  • @MozartsBloodline I do love the Brandenburg Variations however, so credit is due for all of these men who left us with these works to argue over 300 years later.

  • @MozartsBloodline writing opera (more seriously considering he wrote an opera at 12 which is still performed today) as a way to earn a living and not for any other reason than their musical genius,melodic prowess,and complete joy to experience occupy the spot for the top 3 operas performed every year. The Magic Flute, The Marriage of Figaro, and Don Giovani. All written by one man, Mozart. Comparing the opera's of Bach and Mozart would be equally as unfair to ascertain there composing ability.

  • @dimrous1960 Understood, but Bach's job was literally to write organ music every sunday as capel meister, and Mozart's organ work can not fairly be compared. Mozart could have made music with a washing machine given enough time. Mozart was brilliant in counterpoint, his note to note blending of melodies causes me to listen over and over and a new harmony will appear where I didn't even notice. Bach and Fugues are almost synonyms, but like I said, it was his job and main focus. Mozart began

  • @MozartsBloodline Obviously you don't understand that counterpoint is a complete and superior form of musical art in itself and it does not come second to the beauty of a composition because it is the beauty of a composition. As far as Mozart is concerned and all these widely popular accolades accompanying him i am not impressed a bit because i know that those who bestow them to him much prefer to listen to his piano sonatas than to the Art of Fugue.

  • @dimrous1960 Mozart was quoted as saying when it came to music " Less is more". Perhaps he had the convinience of this way of thinking since he had mastered many instruments as an infant. Mozart wrote master works in his teens. You see, when you are the greatest musical prodigy, genius of all time, complexity comes second to the enjoyment and beauty of the composition in Mozart's case. "There may never be such a talent again", Haydn said in 100 years, but I think that was a poor estimate.

  • Why is that there must always be someone comparing Bach's work to Mozart's? Saying that this masterpiece "has not the complexity" of Bach's fugues is unfortunate, since Mozart's music wasn't in the baroque period anymore; but saying that it "has not...the artistry of bach's fugues" is absolutely outrageous and unfare. Great Mozart, the more some insist to scorn you, the more they demonstrate the truth: your music and talent have no match, in saecula saeculorum.

  • @MrBranchFreeman YES..... really..... :-)

  • You don't hear too much of Mozart's organ work. It's usually sonatas, concertos and symphonies. Thanks.

  • @reinehcreinehc It definitely has not the complexity and the artistry of Bach's fugues.

  • beautiful music. just beautiful.
