Mozart Playlists
Posted by Martin in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart on February 13, 2008
Since I’ve reformatted my hard drive, and installed my dual boot system (I’m running Windows/Linux) – the one thing I have not done yet is update my media playlist. I have several, which includes the works of Mozart that I have.
Well, that should change today. I’ll put together my Mozart playlist, and begin to listen to his beautiful music once again.
Favorite Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Piece
Posted by Martin in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart on January 3, 2008
I keep changing my favorite Mozart compositions. I belong to the MozartForum, and have been apart of great topical threads that deal with every aspect of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s life and music. One particular thread is titled, “What does Mozart’s music mean to us?“, and in that thread I tried to detail the reasons why I find Mozart’s music to be some of the most beautiful sounds I have ever heard.
Other members of that forum have all contributed to the topic, and if you have a bit of time, I suggest you head over there and read up. That forum has just about every thing you’ll need as a Mozart fan.
Anyway, back to the reason for my post. I had several favorite pieces, but – at least for today – my favorite Mozart composition is, “Serenade “Gran Partita” – 3rd Movement”. My recording of that piece is by The Linos Ensemble.
What’s your favorite Mozart piece?

Composed in 1791, the Requiem Mass in D minor was Mozart’s last composition. This particular performance took place on December 5, 1991 at St. Stephen`s Cathedral in Vienna, Austria to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the composer`s death.

Mozart The Great
Posted by Martin in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart on December 7, 2007
Mozart is without doubt the greatest musician who ever lived. he was a child genius he wrote his first piece at the age of 5 ‘Minuet & Trio for piano’ and his first symphony at the age of 8 ‘ First Symphony in E flat, K16′. Did you know that he would write a complete 64 piece orchestral piece in his mind, then transfer it first draft to music paper. No corrections, just right from the mind to the paper, all at once.
Mozart Created uproar in the music world by writing opera in GERMAN. At the time italian was the ONLY acceptable language for Opera. If you only ever go to see one opera in your life, make it the magic flute, it is fantastic, light airey and bouncy unlike Don Giovani which is a very heavy Opera.
It is my firm belief that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was an absolute genius, and his story is made all the more sadder by the fact he was hounded to death by a bitter rival.
