WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART (1756-1791)
Adagio and fugue for strings in C minor KV546
1. Adagio
2. Fugue
Performed by the English Concert
Featuring special guest director Andrew Manze
*The adagio & fugue in C Minor is arguably Mozart's most serious, intense and private instrumental work. The fugue started life in a version for two pianos and was written in Vienna in 1783 during a period when Mozart and his friends spent Sunday afternoons with his patron Baron Gottfried van Swieten. There they immersed themselves in the unfashionable practice of playing fugues, particularily fugues by Handel and J.S. Bach. In 1788 he returned to the C minor fugue, orchestrated it for strings and added the Adagio.

@AEFic Maybe Gustave Courbet...

No point comparing Mozart to Bach.. cos without Bach's fugues to learn from, this Mozart fugue in C minor would NOT exist at all!
-
It seems a mix of Mozart and Vivaldi, i really enjoyed it!
-
Amazing piece. Exposes Bach's paint-by-numbers fugues, filled with their long stretches of predictable 8th note runs pretending to be counterpoint, obsolete and primitive.

I'm not sure, but it looks like it at least refers to "The Savage State" in Cole's "The Course of Empire" series.

@kay198611 you're right, God was never real

@VinciLit 21 people thumbs up what I said. Didn't see that happening to your meaningless comments :-D Oh and how sad are you? I wrote that comment nearly a year ago and have been living an actual life ever since, unlike you. You must be a very sad loner with nothing else to do but think about my words which obviously have seriously affected you. Little tip- get a plant or something

@kay198611 I'm telling you again: you are a fucking idiot. God and Hitler don't exclude one another and are not opposites either. You are a mere cretin :/
