Wow, I am comment number 3,000. I think the lesson from this profoundly beautiful work of art is that great artists outshine their subject matter. This was actually a commission for an aristocrat's wife who passed away. But Mozart fell ill during the process lending to this master work. The fact we consider this to be HIS requiem is a testament to how Mozart's music was not just beautiful but a window into his own personality and life. Every piece was very much him. That's so epic.
By the way, the reason why I wrote all that waffle was because I knew as a young boy of five that Mozart had perfect pitch before I became academically knowledgeable of that fact. I just knew. Same with Beethoven. Same with Chopin. Same with Mendelssohn. Same with Haydn, because of the way he influenced Beethoven. Not as certain about Liszt. Not as certain about Handel. I know by intuition what the answers are with Bellini, Puccini and Verdi, but I’m not going to spill the beans because I’m getting a great ego boost from being a pompous, self-aggrandizing axxhole!
When you have perfect (absolute) pitch the way your mind wants to harmonic a particular melody depends upon what key it is written in. The same chords (harmonies) have a different shape in your mind depending upon which key they are in. There are varying ‘levels’ of perfect pitch. Some of the accuracy depends upon what instrument you are listening to in your mind, and what your instrumental experience is. Personally, if I am in the slightest doubt about a note, my brain goes immediately to middle A where I hear it on the violin or the oboe because that is my experience of how the orchestra tunes up (I played violin in the school orchestra), or on the piano, which was my principal instrument. From that frame of reference I go to whatever note I am hearing in my mind and use my relative pitch to tune it accurately. Where do these human skills come from? It’s an interesting question, in biological terms, but you only have to listen carefully to different bird species, for example, to realize that their calls don’t just have specific patterns; they also have precisely specific pitches. I haven’t studied this systematically in books, or empirically in the yard, but as a person with very precise perfect pitch I just know what I know and don’t have to be told by an ‘expert’ with intellectual knowledge rather than the primary sensory skill itself. There are pieces of music where perfect pitch makes them quite difficult to enjoy; you just want to go back and shake the composer by the shoulders and tell him/her to correct the fxxxxxx thing! You NEVER get that feeling with Mozart or Beethoven and you can predict how those two would have written their harmonies ever so slightly differently if the work in question had been set in a neighboring key. Bach is a little different, but I think that has to do with the more restricted harmonic range within which he worked in those times. Of course, once you get into the modern avant-garde era, things get more complicated. I asked Benjamin Britten if he had perfect pitch when he visited my school. He replied with a question back to me: “Do you think I do?” I said that it depends upon what pieces of his I am listening to; that with some of them, I am convinced he does, but with others I’m almost as convinced that he doesn’t. His answer to that was to ask me to give him examples of both types of piece, which I did. “And what did that tell you”, he asked. “That you have a degree of perfect pitch that has strengthened with time as you have experienced music”. What do you mean by ‘experienced’, he asked. My reply was to quote certain composers and name which ones had perfect pitch and which ones didn’t. His response to that was to name certain other composers, and to tell me which ones he thought had it. Instantly, I knew whether or not he had perfect pitch! So there must be something biological and fundamental about perfect pitch. What’s interesting is that everyone has it to a degree otherwise they wouldn’t speak in a consistent way. The question then becomes, “where does the standard biological facility end and the more esoteric musical ability begin. What a fascinating subject. I decided a long time ago to write all my own notes about the subject before going near a book, and then when I finally studied it I found that there was scarcely anything said that I hadn’t already figured out, both as a musician and as a physician interested, and very well educated at school, in human biology. I think this area of musical pitch and the processing of it in the brain is one aspect of biology where our knowledge and understanding have not advanced as much as they could have done. We have the technology, but we just haven’t had leading minds devote as much energy to the subject as is the case in other areas of (human) biology; and there is not as much discussion among musicians about this as one might have expected by now. Some of that can be explained by envy and insecurity; there are great musicians who do not have perfect pitch, and of course the other major aspect, of much greater importance in the music profession, is instrumental skill. I am a lifelong pianist, and I can tell you who my favorite pianists are, but what I don’t know, but strongly suspect, is that there won’t be a close correlation between pianistic brilliance and pitching skill. The same might not be quite as true, for example, with brilliant violinists. I can’t tell you why I think that, except to say the obvious: you have to tune the damn thing, whereas you leave the piano to a piano tuner. Aha! That begs the question: what about piano tuners? Are there a lot of ‘perfect pitchers’ among them? Well, I think we have a better knowledge of this issue in cricket and other ball games than we have in music! With that rather pathetic ‘pun’ishment, I’ll rest my case and leave ‘my readers in peace’ [not having intended to sound quite so narcissistic].
I like to have a glass of wine, put on my headphones... and listen to the music of a genius. 5:30 is brilliant! 13:45 amazing! And 22:00 is other worldly!
This was, he remarked, A requiem for himself. There is no record of music at his simple funeral. This would have been so suited to the departure of a genius.
Rome 2001 a strange phenomena appears. The night more than 10 000 people disappear by mold. At the sun rises the survivors said after this they experience a body shifting. But the end is more troubling. After they gained again they own body. The atmosphere changes and the sky becomes gold. In the middle a teenager of 15 years old was flouting. A cyan divin aura floating with him. 6 shouts was heard. The blonde hair of the young boy floating in the golden wind. The teenager disappeared with the only words said was “This is your Requiem Diavolo”. After this event the mafia suddenly stop dealing drugs. The master piece of Jojo bizarre adventure part 5.-
Imagine if in jojo bizarre adventure part 5 the three last episodes the only music we can hear in the background was The full Requiem. This would make the scene of the requiem gold experience 100 times more divin with Lachrymose behind.
De vuelta los bárbaros invadiendolo todo sin ningun respeto a nada, ahora hasta a la cultura. En este siglo de las "ciencias y la tecnología", insertar publicidades en medio de una obra clásica como el "Requiem en Re Menor" de Mozart, es como prenderle fuego al Vaticano o volver a bombardear Dresden (como ya lo hicieron los ingleses en la Segunda Guerra Mundial y sin ninguna necesidad bélica). Provoca rechazo y respulsión. Entiendo la necesidad del capitalismo de enfocarse solo en la ganancia pero algún aspecto de la vida humana creo que por lo menos debe ser respetado y que no sea solo el dinero el móvil, aunque sea para salvar el poco humanismo que nos queda. La publicidad está muy bien al inicio antes de comenzar el concierto, pero insertarla en la mitad de cualquier movimiento ya cae en lo chabacano y vulgar. Es más hace odiar el producto que quieren vender. Si no respetan la pieza musical, hagánlo por lo menos porque con esa forma bizarra y grosera de colocar publicidad, no lograrán vender más, solo hacer odiar el producto o servicio o la mercancia que quieren vendernos.
This is the only performance I've heard where the parts of tuba mirum actually sound good and aren't rushed ❤ the rest sound worse than this performance IMO

I want to know who the fk thought to put an ad in the middle of the Kyrie...
To be is not to be, to be is not the way to be
Only of only hurts. Palju inimesi läheb surma,, et vaid jumalarist jääks alles.
Z kimś mi się On kojarzy… kurwa; XD mam na końcu języka!!!! 🌸

Cortar el requiem en medio de los temas con publicidades estupidas, debe generar un gran afecto y simpatia por las marcas anunciantes.
Psychedelics and classical music heals the brain
Trop bien
It sounds as if this is the conducted by Arsys Boulogne Requiem. People commented that this here interrupted by Advertisements. The other was not.
Fatal fury fans rise
Videos like this should not have advertisements breaks….. totally ruining it.
COME TO BRAZIL 🎉🎉🎉🎉🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I like to have a glass of wine, put on my headphones... and listen to the music of a genius. 5:30 is brilliant! 13:45 amazing! And 22:00 is other worldly!
As the UA-cam interrupts Mozart with their stupid commercials, I’m reminded that their is always some dumbass interrupting brilliance
Coitus with gods
Quieren hacernos creer q los africanos vienen a enriquecernos, haciendo hecho joyas como esta hace siglos
I sat through a performance of this great piece at St Martin's in the Fields, London as the tears streamed down my face.
❤❤❤❤❤
Extraordinary I love it simply an art of its form. Doesn’t belong on this earth only in the heavens and limbo and hell
Do we know which choral/opera group sang this version of requiem, all the other version on UA-cam are not as good
Thumbs up for Mozart. Thumbs down for Ermin.
👌🏼
