Mozart- Flute and Harp Concerto- i. Allegro part 1

[poliglotka2]

@LunaticFireflies

The painting is called "The Swing" (French: "Les hasards heureux de l'escarpolette") and was painted in 1767 by Jean-Honoré Fragonard.

[Sophiestelle]

Speaken in general, I think most of the Mozart music, is angels music!

[LunaticFireflies]

Can anyone please tell me the name of the painting/painter?

[saffnav]

oh sorry the flute comes in later

[saffnav]

this flute sound like an oboe... but maybe its just my ears??

[lebannerfan65]

Note to self: swell at 5.26!

@pcbh84: Ich bedanke mich fuer den Kommentar! Leider habe ich nicht die deutsche Sprache als Muttersprache und habe auch nicht Germanistik in Heidelberg studiert wie Sie. Sonst kann man nicht erklaeren Ihr stilisiertes fehlerfreies -Goethe aehnlich- Deutsch! Gott gebe dass ich von Ihre Sprachgenie verziehen werde.

P.S. Hochmut ist etwas das der Mensch mitgeboren und mitgestorben ist.Weder lernt's man nicht noch verlernt es. : )

[Alphaplz]

This is better than hip-hop, rock, metal etc.

[setenteromusic]

GREAT MUSIC!

[aristophron]

Wirkt die Muttersprache des Musikers in seinem Werk mit? Der deutsch-italienischer Sprachraum hat die meist verfeinerte und anspruchsvolle Musikproduktion der Welt. Traegt dazu die Mittelschwierigkeit des Deutschen und Italienischen bei, im Gegensatz der Hochschwierigkeit der Orientalischen Sprachen und der Einfachkeit des Englischen?Doch ein Musiker macht keine Musik aus Woerter, aber empfaengt die kosmische Harmonie Woerterweise. Moz-art beweist es...

@aristophron

Für jemanden, der Deutsch spricht, das war schrecklich. Englisch wäre zu kompliziert für Sie lernen, du Narr sein. Und lernen, nicht hochmütig zu sein.

Sublime Mozart.

[irakli667]

Devine!

[pipil63]

uilmaino!! of course this is classical music,angels concert?? is the best in music my friend!! have a good day!! Hi from Canada

[MrGunterguerrero]

Mozart composed this Concerto for Flute and Harp K.299 when he was 22...Legend really said that Wolfgang didn't like very much both instruments...but all the works written by the Salzburg genius are simply...divine !

[jlaurson]

btw:, recordholings, perhaps you know: the picture you are using is very racy. well, it *was* very racy. indeed, considered smut in its time. it's amusing and worth reading up on. :-)

[ucadr775af]

la pintura es del rococó y la obra es clásica, supongo que aun asi son un poco distantes...no se que opinan ustedes

[gankstro]

I bet Mozart would have loved Saxophone!! You can practically hear that he wanted his flute soloist on that gorgeous uninvented instrument!!!!!

[macevalac013]

its the most beautifull concert for harp ever writen, and its VeRy very dificuld to perform. I love it.

[hotwaiter]

The flute wasn't really the way we see it until Boehm created the transverse flute, which made it much easier to keep in tune and to enjoy - Mozart didn't like the flute as it was in his day because of all the flaws. He wrote this piece, I read, for a flute player who he didn't consider very good actually. I thought that was funny.

[dolofonos]

@hotwaiter Böhm did not invent the flauto traverso; he 'improved' it to meet certain requirements (at the expense of timbre).

[tazwell305]

Pure beauty!

[cecitramont]

recordholdings, do you have the name of the orchestra and soloists? I have heard other recordings of k. 299 but I like this one the best. Thanks!

[ulimaino]

I think it as an angels concert.... What is your opinion people?

[476892]

Because I can imagine little angels floating above both harp and flute, Ulimaino, I, agree!

[Mozafunkula]

Mozart Qualifies as a God!

[ulimaino]

@Mozafunkula yes and no... I don't believe a Wolfgang deaf being able to compose as Beethoven did.....

[saltyseaweed]

@ulimaino Why not? Mozart had the perfect pitch and photographic musical memory. You think he had to finger tunes on the keyboard while he composed?

[ulimaino]

@saltyseaweed I say this because Beethoven have an advantage. The romantic period involves the use of new intervals, styles, forms, techniques....

therefore a Beethoven deaf is more meritorius than a Mozart one.....

[saltyseaweed]

@ulimaino I'm not sure if I understand your response. Classical music also involved use of new intervals, styles, forms and techniques (compared to the Baroque age). I'm not sure what merit has to do with anything. There are probably many musicians who can compose without aid of an instrument. Beethoven's deafness is emphasized probably to add to his romantic qualities, not because it is an impossible feat.

[faleru]

@ulimaino two different people who would have had a different reaction to deafness, it is pointless to ask a question like that, but he would have been able to compose

[Sophiestelle]

@ulimaino Speaken in general, I think most of the Mozart music, is angels music!

[mrmolinodelahoz]

Of course one of the lovliest pieces ever written and Fragonard or Watteau painting is wonderful too.

Mozart complained that the trumpet was too loud for him. Badly played, any instrument is too loud.

[seismiccowboy]

Yeah...a trumpet tho....if it hits a bad note, it brings the whole orchestra down

[Sachachita123]

It's really good but I believe it's a little too fast. I'm a harpist myself and I can't imagine playing this piece that fast. I'm learning it now.

[leoperarm]

I thought he hated the trumpet, not the flute. Whatever, this music is amazing!!!

[endriagos]

in symphony nº 40 he changed flute parts to clarinet.... cause clarinet was invented near little after he compose s 40...

that was written in a sheet music that i read.....

my fucking english sucks....

[nakedBison69]

your fucking english sucks especially when you fucking use the fucking word fuck for fucking no fucking apparent reason. fuck

[endriagos]

....

[leoperarm]

LOL XDDDDD

[LiMaoTang]

fuck!

[AltoSaxLOVA]

amazing

[alilapointe1]

considering he hated the flute he never composed dull music

isn't he strange ?

[JonhRobsur13]

man, just be quiet please.

[sousukesagaraJKD]

he hated the trumpet, not the flute.

[TheOgres]

He didn't like the flute either.

[sousukesagaraJKD]

where did you read that? in his letters there's nothing like that. the only one who spoke about his childish hate for the trumpet was leopold. i'm interested!

[TheOgres]

Well I heard this music while listening to the local culture radio and the host said it. He said Mozart got an order to compose a concertino for flute and harp and though these were instruments he didn't like the music was, as usual, wonderful.

[sousukesagaraJKD]

Thanks, I didn't know this. I'll search for more informartions. =)

[srbiruga]

search on google "mozart hated flute"... it seems to be truth... just can't imagine how he composed this divine music without liking the instrument

[XEA6L]

He started not liking the flute after he composed this same concerto. Apparently, some rich hobby-flutist [and his very talented harpist daughter (Mozart's student)] commissioned this concerto. Mozart worked long and hard on the piece, and in the end it was accepted by the rich guy. However, the rich commissioner did not pay Mozart, and his bad attitude stated from there. Apparently most of the flutists that he met afterwards were rich and extremely arrogant [could not play in tune, etc.].

[hippygravy240]

I also heard he hated the trumpet. It's interresting on the things you can find on a person...

[MichaelnChristine]

An arrogant Flautist....nahhh.... lol

[Kikirimiau007]

That is something called Sense of duty.

[srbiruga]

i couldn't match duty and passion like this

[gankstro]

Flutes were not made with all the brilliant sound that they have today. Mozart also felt that when composing for flute he was restricted in what he wrote to ensure the instrument sounded well.

[jabdelbaky]

i love this!

[ManuelSpintoTenor]

In the solo part is amazing the way how Mozart made the 8ves with the harp! And then leaves with that arpegio's rain... It's excellent this piece!!!

[Annie10k]

Bravo!...

:)

[Annie10k]

Beautiful...

:)

[TuliporSomaliland]

what is the name/artist of that painting?

[viosnake]

It is called "The Swing" and it was painted by Jean-Honore FRAGONARD.... a masterpiece, indeed. Too bad you don't see its beauty here. Try searching it on google.

[NewNefertiti]

u are right it s extraordinary

[sciprio]

Thanks for uploading this.

[JohnAFoy]

magic

[Easelde]

Truly amazing to watch the flautist and harpist work together for this one.

[joboy1992jesto]

this is an awesome song!!!!!!!
