Introduction to Mozart

Wolfgang Amarteus Mozart (W.A. Mozart 1756-1791)

Mozart was an outstanding Austrian composer He was born in the family of a court musician in Salzburg. He has shown outstanding musical talent since he was a boy, and his works are extremely rich throughout his life. The most important area of ??his creation is opera, with 22 works, and another important creative part is symphony, with 45 works. His music creation not only inherited and developed the achievements of Haydn and other predecessors, but also had an important influence on the later creations of Beethoven and others.

Mozart may not be the greatest composer, but he is definitely recognized as the greatest musical genius. Even the great musician Tchaikovsky called him the Christ of music. Someone once said: "There is a bright moment in the history of music when all opponents are reconciled and all tensions are eliminated. That bright moment is Mozart."

In 1756, Waugh Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Salzburg. He showed his unparalleled musical talent at an early age: he started playing the piano at the age of 3, started composing at the age of 6, and wrote his first symphony at the age of 11. He completed his first opera at the age of 14 and directed the orchestra to perform the opera at the age of 14. It can be said that Mozart was born for music. From the moment he was born, he was integrated with music.

At the age of 16, Mozart was appointed organist of the Salzburg court. Although Mozart created a large number of excellent works during this period, he could not stand the arbitrary bullying of the Archbishop of Salzburg. There, Mozart was just a servant who could play the piano. He once described to his father his companions at the palace dinner: two footmen, butler, pastry chef, two cooks, the footman sat in the upper seat, and Mozart sat in the seat. Ranked above the chef. Finally in 1781, Mozart broke away from his dependence on the archbishop, became the first free composer in history, and came to Vienna to develop. In Vienna, Mozart made a living teaching private students, performing concerts, and publishing works. During this period, Mozart came into contact with the works of Bach and Handel, and met Haydn, which enriched his musical ideas.

In Vienna, Mozart’s musical achievements were amazing. He once described his music creation in this way: “No matter how long the work is, it is completed in my mind. I have already taken it out of my memory. Things are stored. So writing it down on paper is pretty fast, because everything is complete, and it looks exactly the same as I imagined it on paper, so I'm not afraid of being interrupted at work, no matter what. I can even write and talk at the same time." Poor such a genius, he died of a cold when he was in his prime. He was only 35 years old. On the last day of his life (December 9, 1971), he was still composing. Unfortunately, nature is jealous of talents. Mozart left his unfinished "Requiem" and passed away, becoming the biggest legend in the history of music. One of the regrets.

Although Mozart's life was full of ups and downs and hardships, his music always brought people true purity and beauty. The famous music critic Romain Rolland made the following evaluation of Mozart: "His music is a portrait of life, but it is a beautified life. Although the melody is a reflection of the spirit, it must please the spirit without hurting the soul." And the body or hearing. Therefore, in Mozart, music is the expression of the harmony of life. This is true not only of his operas, but also of all his works. No matter how it looks, it always points to the soul rather than the intellect. And it always expresses emotion or passion, but never unpleasant or abrupt passion."

Of course, a complete review of Mozart's music cannot be expressed in just a thousand words. If you want to truly appreciate Mozart, the most important thing is to listen to his works. Almost every one of his more than a thousand works is an extraordinary classic.
