Mozart’s Music

It was because of my son that began my love for the classical music genre. You see, for his good grades at school, I purchased him a video game from an online store. Unknown to me, as a free gift for the purchase, they shipped me a CD from The Classic Composers collection. It was titled, “Mozart Musical Masterpieces” which included 11 of his “greatest hits” so to speak.

Well, that CD has been played over and over, and I have really begun to appreciate the music and talent that is classical music. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is my favorite composer. And his Symphony No. 40 in G minor, K550; 1st movement is one of my favorites. I can really feel the music on that one. I can see why God loves music so much.

Mozart – Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (played on period instruments)

Here’s a great Mozart performance of his “A little Night Music” (or “A Little Serenade”). Mozart wrote this particular piece in 1787 in Vienna, during the time he also was working on his Don Giovanni opera. History does not tell us why – or for whom – he wrote “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik”, but I’m so glad he did. It is one of my personal Mozart favorites.

What I really like about this performance by the New Trinity Baroque (2006) is the fact that they are playing on authentic period instruments from Mozart’s time.
Simple click on the Play Button to begin. Once you’re done, please click on the menu button within the player to view other great Mozart music videos:

With so much information (and mis-information) on the internet about historical figures, websites about Mozart and other classic composers are everywhere. And while most sites are entertaining, I’ve found that there is wrong information on many sites.And so I come to a point here. I would like you, classic music lover, to engage on this website.
