Mozart String Quartet 19 (1/5) in Do Majeur "Dissonance"

[danielbream]

The best performance ever heard

[GabrielleduVent]

@danielbream For Mozart's Dissonance, I think this is unbeatable. The fragile balance, the tension... the synchronicity right before going into the body... is just amazing. I bought their CD just for this one track.

Mozart was never Haydn's student. Beethoven was. Haydn and Mozart were friends.

[MrFpam]

@GabrielleduVent In fact Haydn and Mozart learnt a lot from each other.

The reason Mozart dedicated the first six of his late, great quartets to Haydn was because he had learnt so much from Haydn's Op.20 and Op. 33 quartets.

He lavished great care on these works in order to attain a satisfactory standard which would not disappoint! It's one of the great stories of musical history how Haydn was inspired to write more really great quartets!

[GabrielleduVent]

@MrFpam Yeees, but Mozart was Haydn's "colleague". You can learn from your colleague, of course, but that does not imply that one is the said colleague's student.

Unfortunately, I hate Haydn with a passion and I hope to God that I never have to play any of his compositions ever again. Of all my musician friends I have yet to see one person who would tell me "my favourite composer is Haydn!". He may have been an excellent teacher, however.

excellent use of the ternary form

If only Mozart had lived to see Napoleaon and read Bryon,shelley if he had lived to be as old as Hadyn imagine. Beethoven would have to give up .Mozart def would have gone to newer places. We are so lucky to have BERLIOZ and Beethoven and Liszt Schumann Chopin. Well Mendelssohn forget Mosceles,spohr ,Hummel and da rest!

Adagio:

Evening, falling without any end, the eye of the death.

Allegro:

After this Adagio...like a try to smile. He tried to smile, but he could not, really. He knew, that this was only the surface and under this surface, there was an enormous, deep abyss, pronouncing all the pain, all the night from all possible universes.

He knew, that death's face was beautiful like the face of a child.

He spoke about this, and we hear it now.

Breathtaking music!

[ChopinAbsinthe]

This is so beautiful.

[Musiclver27]

Beautiful. I'm performing this in Italy soon :)

[manofthehoff]

[beethovenlovedmozart]

Gee..This sounds amazingly similar to some of Beethoven's last quartets..hmmm

[DubbedTheUnforgiven]

[DarkZekeX]

[DubbedTheUnforgiven]

"Dissonance."

What an eloquent, elegant and fitting name for a piece of music. An interesting (in a VERY good way) piece of work- I don't about you, but I'm still mesmerized by the logical, mathematical structure of Mozart's music. It's so perfect, yet so simple... ugh. Anyways, it's just amazing. Genius.

[Lukecash12]

A wonderful performance, and a great piece of Mozart.

[NaomiGigi]

@Lukecash12 interesting, isn't it?
