Leopold Mozart - Toy Symphony

[Soitisisit]

Little bit of an interest in the lesser known Mozart.

[edosalp]

This work is not from Mozart or Hyden, the composer is a benedictine monk, his name is Edmund Angerer, he lived in the high tirol, Austria, and those three movements are part of a Cassasion. Please correct your references.

[Soitisisit]

@edosalp Well, may I see a composition piece by this monk? What are your references? (Curious not accusative.)

[dominoes37]

I can see where Wolfgang gets his talents from

[Soitisisit]

@dominoes37 I guess? What about Karl? XD Seriously... it took me much searching to find any of Leopold's works, but what about the works of Wolfgang's son. They're even harder to find.

[unnamed1999]

Ten utwór fajnie by zabrzmiał w plenerze, najlepiej w jakimś parku ze stawem...

[Inness54]

A Leopold Mozart original manuscript confirmed this his work, not Haydn. But for years it was debated Haydn might have written it. This is a delightful performance of the work too. I love the attention given to the crusic quotation of the Landler, with a challenge of the rule during Allegro in two, and Adagio e Finale in three. Like son, like father.

[Manueb84]

@Inness54 thanks for the story! :)

[Inness54]

由樂隊的令人敬畏的音樂表現。 喝彩聲!

[dandanjanett1]

I'M DRUNK AND DANCING!

[MrVieca]

I play that in my orchestra it is great!

[Frottussle]

From what we have read about Leopold Mozart, it doesn't seem very probable he would compose a piece like this. We can, however, imagine Joseph Haydn writing it for the children of the Esterhazy family who was his longtime patron and employer.

[JRowanTrumpet009]

@Frottussle This piece was mistakenly attributed to Haydn for years. It has been confirmed to be the work of Leopold Mozart. He was very enthusiastic about "naturalistic" music as he put it, hence the sounds one would not normally hear in music from his time period, but in nature. The same can be seen in his "Jagdinsinfonie", which is scored for hunting horns, shotguns, shouting, and barking dogs. He was a revolutionary composer for his time, but his work was overshadowed by his son, Wolfgang.

[Bseriesxlp]

My dad used to play this for me when I was a little kid. I loved it (and still). :)

[dahaka60]

Who is the Orchestral Master? :) ( I believe that is not the correct word ... Sorry guys )

[cogexman]

@dahaka60

maestro? idk how it is spelled lol

[FailiFail]

no importa si el autor es Angerer, Haydn o Leopold Mozart: se trata de una hermosa y tierna composición musical, para mí, emocionante. Debería estar a la par del Danubio Azul en los conciertos de Navidad. Milagro, Fray Joaquín, sería que los directores de la Banda Sinfónica de Montevideo, la Orquesta Filarmónica de Montevideo o la OSSODRE la incluyeran en su repertorio. No perdamos la esperanza, si no, no caminaremos sobre las aguas.

[clouk222]

so good!!!!



[Funnyunda]

Marvellous!! Thank you! I will jump to it every day!

[myrtiewebb1943]

It is difficult to find this wonderful piece for children. My grand kids laughed and laughed when they heard this as babies.

[AnitaV09]

Sweet we did this in Chamber Orch. with my school! It's quirky and fun.

[Cronopioslover274]

What a great performance and direction!

Am I childish or this symphony really rocks!

[trucha1618xx]

Awersome! Lovely music!

[LAOTRACOLOMBIA77]

@trucha1618xx tienes razon ...esta pieza musical es grandiosa .......la belleza canta atraves de ella

[Fluffypopcicle]

only 1 part? hardly a symphony, but still very beautiful.

[dadnapt24]

Leopold Mozart did wright this, it sounds like MOZART music.

[rottenpancakes]

@dadnapt24 it is mozart music you buffoon.

[dadnapt24]

@rottenpancakes shut up you shit-for-brains

[Fordrasyle]

@rottenpancakes @dadnapt24 Please don't fight... if we can all agree that this is great music, then I hope people can be forgiven for not reading the title carefully...

[MrAlpixoid]

@Fordrasyle stfu.

[Fordrasyle]

@MrAlpixoid Sigh... This is what I get for trying to be civil...

[MrAlpixoid]

@Fordrasyle no,this is what it happens when you give Logan a 4-track.

[pupss96261]

I love it!

[labavi1]

I am shure, Haydn, vrrote, chek it. I am professional musician. Sorry for my bad Englich :). No, maybe I wrong....Sorry. The style of Symphony is Haydns.

.

[DrewClaireBaylor]

God, I suck at playing violin on this song! We have to play it a little faster and it' EXETREMELY HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel weak.

[labavi1]

Its J. Haydn, not L. Mozart,

[cogexman]

@labavi1

no, l mozart wrote it

[dhwani182]

@deadlift65: oh thanks for the info :) ..probably the conductor felt that this sounded better! :D

[CeashXD]

Press 4 then 3...

beautiful ending :)))

[CeashXD]

listening to this for my homework....

[ivykwan]

@CeashXD lucky u

[Andrew1441Drummer]

@CeashXD SAME

[frglee]

Carefully executed,but this is such a fun piece of music and yet everyone looks so serious...I think they might be missing the point.

[909kong]

@frglee which is the way Classical music has been since way-back-when.

[haranoe]

@909kong You mean since XVIIIth century music (Classical music properly) was considered to be "daring" or "original" enough to be put on a par with the "serious" XIXth century canon of one-hour symphonies and three-hour operas full of fury and constipation.

In any case, that is a Japan audience, and so far I have only seen one youtube clip with a roaring audience, at the end of a performance of the AAM-Hogwood team. Even a HUGE fan of AAM's symphonic Mozart like me finds that rather shocking.

[FER1PMD]

This song is so relaxing. It helps me think and write.

[KaulitzMolecule]

It's beautiful <3

[serbchika]

hey what are the toys used in this symphony??

[dhwani182]

which is the instrument used in 7:08?

[deadlift65]

@dhwani182 It's a small Pan flute. BTW: this symphony is in C. I wonder why the conductor is playing it in G. Best wishes.

[chompon232]

Good composser good playing but  Bad sound quality.

[HaradaTaro1]

It is the Osaka Philarmonic orchestra. But I don't know who was the director in 1990 i only know that today it is Oue Eiji But this was not him at this time. A very talentuous orchestra wich can compete wilh Berlin or Vienna philarmonium.

[lazlocarreidas]

Which orchesta is this and who is the director?

[IKILLFRFN]

i am playing this at my school, and we sound something like this whith lower quality (not as good instruments, and almost no-one ever practices.

[californiaengineer]

So this is where Wolfgang inherited his musical genes! I guess music runs in the family. Like father, like son!

[Sashi724]

How is it possible to NOT like this? O.o I love it (*.*)

[hjposso]

@TheGameExistence yes!

[unetealostroncos]

es de haydn

[ninabigoloni]

SUGOI! Mozart daisuki. ano nihonji tachi mo, na?

just speakin' japanese ^_^.

[SuperDbZ01]

@szymongoldberg Nevermind. I did some looking and it seems that there is sufficient evidence that it was Edmund Angerer. The original piece is called "Berchtoldsgaden Musick"

[SuperDbZ01]

@szymongoldberg There is no concrete proof for the authorship for the Toy Symphony. Original disputes were between Joseph Haydn and Leopold Mozart. Even though the recent studies claim that its Edmund Angerer the evidence is still not concrete.

[szymongoldberg]

this music is not by Leopold Mozart .

the composer is Edmund Angerer.

[TufiNiceBola]

Fantabulous!

[MayorSmellington]

first time ive ever heard anything like this, definitely a creative idea for a symphony

[Darkboy2525]

haha amazing nice ! genius ! ;0 always make me so happy when I hear this same if I listing to amadeus Mozart .. always makes me so happy .. most of the mozart music I like is sooo enjoyable .. so happy ! .. like this .. perfect music ! for all moods !

[123must]

Carissmo, non sapevo che il direttore Nawohiro Totsuka fosse almeno in parte discepolo del grande Seiji Ozawa! Sapevo però che Leopold Mozart era un grande ma poi misconosciuto e pochissimo eseguito, un poco come Salieri, anche se quest'ultimo incomincia a ricomparire il che non avviene per Leopold Mozart:

[Woodcutter2345]

7 people forget the like button :(:( 

[sebei]

actually is there another name for the nightingale?

because i can't find it on the internet

[ablancarte34]

to my son Abraham Blancarte, life is beatifullllllllll, en memory de mi madre Felipa Blancarte 02/05/1936-06/09/2010

[DaddyYankeeLover100]

i absolutely love this symphony by mozart! great job!!!

[ray59145]

Who's the conductor? :)

[tubelover413]

@ray59145 ；The conductor is Nawohiro Totsuka, born in 1960 in Tokyo,Japan. In 1980's, he was invited twice to Tanglewood Music Festival (U.S.A.) as a fellowship conductor and in those festivals he learned much from Seiji Ozawa, one of world-famous conductors.

[ray59145]

@tubelover413 Ok, thank you very much! :)

[beatlesopera]

Love it! I can definitely see why this is popular in japan.

[Laurentpiano9]

This is ridiculous to play it so seriously ...

[DaddyYankeeLover100]

@Laurentpiano9 well i think your quite ridiculous to think that its ridiculous to play it so seriously, i mean its Leopold were talking about!

[Sviolinist]

Leopold was quite a master. Please listen to the Slovak Chamber Orchestra perform some of his "proper" symphonies... that is, if you enjoyed this.

[MyJesusisinheaven]

MPM dámar hetta.

[emo21995]

sooo goodd((::

[Pierinopasquotti]

Fantastico l'ultra serio Leopold! L'avrà composta per il suo Wolfangerle? Brava l'orchestra!

[mapaford518]

I heard this piece for the first time on the radio yesterday and I loved it, didn't realise it was Leopold though. I was wondering why I had not recognised it!!

[MegaYada]

Two Mozarts! Imagine. This is the father of the greateast musician ever! Loving it!

[khalao68]

Three ! Dont forget Franz Xaver, the son of Wolfgang, a great composer too, the greatest of his generation said Schubert.

[an147]

Awesome!

[maestroRollo]

Well done. I'm glad you survived Seiji.

[yankeesdieheart]

yay

[logodaedalist]

Nice piece with weird instruments! It is really suggestive of the call to come down playing. The sound of the blow reminds me of Huck down Tom`s window calling him to come down to play pranks ;)

[Zamoth67]

A really lovely piece :D But it's not as genius as his son Wolfgang's symphonies...

[GlendaleHeroes]

so what if they do? its a genre of music.. its like calling someone a freak for having rock, hip-hop, or country on their iPod

[PhychicSoldier7]

i have to play this for band class, the whole thing O.o for concert band though

[Elysabetta2009]

Fantastico brano!! <3 <3 lovely!

[emogurl41]

One of my most adored favorites!!!! I couldn't imagine life with out it.

[virginiaeduar]

I'd like to know which orchestra is this. Beautiful! Passion must be taken seriously!! haha

[squibblejack]

What a very great conductor, and I love the musical composition as well. Thanks for posting ; )**********

[Invalidpoint]

Oh those crazy asians.

[himrasmus101]

Im asian so, THANKS =D I happen to play clarinet though.

[savemetiger08]

@Invalidpoint we are not crazy! bitch!

[diablozoll1]

@Invalidpoint but no doubt they are very talented :D

[soosa5]

@Invalidpoint

hello ! let me make a precision about this symphony : it was written by the father of the wellknown Amadeus Mozart ! Isn't it incredible ?

Have a nice day every body

[Robertulovich]

La sinfonía de los juguetes no la escribió Leopold Mozart, fue un monje tirolés llamado Edmund Angerer, según recientes investigaciones.

[laurion69]

Well said, this composition is not by L. Mozart, but by Angerer.

[luisaoncina04]

wow! we are going to play this (but with wind instruments) in our next concert =D

[luigiperso]

excellent

[Evextonn]

Why so serious ?? Are they exhausted or something ???

[654zns]

I would love to see the version when Arthur Fiedler conducted this with the Boston Pops orchestra in 1971.

[solardevaldeosera]

So... is this marvelous piece by Leopold Mozart or Haydn? It seems like the debate still goes on!

[hwwolverine]

its by mozart

[laurion69]

It's by Angerer.

[aislinnxoxevans]

we're playing this in my concert band class for state contest and our spring concert soon and we were going through what we wanted to make the sounds today and we were crying we were laughing so hard! our bassoon player is the baby that cries in the beginning that every version on youtube seems to be missing. he's good at it. I might post it after our spring concert =]

xoxo

[ledormant]

How can such a musical fantasy be played with such seriousness on non-smiling cold faces?

[khl1975]

i totally agree, this is after all the toy symphony by leopold mozart, not tod und verklerung :)

[jenvan1411]

im playing this in orchestra

[criomi15oct]

[psychodingo]

it's a real pleasure to see ! thank you !

[sircharlie07]

pero qué honroso es tocar el pajarito de agua!

[dunemusic365]

jejeje que gratos recuerdos me evoco la melodia de esta pieza

[sexiigurlzz00]

yupp you have to put water in it

[sexiigurlzz00]

i had to play the noise that sounds like a bird tweeting(which is called the nightingale) with the new york philharmonic i love the way it sounds in this

[Chefbobsg]

I played that instrument, too, but at a younger age, representing our grade school with our town orchestra. If I remember correctly the nightingale instrument needed to have water handy to keep it tweeting.

[jackpoint188]

I remember these movements were taken from a divertimento of his.

[annice63]

This used to be my figure skating theme when I was a kid. I had it on the flip side of my Peter and the Wolf record. Of course, then it was attributed to Haydn. What memories it brings. I feel like jumping axels and doing flying camel sit spins!

[doctormantell]

fine.

[moneyjr1122]

i want this music so bad XD

[NZKartsport]

This was written by Haydn, not Mozart.

It is Haydn who was known for writing comical pieces like this.

[sheepbird]

actually it was at one point attributed to haydn but it was later found out it was written by leopold mozart. wolfgang amadeus mozart's father

[MasterGRAPHICA]

This is a Mozartian style!!

[dolofonos]

You're at least partially correct. It honestly doesn't sound so very much like Wolfgang though the influence is clear. The gay-whimsical nature of the piece is common of Leopold. Also, it shouldn't be forgotten that they were not all only influenced by one another but by their common contemporaries, predecessors, and culture.

[linagurkan]

love it

[Musicuss]

why in G mayor??

[waeman]

what are these strange instruments they are using ?

[coreliandude76]

There are toys, dumbass. Look at the title of the Symphony.

[JamesScottsLuver91]

I didn't know Leopold composed any major works like this. I'm a huge fan of his son but his music is really good too.

[latexsanta]

I *really* like this piece. Going on my faves list. 5/5

[BPanther]

Wunderbar ! Awesome !

Wasn't this piece by Haydn ???

I believe that thanks to some researchers, this piece was confirmed to have been written by Leopold Mozart.
