Mozart’s mom singing to the baby in her belly-🎶🎶🎶 Baby Mozart from the womb- Mom, mom, stop that’s atrocious. Here try this (bangs out a masterpiece on her rib cage)
@@Tee-h3c dude, we are not talking about a Planet...we are talking about one lifespan 3 dimensionial beeings. Nothing is Immortal, even the largest Black Hole will die someday
@@sophiaperennis2360 Eh it was probably an embellished story, and if it wasn't an opera he copied, then he didn't really "do that". I could probably copy the chord structure upon 2 or so hearings. :D All the notes with accuracy, that might take a hundred more. :D Funny enough I just so happened to be binge listening that piece the past few weeks or so.
I don't care the amount, but the quality. These works besides the Requiem are greatly overrated, but that's ok because he was a child prodigy and because he died young.
That's because he was a man child in real life. The theory goes that he had such a strict upbringing when he was a child that he lived out his childhood as an adult.
You think it's impressive bc he is 5 years old. It is actually weak if you forget his age. Only thing impressive is he was trying at that age, but they didn't have Candy Crush and social media back then.
@@edition-deluxe And yet most kids didn't spend the whole night sitting on the harpsichord. I think at the age of 5 people are very distracted and learning very simple things like the names of the colors and counting to 10, while Mozart already understood much more complex information (other then technical ingenuity there is a lot of creativity in this piece that shows he could be a great composer) . Of course it is weak if you forget he was 5, but he really was five when he wrote it so you can't simply disregard his age. All of that aside I do think it is easier without social media
@@edition-deluxe oh the old excuses. Just because you have it it doesn't mean you gotta use it. Life is about choices. He had toys back then like most kids tho he chose the piano like none.
The piece he wrote at 7 is outrageous. It's recognizable as his based on his later works. It's crazy enough that he could play that piece, much less have conceived it.
Let's remember that his father was around teaching him how to compose etc. Mozart didn't get a chance to play like other kids. So it clearly stuck to him. Even if it came with several traumas that haunted him over his short life. I'm not saying that Mozart didn't compose those songs, but his father definitely showed the foundations and gave corrections as he was composing.
@@rumplstiltztinkerstein Big this. He opened with an Alberti bass and then swapped to broken chords, then pivoted into counterpoint. All three are quite straightforward compositional techniques (maybe not so much for counterpoint, but Mozart was using it in a very simplified call-and-answer style in that piece rather than true harmonising counterpoint, so so it was still comparatively easy).
Yes. His late works foreshadow middle period Beethoven in many respects. His C minor sonata has parts that resemble 2 Beethoven sonatas. Opening resembles Piano Sonata no. 1 in F minor with that Mannheim Rocket. But there's plenty of Pathetique Sonata resemblances in there as well such as how both third movements end in an energetic C minor outburst or the C Bb Eb start to the Pathetique Sonata second movement also appearing in the Mozart second movement. And his 39th symphony in Eb resembles the Eroica symphony, not just cause of the Eb major key, but also the minor key appearance in the second movement, F minor in the case of Mozart, C minor in the Beethoven. And there's other resemblances to Eroica as well. And his 40th symphony Minuet more resembles a Beethoven Scherzo in the first part with the hemiola(duple feel even though it's in 3/4) and fast tempo, whereas the second part is more your typical Classical Era Trio section with very much a minuet feel to it. This Scherzo-like feel in something not titled Scherzo though is by no means unique to Mozart, Haydn did it too in his well known Gypsy Rondo(which is a movement of one of his piano trios). And Mozart's 41st symphony has a motivic resemblance to one of the most famous Beethoven pieces ever, the Fifth Symphony. Short short short long rhythm in both as a motive. But Mozart uses the ascending scale form in the first movement and the repeated note form in the fourth movement whereas with Beethoven, it's the other way around. And Mozart's is all bright and joyful(even the minor key moments are not so dramatic in the Mozart like how they tend to be in Beethoven) whereas Beethoven's is dark and dramatic. But the Fate Motif rhythm can be found in both. Those are just some of the more obvious Mozart/Beethoven resemblances, there's more that aren't so obvious.
Repent and trust in Jesus. He's the only way. We deserve Hell because we've sinned. Lied, lusted stolen, etc. But God sent his son to die on the cross and rise out of the grave. We can receive forgiveness from Jesus. Repent and put your trust in him. John 3:16 Romans 3:23❤😊❤

Most of these are solo piano works, which don't really reflect his artistic evolution accurately. He expanded far more in opera, symphonies and string quartets. Lovely video all the same.
I think you’re right. Most of his piano pieces are beautiful, but mostly consist of melody and accompaniment, some counterpoint here and there but not much overall. However you can find much more elaborated pieces with ingenious use of counterpoint in his orquestral works.
You can feel his personality in the songs, jolly and happy even with accidentals. His symphonies felt like a child wandering about, curiosity while exploring the world. That is how I thought about his works.

It's amazing to see how as he progressed he used a lot of the same techniques from when he was 5. He really likes standalone triplets on his right hand.
Bach will always be my favorite composer, but Mozart is a close second. His requiem mass is my favorite piece even if he didn't get to finish it... somehow it's both awe-inspiring and instills a fear of the divine in me. Thank you Mozart, may your music always be remembered and appreciated
Same but the opposite, Mozart will always be my favorite but Bach is a very close second, almost a tie, I really like that classical Mozart brings on as opposed to the baroque, i'm also a huge fan of Opera and arias, so I guess that moves the scale a bit too. Vivaldi, Rossini and Chopin follow pretty close for the top 5
In my opinion chopin will be my always favourite and liszt is in close second beethoven 3rd mozart 4th and bach 5th PS: Don judge its my opinion everyone has a different opinion
At first, it seems very hard to believe that a young person could have written all this. But, then again, this is the greatest musical genius to have ever lived.
Probably one of the few composers who could describe impossible things through his music. In the beginning of his requiem, I can almost sense his tiredness and willingness to accept that he was nearing the end of his life. It sounds like the exhausted panting of someone who has reached the pinnacle and just can't go on anymore.
Thank you for this compilation. As much as I've always loved Mozart, I never followed his work in terms of how old he was when he wrote it. To hear the progression like this just adds another layer to his brilliance, and even as he was a savant at such a young age.... he still managed to mature in his compositions as he got older. What a tremendous loss to the music world that he passed so young. I wonder if his contemporaries ever knew just how lucky they were to hear him as he was building this incredible body of work.
The playfulness is certainly a component in many pieces, but as he got older his work became less frivolous, deeper and more serious. My favourite piece is the wind quintet from 1784 (yes, I looked up the year ;), it's truly sublime, the slow movement of the 23th piano concerto always gives me chills or his freemason music. I have to admit there's also many many works that I find very forgettable, just because it is Mozart to me that does not mean that therefore by default I should consider them all masterpieces. The only composer I have that with, even though he's not my favourite, would be Bach.
I think that from age 30 onwards Mozart’s music acquires a truly unique and special sound. His earlier work are full of passion and youthfulness, but his more mature works have a magical touch not found elsewhere. Not even on Bach or Chopin. Bach being my favorite composer.
That's only a thought, he was classical and conservative in some aspect, but an avant garde in another aspects. His aesthetic sense was different from romantics like Schumann and successors.
I can’t read music, but am very visual, so your representation of the keys aglow helps me understand the music’s structure. Thank you so much! I will watch this many times over, and the timing is just right because I’m going to an all-Mozart concert this afternoon. 😊
Damn. That silence after his last piece at 34 years old. The history said: nothing else? No humanity, nothing else. Death clammed for his soul too soon 😢
Wow! You can hear how the syncopation, the chord progressions, the melodies just continue to get more and more subtle and sophisticated and touching. He’s halfway towards inventing jazz by the end.
What I find facsinating is how you can hear how his understanding of his own music grows over the years. Too me Mozart almost always has something "playful" in his compositions. In his child years it is there just to be playful, for its own merrit. And it is still there in the later pieces, from 18years and forward, but it becomes more conceptualised and selfaware as he developes his style and blends it with more serious undertones and counterparts.
What a difference! It's a pitty that Mozart couldn't live longer, at least 10 years more, because his musicality and sensitivity was growing very fast. When he was a kid, his music was just an experimentation and combination of simple patterns, but since he was in his 20s he started showing his talent, creativity and sensitivity.
As he gets older, the symmetry becomes less obvious but is still there. The music is not much more complex, but the structure is not so obviously discernible. The phrasing becomes longer and it really feels like he writes with more intimate emotion rather than the mathematical obsession off his early years. It seems like as a child he fell in love with the intellectual side of music, but as he grew, he fell in love with the music itself
I thought so too. His early works I'm not that skilled with this stuff but it sounds mostly diatonic. 'predictable'. I hate using words like that because he was writing stuff at seven that's just good music, nevermind 'for a child'. But if you're tlaking evolution, he went out of the box a lot more. But all through you get the sense of joy. Or at least curiosity.
@@Schemilix That "predictable" music was the galant style, That was the kind of music that you had to compose if you wanted to make a living out of it, Mozart died a decade before early romanticism What a loss for humanity
@@NichtWunderkind i know he was constrained by tradition and monetary concerns in his life. but he was seven at the time and not really making money I hope!
@@Schemilix At that age (Mozart was 6 years old) they were in europe playing in courts and at shops in Europe, His father made like 3 year salaries on that trip, so yeah Mozart was working for money But the letters say that he enjoyed the trip And Leopold also said that at the end of the trip Mozart had gained 40 years of experience hahah
I like that you stayed with his keyboard music. Very tastefully done. He was my 1st love in music and the older I become, the more I wonder at the reality of his ceaseless creation, joy and stimulation.
Lacrimosa sounds so forlorn compared to most of the others. He was under suspicion that he was being poisoned, and although unproven and unlikely, he was most certainly very ill. Most of his life he had suffered thru various maladies and sicknesses, most of them now known to us. He ended up dying near the end of 1791 of an unknown disease. We are blessed to be able to still listen to his work today.
Lacrimosa is probably not a good representation of Mozart; I've read somewhere that he only put down the first 6 bars, the rest was completed by another composer.
Mozart’s music will quench and moisturize the dryness of the soul Whenever I listen to Mozart’s music, my soul is filled with an ineffable joy and impression and pleasure
Very interesting, he wrote his first piano sonata, 3:38, when he was 19, and then his third piano sonata, 3:05, when he was 18. Not only was he a great pianist and composer, but he was also an amazing inventor and produced a time machine that really worked!
It's why you can see him rapidly age in his portraits, he lived far longer than he claims - and spent far more than 30 years puking out pieces but DON'T TELL ANYONE!!1!
Not sure about Mozart's pieces, but when it comes to J.S. Bach, they're numbered not in order of release, but in order of their "BWV" that was defined by the person who catalogued Bach's works. Maybe the same happened here? Or there there is simply an inconsistency regarding these pieces' release dates - which is quite common, to be fair.
@@thulsa_doom The video is wrong. Mozart wrote his first 6 Piano Sonatas between November 1774 and January 1775, while he was in München. At the same time he produced his 9th Opera, La finta giardiniera, which had its first performance on 13 January at the Salvatortheater. Mozart turned 19 two weeks after this.
„It's people like that who make you realize how little you've accomplished. It is a sobering thought, for example, that when Mozart was my age, he had been dead for two years.“ - Tom Lehrer Introduction to "Alma" That Was the Year That Was (1965)
His piano sonatas were written as study pieces for intermediary students. Of course they don't rank that high in comparison to the symphonies, operas and piano concertos he wrote.
What he was already composing at 5 years of age just blows my mind...the word genius gets used too often lately I would say but he truly was a musical genius...
Has anyone else noticed, that during "Lacrimosa" Mozart's picture faded into grayness? It means he barely even wrote his last song, because he died when writing it. 😔
Thank you for spending time creating this visual comparison. Even though he did over 600 pieces in all his years, using just a few of his more iconic works really helps tell a story. The story of his growth and in some cases the story of his mental orientation/health. This creation might seem simple, but that just goes to show how easily you've been able to help us understand a decades long event. Keep up the great work.
It's the discord. Without at least some discord music doesn't hit the same. You need the tension for it to feel fully resolved. Well. IMO obviously. Someone's going to reply to me with purely diatonic C major that's the best thing you've ever heard now.
Ah! thank you very much for this overview !! When I was 8 my piano teacher gave me a piece of Mozart music and she told me he composed it when he was the same age as me. Oh how happy I was to play it !! Did not find it in your overview, but of course not everything can be here ... Thank you again.
Actually, Mozart only wrote the first 8 bars of Lacrimosa before he died. The rest of the piece was written by one of his disciples, Franz Xaver Sussmayr.
As many composers can relate to what I'm about to say, we cut our teeth on Mozart and Bach I've been composing since I was four In my teens I fell in love with Mozart piano concerti But all you have to do is listen to his last three symphonies and his immortal requiem and it feels to me like Mozart was a musical time traveler Not of this Earth
9:17 “Lacrimosa, Dies illa, Qua resurgette ex favillia, judicandus homo reus.” The last words Mozart ever wrote before his death as inscribed on the unfinished piece just played. Shortly after, he uttered his final words: “I taste death upon my lips. I feel something that is not of this world.” Just after that, he passes through… to the other side…😔
what a beautiful upload...there's the content: mozart keyboard, and there's the uploaders who made a story-tell video of something so special, sensitive and intelligent--thank you
can't resist KV310 the sonata Mozart wrote to mourn the loss of his mother, it's from the only CD i bought on Mozart's sonata, the only one of this genre -> for I am extensively exposed to concertos and symphonies mainly... thank you for bringing to me this K. 397 piece, it's indeed one of the best in Mozart's piano works
The lacrimosa is actually not completely by Mozart himself. He only composed the introitus of the requiem completely, while he left only notes for the other parts. In his notes, the lacrimosa ends after eight tacts. His student Franz Süßmayr completed the work.
Yeah, I remember being told once that the Introit and Kyrie are completely in Mozart's hand, and then it gets less and less Mozart from there, with the Dies Irae being more Mozart than the Tuba Mirum which is more Mozart than the Rex Tremendae which is more Mozart than the Lacrimosa, and then nothing beyond that is Mozart, just in Mozart's style.
1:38, If someone asked me a concrete example of the genius of mozart, I think I'd pick the precise D# note that sounds in this part. I don't know enough theory to tell why, but somehow one single note in the left hand (which could have been any) brings so much majesty... ✨️
Then a 5 year old kid make music that is pleasant for our ears, u know he/she is good. At age 7, this is a masterpiece. Many pro composers dont have that skills at all to day

Same but the opposite, Mozart will always be my favorite but Bach is a very close second, almost a tie, I really like that classical Mozart brings on as opposed to the baroque, i'm also a huge fan of Opera and arias, so I guess that moves the scale a bit too.
Vivaldi, Rossini and Chopin follow pretty close for the top 5
In my opinion chopin will be my always favourite and liszt is in close second beethoven 3rd mozart 4th and bach 5th
PS: Don judge its my opinion everyone has a different opinion
Agreed on Bach. Too good and satisfying to listen to and play.
At first, it seems very hard to believe that a young person could have written all this. But, then again, this is the greatest musical genius to have ever lived.
How do you measure that, who is the greatest, greater than Bach? I think even Mozart himself would disagree with you.
Chopin as well
Probably one of the few composers who could describe impossible things through his music. In the beginning of his requiem, I can almost sense his tiredness and willingness to accept that he was nearing the end of his life. It sounds like the exhausted panting of someone who has reached the pinnacle and just can't go on anymore.
Similarly, I sensed helplessness and surrender ....
Thank you for this compilation. As much as I've always loved Mozart, I never followed his work in terms of how old he was when he wrote it. To hear the progression like this just adds another layer to his brilliance, and even as he was a savant at such a young age.... he still managed to mature in his compositions as he got older. What a tremendous loss to the music world that he passed so young. I wonder if his contemporaries ever knew just how lucky they were to hear him as he was building this incredible body of work.
The playfulness is certainly a component in many pieces, but as he got older his work became less frivolous, deeper and more serious. My favourite piece is the wind quintet from 1784 (yes, I looked up the year ;), it's truly sublime, the slow movement of the 23th piano concerto always gives me chills or his freemason music. I have to admit there's also many many works that I find very forgettable, just because it is Mozart to me that does not mean that therefore by default I should consider them all masterpieces. The only composer I have that with, even though he's not my favourite, would be Bach.
I think that from age 30 onwards Mozart’s music acquires a truly unique and special sound. His earlier work are full of passion and youthfulness, but his more mature works have a magical touch not found elsewhere. Not even on Bach or Chopin. Bach being my favorite composer.
What is your favourite Bach piece?
Yeah, his mature works are something else. Beethoven is probably the closest comparison you could make to Mozart's mature works.
Do you say that because you have studied mozart´s work in deep? or you just watched this video?
Early years: Nursery rhyme quality
Teen years: Look what I can do!
Adult years: A little more restraint, with all the creativity
Best comment, he used much more simple but developed melodies in later years, for course mixing them with complex passages.
Imagine what works he would have created had he lived to a more considerable age.
That's only a thought, he was classical and conservative in some aspect, but an avant garde in another aspects. His aesthetic sense was different from romantics like Schumann and successors.
I can’t read music, but am very visual, so your representation of the keys aglow helps me understand the music’s structure. Thank you so much! I will watch this many times over, and the timing is just right because I’m going to an all-Mozart concert this afternoon. 😊
I love how you can see his improvement as he gets older!
Damn. That silence after his last piece at 34 years old. The history said: nothing else? No humanity, nothing else. Death clammed for his soul too soon 😢
Wow! You can hear how the syncopation, the chord progressions, the melodies just continue to get more and more subtle and sophisticated and touching. He’s halfway towards inventing jazz by the end.
What I find facsinating is how you can hear how his understanding of his own music grows over the years. Too me Mozart almost always has something "playful" in his compositions. In his child years it is there just to be playful, for its own merrit. And it is still there in the later pieces, from 18years and forward, but it becomes more conceptualised and selfaware as he developes his style and blends it with more serious undertones and counterparts.
Be ready for some great Mozart music! What's your favorite piece?
♫ Sheet Music: gumroad.com/l/xonjp
Sonata nº11,3th Movement.
Literally anything by Mozart!
Lacrimosa my favourite
Turkish march
Great video, but I would love to see mozarts concertos
What a difference! It's a pitty that Mozart couldn't live longer, at least 10 years more, because his musicality and sensitivity was growing very fast. When he was a kid, his music was just an experimentation and combination of simple patterns, but since he was in his 20s he started showing his talent, creativity and sensitivity.
1:11 I can already hear the first movement of his 16th piano sonata
1:12 Allegro in C Major
It's amazing to see the transition from baroque to classical as he matured. Literal father of the classical period.
I appreciate that you cut Lacrimosa off where he finished
😽
Truly astonishing stuff. To be writing and playing your own music at 5 years old is breathtaking.
Mozart's style is just so much fun to listen to. His sonatas especially and perhaps my favorite, Rondo Ala Turca
Right
As he gets older, the symmetry becomes less obvious but is still there. The music is not much more complex, but the structure is not so obviously discernible. The phrasing becomes longer and it really feels like he writes with more intimate emotion rather than the mathematical obsession off his early years. It seems like as a child he fell in love with the intellectual side of music, but as he grew, he fell in love with the music itself
I thought so too. His early works I'm not that skilled with this stuff but it sounds mostly diatonic. 'predictable'. I hate using words like that because he was writing stuff at seven that's just good music, nevermind 'for a child'. But if you're tlaking evolution, he went out of the box a lot more. But all through you get the sense of joy. Or at least curiosity.
@@Schemilix That "predictable" music was the galant style, That was the kind of music that you had to compose if you wanted to make a living out of it, Mozart died a decade before early romanticism
What a loss for humanity
@@NichtWunderkind i know he was constrained by tradition and monetary concerns in his life. but he was seven at the time and not really making money I hope!
@@Schemilix At that age (Mozart was 6 years old) they were in europe playing in courts and at shops in Europe, His father made like 3 year salaries on that trip, so yeah Mozart was working for money
But the letters say that he enjoyed the trip
And Leopold also said that at the end of the trip Mozart had gained 40 years of experience hahah
@@NichtWunderkind Pffft. That's crazy. Thanks for the info!
4:16 is where I felt real Mozart style
Listening to this classical music playlist actually increased my focus and productivity - I can't believe the power of music on the brain!
The leap from 6 to 7 years old is remarkable. He went full quantum.
I like that you stayed with his keyboard music. Very tastefully done. He was my 1st love in music and the older I become, the more I wonder at the reality of his ceaseless creation, joy and stimulation.
You can hear his signature motifs even at 7 years of age!
Mozart and Beethoven are absolute legends 🔥even after 300yrs these music is remembered
Lacrimosa sounds so forlorn compared to most of the others. He was under suspicion that he was being poisoned, and although unproven and unlikely, he was most certainly very ill. Most of his life he had suffered thru various maladies and sicknesses, most of them now known to us.
He ended up dying near the end of 1791 of an unknown disease. We are blessed to be able to still listen to his work today.
Nice try lazi
Something about knowing being close to death does something to artists. You can hear it in Schubert and Beethoven's music too
He killed his liver with drink. I learned this from watching Amadeus
Lacrimosa is probably not a good representation of Mozart; I've read somewhere that he only put down the first 6 bars, the rest was completed by another composer.
Lacrimosa was part of Requiem which is supposed to be played at a funreal. So yes of course it's gonna sound forlorn.
Mozart’s music will quench and moisturize the dryness of the soul
Whenever I listen to Mozart’s music,
my soul is filled with an ineffable joy and impression and pleasure
Thanks for uploading this, I never really knew anything about the man but hearing and being able to see his music just opened a door.
Very interesting, he wrote his first piano sonata, 3:38, when he was 19, and then his third piano sonata, 3:05, when he was 18. Not only was he a great pianist and composer, but he was also an amazing inventor and produced a time machine that really worked!
It's why you can see him rapidly age in his portraits, he lived far longer than he claims - and spent far more than 30 years puking out pieces but DON'T TELL ANYONE!!1!
@@TheDoomerBlox I should have known better...
Not sure about Mozart's pieces, but when it comes to J.S. Bach, they're numbered not in order of release, but in order of their "BWV" that was defined by the person who catalogued Bach's works. Maybe the same happened here? Or there there is simply an inconsistency regarding these pieces' release dates - which is quite common, to be fair.
@@thulsa_doom The video is wrong. Mozart wrote his first 6 Piano Sonatas between November 1774 and January 1775, while he was in München. At the same time he produced his 9th Opera, La finta giardiniera, which had its first performance on 13 January at the Salvatortheater. Mozart turned 19 two weeks after this.
@@billiswillis8293 nice, thx. This is the comment i was looking for.
Actually learning Lacrimosa... Its one of the most touching music for me, making me think about life
Just staggering to grasp how incredibly brilliant he was even at 5 years old!
„It's people like that who make you realize how little you've accomplished. It is a sobering thought, for example, that when Mozart was my age, he had been dead for two years.“ - Tom Lehrer Introduction to "Alma" That Was the Year That Was (1965)
The jump in complexity from age 6 to age 7 is astounding!
they get more and more complex and yet they always keep a playfullness around them until Lacrimosa. So nice
Even more impressive when you realize that even his greatest piano sonatas (like K 310 and K 533) probably aren’t in his top 100 works.
Hey Richard!
His piano sonatas were written as study pieces for intermediary students. Of course they don't rank that high in comparison to the symphonies, operas and piano concertos he wrote.
What he was already composing at 5 years of age just blows my mind...the word genius gets used too often lately I would say but he truly was a musical genius...
Happy birthday, you absolute legend
Has anyone else noticed, that during "Lacrimosa" Mozart's picture faded into grayness? It means he barely even wrote his last song, because he died when writing it. 😔
Mozart is a genius
Thank you for spending time creating this visual comparison. Even though he did over 600 pieces in all his years, using just a few of his more iconic works really helps tell a story. The story of his growth and in some cases the story of his mental orientation/health. This creation might seem simple, but that just goes to show how easily you've been able to help us understand a decades long event. Keep up the great work.
Klavierstück in F (KV 33b) is such a fun piece to play! I think it was played in a scene from the movie "Amadeus".
it was the scene where Leopold blindfolded him before a keyboard as a child and he played that way in a recital. Instantly recognizable to me too :>
I feel like I hear him maturing through the songs. Skill building -> show off -> emotional -> story teller
Most of his pieces were so light and happy. Except for Lacrimosa〜
You can see his hand getting a bigger range, A true legend
Can we talk about him wearing the same red jacket for 15 years
At 5 years old, most of us are still unsure on our feet.
Mozart was a level 10 pianist.
Ok, I could play the piece he wrote when he was 5 years old. Beyond that I am just in awe. Like everybody else.
He was amazing from the beginning but he really hits his stride at 22.
It's the discord. Without at least some discord music doesn't hit the same. You need the tension for it to feel fully resolved. Well. IMO obviously. Someone's going to reply to me with purely diatonic C major that's the best thing you've ever heard now.
Apparently Mozart was such a genius that he wrote his 9th Piano sonata at the age of 21 and his 8th at the age of 22. What?
XD
Flux Capacitor?
Oscillation Overthruster
Ah! thank you very much for this overview !! When I was 8 my piano teacher gave me a piece of Mozart music and she told me he composed it when he was the same age as me. Oh how happy I was to play it !! Did not find it in your overview, but of course not everything can be here ... Thank you again.
Actually, Mozart only wrote the first 8 bars of Lacrimosa before he died. The rest of the piece was written by one of his disciples, Franz Xaver Sussmayr.
He finished it awfully well.
@@Discrimination_is_not_a_right
This...this is perfection
I love you Mozart
You can hear how he goes from "I know how to play" ,to "look how good I can play", to "Music is meant to be beautiful".
As many composers can relate to what I'm about to say, we cut our teeth on Mozart and Bach
I've been composing since I was four
In my teens I fell in love with Mozart piano concerti
But all you have to do is listen to his last three symphonies and his immortal requiem and it feels to me like Mozart was a musical time traveler
Not of this Earth
Lol best comment, i love Mozart !! ❤
진짜 천재였구나. 5살이라니..! 성장할 들수록 곡이 섬세해지는게 느껴진다. 흥미롭고 재밌다! 좋은 영상 고마워요!
1:45 Hearing the opening of the menuet, Mozart was definitely inspired by BWV 116
As he gets older, his skills become more splendid and his emotions become more sensitive.
9:17 “Lacrimosa, Dies illa, Qua resurgette ex favillia, judicandus homo reus.” The last words Mozart ever wrote before his death as inscribed on the unfinished piece just played. Shortly after, he uttered his final words: “I taste death upon my lips. I feel something that is not of this world.” Just after that, he passes through… to the other side…😔
Heartbreaking
what a beautiful upload...there's the content: mozart keyboard, and there's the uploaders who made a story-tell video of something so special, sensitive and intelligent--thank you
One of my favorite pianist of all times
If he lived 10 more years, Mozart would have been your favorite of all time.
can't resist KV310 the sonata Mozart wrote to mourn the loss of his mother, it's from the only CD i bought on Mozart's sonata, the only one of this genre -> for I am extensively exposed to concertos and symphonies mainly... thank you for bringing to me this K. 397 piece, it's indeed one of the best in Mozart's piano works
What I learned from this, is that Mozart was born looking like he was 70.
The wigs add 60+ years lol
He started out simple and melodic and became more complex and harmonic as time went on. But he never lost that lightness.
The lacrimosa is actually not completely by Mozart himself. He only composed the introitus of the requiem completely, while he left only notes for the other parts. In his notes, the lacrimosa ends after eight tacts. His student Franz Süßmayr completed the work.
Yeah, I remember being told once that the Introit and Kyrie are completely in Mozart's hand, and then it gets less and less Mozart from there, with the Dies Irae being more Mozart than the Tuba Mirum which is more Mozart than the Rex Tremendae which is more Mozart than the Lacrimosa, and then nothing beyond that is Mozart, just in Mozart's style.
That's exactly why it ends specifically on the last part that Mozart wrote in the video...
The brightest stars only shine for half as long.
And shine he did. 🌟
Thanks for sharing. 🙏
It’s crazy going from watching a kid play to a grown man displaying emotion.
Pure genius
He could play blindfolded.
An with hands crossed (right hand on the left side / left hand on the right side) without watching.
The one we are all waiting for 6:35
I think you read my mind 😂
One of my favourite composers. I like the fact that he makes his music sound so pure.
I feel much better knowing Mozart composed K545, his "Easy" Sonata at age 32.
I like how mozart never aged in his pictures. Both his image and his music was consistently on point for a 35 year old man
I love this! Please do this with more composers
so playful , light yet serious
1:38, If someone asked me a concrete example of the genius of mozart, I think I'd pick the precise D# note that sounds in this part.
I don't know enough theory to tell why, but somehow one single note in the left hand (which could have been any) brings so much majesty... ✨️
Neapolitan chord
That's it
Bro at 5 years old is already better than i will ever be in my entire life
For some reason I feel that composers used to consider G major as the ultimate key to write a minuet in
Even 5 years old Mozart playing better than me
imagine what he would have done after 35... my favorite genius and the greatest of all history Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Wow at 7 YO he really already had his own style, and really blossoms.
Then a 5 year old kid make music that is pleasant for our ears, u know he/she is good. At age 7, this is a masterpiece. Many pro composers dont have that skills at all to day
