I just learned about Godwins Law. Not impressed. To me it sounds like the usual pseudo intellectual PC unctuousness meant to moderate a person who expresses any point of view with intensity or passion; people don't like it if you're too happy or too free. Some people like to "tear it down" and some people like to "build it up". I'm a build it up person myself.

[Sinfoniette]

@NelsonClick I don't get at all what you mean by your post. The statement simply shows that internet board discussion is prone to turn into a league of name calling and brutish acts, and the statement shows it on rather preposterous terms regarding the Nazis! Not sure what you mean by not being impressed. Its nothing of the matter of being impressed - its just an observation. And what do you even mean by 'moderating a person'? Don't really get where you're coming from.

Who the hell are you people? Why are you so stiff, joyless, humorless and provincial? Is it me who is not getting it? The classical music scene where I am is a lot more vibrant, open and bohemian. I guess I have become accustomed to this and you composer worshiping crowd is unfamiliar. Do you have any idea how fun it is to tip over a sacred cow? Doesn't this music inspire you at all? It's so fun and alive. WAKE UP and take a deep breath. Good Morning.

@NelsonClick Being vibrant and joyful is one thing, calling him an asshole is another thing. Certainly I like stories of Bergman dissing Godard but this particular incident you have brought doesn't seem to be a good excuse to call him an asshole.

@Sinfoniette

Honey....do you ever get out into the real world and interact with breathing human beings? It saddens me how someone who is sophisticated enough to purport a love for classical music could have missed such an obvious example of verbal irony. Irony is all throughout Mozart's symphonies. The Linz itself starts with irony in the first movement. It opens serious and reverent then surprises you with its unexpected uptempo joy and energy. Mozart is dead. His music is not.

@NelsonClick Can't we just hug now then?

[Sinfoniette]

@Sinfoniette Although I still think calling someone an asshole should be justified in a more appropriate manner. Guess its the internet and if such nuances could be expressed there wouldn't be Godwins law.

wow this is brilliant! indescribable! what a genius! mozart you are the greatest!!!

I recall Handel's Messiah at 1:58-2:03.

Mozart's compositions sound so effortless... I think he was one of the most naturally gifted composers ever, seeing as he mastered virtually every form and that his music seems so "perfect."

But nice selection Sinfoniette. I might upload his 40th symphony later on this week. His best symphonies came toward the end after all.

Wonderful! Gotta love Mozart :)

I've never been a big fan of Mozart the symphonist; to my mind Haydn and Beethoven both excelled him in symphonic composition. I have to say, though, that this is quite good.
