[Osgualdo1]

daddy yankee?

[DrMurx]

An excellent recording, thank you for posting! I never heard the complex harmonics of the initial Adagio interpreted with so much precision and emotional intensity...

[MrConvivator]

Danke, habe Link gesetzt

[1AdrianR]

I will never get over the magic of the first minute and forty seconds. It never ceases to amaze.

[iampoopforsale]

@aloipat no, this is written by mozart.

[Adghar]

@iampoopforsale pretty sure aloipat was joking about how avant-garde the introduction was.

[aloipat]

I think there's a mistake in the title. The MUSIC is by Berg and the musicians are the MOZART quartet. ;)

[xxxxcensoredxxx]

oh my god, C major has never been so meaningful to me before.

@unavoltatanto3485 I realise you posted this four months ago, but nonetheless...

Analysis enriches our appreciation for art as it is only through analysis that the hidden depths of the artistic endeavour or of the reflection on the audience can be fully understood. The death of creativity is caused by the rise of technologies which remove the need for in-depth study of the craft and which reward quick, shallow composition over forethought, practice and effort.

[Unbihexium]

@Useless2112 Thank God, there is no such technology. And if there will be, the medium carrying this capacity would be comparable to a clever human. :)

[terrabun]

@Useless2112 you can't blame technology for any 'death of creativity' (there's been no such thing btw). If that were true then composers who cling to the purely classical paradigm would still be at the cutting edge.. they aren't. If anything it's the composers who embrace the technology while still putting in the forethought, practice and effort and who understand their craft (making music) who are doing the interesting things these days.

[Useless2112]

@terrabun I agree with you, but I wasn't really talking about composers. I was talking about the music business, which has no interest in creativity and is increasingly able to produce music and performers without much actual talent, thanks largely to production technology.

bellissima musica!

[faleru]

Mozart no tiene un próposito, cree en su propia grandeza y talento, avanza sin un rumbo especifico, el no trata de hacer musica, él es la musica

[manofthehoff]

@unavoltatanto3485 I admit there are unanalyzable aspects to his music, but it is still wonderful to try to guess why they make me tingle or stimulate such pathos.

[manofthehoff]

@unavoltatanto3485 I love Mozart, and he is quite wonderful to analyze as well. Although he may be generally more harmonically simple than Brahms or Strauss, this simply makes his unusual harmonies have much more impact. Also, the harmonically simple sections of Mozart are never contrapuntally or thematically simple; his brilliant counterpoint and motivic manipulation are much of what make his music so good.

[manofthehoff]

@unavoltatanto3485 I find that analyzing music helps me to better appreciate the genius behind it. For me, music exists on two interrelated levels: one emotional, the other intellectual. The point of music theory (to a great extent) is to discover the relationships between these. Why does this part sound sad, this part exciting, why does this part make me feel like there is nothing in the world but happiness? Music theory can give me a window into the many possibilities of answers.

[Liebanus]

Así que si buscais romanticismo, revelación, locura... en Mozart no lo vais a encontrar. Afortunadamente la música da para mucho más que eso. Yo por mi parte nunca he escuchado una música más sincera y expresiva que la de Mozart.

[Liebanus]

Me dan pena a los que les aburre Mozart; quizás es por la razón de que son todos unos superficiales y llenos de prejuicios que les hacen incapaces de disfrutar con la simpleza de la naturalidad unida a la profundidad de la belleza. Justo lo más dificil de alcanzar. El Dr.Tomatis lo dice todo: "A Mozart no le interesa en absoluto revelarse en nosotros, sorprendernos, dejarnos atónitos. Al contrario, con su música nos conduce a un lugar donde comenzamos a ser nosotros mismos"

[gleedads]

I love the slow intro. to this movement! I played in a string quartet with friends in high school and we were blown away when we sight read that intro. We played it again about 5 times before going on to attempt the rest of the movement (which was way too difficult for us).

I like to put on a recording of the intro for people and get them to guess the composer. If they know classical music but aren't familiar with this quartet they usually guess Schoenberg, Hindemith or maybe R. Strauss.

[mmmjcr]

someone knows how's the real name of histery opera?

[MariaHillFlute]

Urm.boring? If you couldnt write over 400 works there was always a job selling tomatoes.

[pedrovski10]

Late beethoven is influenced by this. Imagine what mozart would have written if he'd lived another 20 years

[javierleonenriquez]

you never know... Maybe he died for an artistic reason too, or maybe not. But please, to everybody, don´t try to compare Mozart and Beethoven. They´re both very different and they´re both incredible composers. People may like one or the other, but about likes there´s nothing written

DSCH

Holy schnitzels.

[hypsophilus]

D.S.C.H.

[achan1058]

D.S.C.H. wannabe, you mean.

[Ormaaj]

Yes the performance is the interesting part of this type of music.

[Ormaaj]

My opinion isn't just arbitrary, it comes from analyzing Mozart. If I am ignorant, please enlighten me.

[lucioscp]

so beautifull,pre-romantism or romantism whatever,this is so sublime and Mozart was and is the greatest and skillous composer ever

[mtend06]

Compared to whom? Why do we always have to get into this 'He is the greatest' routine. There are many great, original musical minds to be admired and appreciated. To say that one is better than all others is just silly.

[lucioscp]

@mtend06 yes,for me and for many he was(is) the greatest and skiillous,..even Beethoven was in love by his music,and Chopin too,Schubert too...Tchaikovsky too

[Lotrompetista]

mozart rules

[Dyzigi]

This is beautiful, Angelina Jolie beautiful in fact.

[young5ever]

You rule Wolfgang!!!

[cellist140887]

Mozart is still a composer of the great present time, I think.

[mmpp123]

This song is in star trek :D

[elisaballerina456]
