. But Mozart, of course, remembered. JC Bach was no less a genius than Haydn. Indeed his brothers WF Bach and CPE Bach are also sadly neglected geniuses. Their roles in the development of classical music have been frequently overlooked.

@WayneYLeigh Thanks for the history lesson.

[supremustotus]

@WayneYLeigh

Actually, When I think of Classical music, the first name that comes to mind is JS Bach. I don't know... Maybe that's just because I'm classically trained...

[jeunehomme9]

@supremustotus

You're thinking of Johann Sebastian Bach, they're talking about JC(Johann Christian) Bach, one of JS Bach's sons.

[mishaguitar]

i love all of you

[Chaconnesque]

He wrote it as a moving epitaph for his former mentor JC Bach, who had died that year. The main melody is taken from an opera by JC Bach.

[alefoxtrot]

JC Bach? who was it?

[WayneYLeigh]

Youngest son of JS Bach. Trained in Italy and became very famous composer in London. Mozart was his protege from 1764 onwards. Considered tbe biggest influence on Mozart before his Vienna period. Indeed Mozart consciously modeled his style after JC Bach, and never forgot his debt towards the older master.
