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.
