____________________________________________________________

Josef Mysliveček (March 9, 1737 -- February 4, 1781) was a Czech composer who contributed to the formation of late eighteenth-century classicism in music. Mysliveček provided his younger friend Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart with significant compositional models in the genres of symphony, Italian serious opera, and violin concerto; both Wolfgang and his father Leopold Mozart considered him an intimate friend from the time of their first meetings in Bologna in 1770 until he betrayed their trust over the promise of an operatic commission for Wolfgang to be arranged with the management of the Teatro San Carlo in Naples. He was close to the Mozart family and there are frequent references to him in the Mozart correspondence.

It starts like adagio from Mozart's Gran Partita!

thanks! absolutely beautiful!

have you heard of Robert Newman (musical revisionist?) It was through his work that I learned of this composer, has a very interesting take on his connection to Mozart..

El adagio de la gran partita empieza así.

Mozart sentÍa admiración por Myslivecek, del que decía en una de sus cartas.

"Rebosa vida, fuego y espíritu".
