"The Serenade in B-flat major for 13 wind-instruments, K. 361, is far from an arrangement. Mozart had begun it in Munich at the beginning of 1781, at the time of the performance of Idomeneo, and completed it in Vienna, at the time of his most strenuous efforts to escape from the bonds of Salzburg. In composing it he probably had in mind the excellent wind-players of Munich, as well as the intention of once more trying to insinuate himself into the favor of Carl Theodor by means of an extraordinary piece. We have no evidence that the 13 players ever actually came together in Vienna; there exists an arrangement of this work for the four customary pairs of winds (K. Anh. 182), which may very well have been Mozart's own idea. The contra-bassoon is not named in the autograph: Mozart calls for a double bass. But this in no way contradicts the 'open-air' character of the extraordinary work, which, in any case, rises above any question of purpose into ideal regions. Whether the title Gran Partita, which perhaps hints at performance in the open, was affixed by Mozart himself, is uncertain-the authenticity of the handwriting of this title in the autograph is doubtful.
"The fascination of the work emanates from its sheer sound. There is a continuous alternation between tutti and soli, in which the part of the soli is usually allotted to the two clarinets; a constant reveling in new combinations: a quartet of clarinets and basset horns, a sextet of oboes, basset horns, and bassoons over the supporting double bass; oboe, basset horn, and bassoon in unison, with accompaniment-a mixture of timbres and transparent clarity at the same time; an 'overlapping' of all the tone-colors, especially in the development section of the first movement. No instrument is treated in true concertante fashion, but each one can, and strives to, distinguish itself; and just as in a buffo finale by Mozart each person is true to his own character, so each instrument here is true to its own character-the oboe to its aptness for cantabile melodies, the bassoon likewise and also, in chattering triplets, to its comic properties. The two pairs of horns furnish the basic tone-color; but the fact that Mozart uses only the first pair in the first slow movement, a Notturno, is an indication of his supreme taste and skill: this is a scene from Romeo under starry skies, a scene in which longing, grief, and love are wrung like a distillation from the beating hearts of the lovers. The counterpart to this lyricism is found in a 'Romance' whose sentimentality is carried towards the point of absurdity by means of an oddly burlesque Allegretto, an 'alternativo.' A third slow movement, an Andantino with variations, has an episodic effect, each variation, however, offering new evidence of mastery. The same is true of the two Minuets, the second Trio of the one being in G minor, and the first Trio of the other in B-flat minor, and all the sections differing in character. A somewhat noisy Rondo forms the conclusion; one might call it a Rondo alla turca, for the theme of which Mozart seems to have recalled the Finale of his youthful four-hand clavier sonata. The Theme and Variations are taken from the Mannheim Flute Quartet K. Anh. 171-if this movement is authentic. But it probably is; very possibly, after the exertion and outpouring of invention of the first five movements, Mozart was willing to permit himself a little relaxation." - Alfred Einstein

19:30 Omg I wanna hug him for making such wonderful music, that lasts for centuries! ❤ he is my favourite composer!
As much as I admire the man for his musical genius, I would advise against hugging him. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Wolfgang_Amadeus_Mozart
Thank you
@@frankl1175 Mozart was poisoned to death in a ritual murder that took place over at last one year. His death was calculated and he knew it. He realized he was writing the requiem for himself.
@@frankl1175 , you would never have hugged him because he died of an acute bacterial infection that could easily be treated today?
I was listening to this while studying for over two years ... when i finally finished i bought a ticket to rome and went to see the villa d'este for myself.
There, below the steps up to the stately house i listened to it again and felt the weight and burden of my student years lift up and fly away on notes of pure delight.
Danke Wolferl!
I love stories like yours, covering a wide range of interconnected experiences. I was a student in Rome in Notre Dame's Architecture Program. I remember the first time I walked into the Piazza San Pietro to see the Basilica I had the soundtrack of "Shoes of the Fisherman" by Alex North playing in my head.

As a Beethoven's lover and follower of his art for a lifetime, I have to recognize that this is the greatest work for woodwinds assembly of the history, and one of the greatest works ever conceived by a human mind.
A truly gift to mankind by Herr Mozart.
You are right, Beethoven's music is amazing too, he and Mozart are my favourite composers ❤
I rank them Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, always in that order, but no 4 is sometimes Handel, sometimes, Verdi, Wagner, Schubert etc.....
@@dubbelhenke854 I agree with your ordering. And just cannot shake the feeling that there is a gap between Mozart and the rest. When will we have another Mozart? Will it be in our lifetimes?
@@agritrend4812 No the only thing we will have is a lot of brainwashed, stupid and uncultured Smartphone Zombies.
@@dubbelhenke854 Do not worry too much! Some of us use our smart-phones to play Mozart to our three year olds!!!
Definitely a ‘desert island ‘ piece. I’ve performed this twice. One of the most breathtaking performances of my life!!
Didn’t expect to feel this way but, the clicking of the keys on the instruments actually makes it even better. I feel like I’m there
You know, it's funny, the first time I noticed clicking winds was on this recording of Daphnis and Chloe. That's a piece, if any, where you want to be swept away from the practical nature of the creation of music and see the fantasy. Yet still, those clicking keys were always something I enjoyed about that recording. Great observation!
I don't hear the key clicks, I just hear the music itself.
What an absolutely stunning performance of this. His balance and handling of articulation is energetic and at the same time elegant. Something else.

Lucy Farrimond,
Félicitations pour votre vocation.
J'adorerais entendre ça.
J'imagine quelle belle voix tu as!!!
The Menuetto - Trio I - Trio II at 09:14 reminds me of my dad. Although he wasn't there for much of my life growing up, and even now, he introduced me to classical music and for that I am eternally grateful. That part always brings back memories of the few times I spent with him. Together with the second movement of the Flute and Harp Concerto, I'm always almost moved to tears when i listen to them. Mozart is the best!
The greatness and wonderfulness of Mozart ’s music is off the charts
Ive played this on contrabassoon, twice. This is by far the hardest movement. It was clearly written for a string bass. There is NOWHERE to take a breath. But, goosebumps every time Ive played it and hear it.
Can you share some video/album recording of that version? I would like to hear how contrabasoon works in the piece, but it is hard find really. It is always a bass
KV 46 I believe is what you are looking for @xura that @carlos was referring to. Although only one recording of this *seemingly* exists, it is proof that the whole serenade was once a string quintet. So yes you are right, and you are welcome 🤗💕
This is considered the gold standard of woodwind serenades for all composers in all music periods.
How anyone can down vote this celestial music is beyond me. This is the music angels play while on holiday in the divine regions.
Rightly said - Only tone deaf idiots will vote it down!
Mozart had and still has a great number of envious detractors.
Thanks to works like this, I feel happy to be alive.
Thank you, herr Mozart.
The whole piece is bewitching, but the final Rondo is the definition of Joy. ❤️
I have Sir Neville Marriner's conducting of the Gran Partita which is really wonderful. This performance with Sir Charles Mackerras is an equally wonderful and beautiful interpretation. Each instrument with its own special timbre of this recording is simply outstanding in this beautiful Mozart piece. Bravo to both Sirs.
Guess It Was Fate i realy don’t like Beethoven, take his mad face off from , Mozart subject here !
Each era in classical music provides a unique perspective on the world and human emotions. Exploring and understanding the history of classical music offers insights into the culture and mindset of that period.
A single note unwavering!
This is a truly one of Mozart's Masterpieces!!

Some say Mozart is a master of simplicity.
Others say Mozart is a master of complexity.
I say Mozart is a master.
:-)
Actually it was all composed by his wife (and previously his sister) but the patriarchy has covered this up. Also the fact that the Mozarts were Black Muslims.
@@robinpclarke congratulations 🎈🍾🎊🎉
Mozart es sólo Mozart....un genio que vino de otra dimensión y nos visitó y dejó joyas de arte para que nosotros los simples mortales, a más de 200 años de su muerte, disfrutemos simplemente...Saludos María.-
a slight correction: THE Master
Can't get enough of the Adagio, Largo and Menuetto
I love the scene in Amadeus where Salieri is describing the adagio.
That scene where Salieri refers to the Adagio is from the Clarinet Concert.
In the scene where he first sees Mozart, Salieri is reading the score to this adagio, when Wolfie snatches it away off of the music stand.
Me too
I know Right
Absolutely spellbinding. Only Mozart could have composed this!
asi como la novena de Beethoven la pudo escribir solamente Beethoven esta partitura la pudo escribir solo Mozart
Equally remarkable, for the same reasons, is his Wind Serenade in C Minor, K 388.
Mozart, sinónimo de música del Paraíso!
@@rubenfeighelstein9218 Only Mozart? Bach composed in Mozart style befor Mozart's birth... The Beethoven's quartets are without paralells.. Mozart composed well... ecco. lo gho ditto! (Venetian)

La musique de Mozart et sa poésie se font comme l'amour se fait ; un échange de sang, une étreinte totale sans aucune précaution, sans aucune protection. Le grand saut à chaque fois !!🤗
Thanks for this amusing description of French sex, of overwhelming emotion blinding the pre-frontal cortex, very romantic in a fictional, make-believe way.
The reality is more pedestrian. Sex is not a "grand saut a chaque fois" (a big jump each time). Sex is done primarily because it feels good, as a very down-to-earth, fundamentally natural, device of evolution to make sure that somehow the species continues.
Hopefully there is no "echange de sang" (exchange of blood) as it would mean that one of the partners is seriously sick and bleeding. The "etreinte totale" (total embrace) is a wonderful exaggeration that perhaps teenagers still experience the first time. "Sans aucune precaution, ou protection" (Without any precaution or protection) is valid only for very foolish young people totally unaware of what's going on in the world. And nowadays they're not easily found, not in our Western world, and our modern times. This kind of description in no way applies to Mozart or his music, where emotional power is always intimately linked to high-level technical skill and inherent, self-sure control.
In short, this kind of characterization of Mozart's poetic spontaneity "c'est de la litterature, pour faire des phrases pour faire impression mais qui n'apprennent rien a personne". (This is pure fiction-writing, to make sentences apparently impressive, but that do not provide any info). Let's be frank: this kind of comment is pure old-fashioned pretentious French hogwash, perhaps linked to the French, Catholic-derived, fantasy of "le grand amour" (the all overwhelming love that transcends ordinary living).
This is exquisite! First heard it on the radio, Charles MacKerras conducting, and had to buy the same recording. I used to go down from the mountains after a day's skiing listening to Sir James Galway's interpretation of Mozart's fute concerto..Himmlich!
Il più grande genio musicale, Mozart rimarrà insuperabile.
Thank you UA-cam for bringing beautiful music to us.
Third movemennt of this is amazing. It is simply one of the best pieces music of all time.
THIRD? ROMANCE IS BEST BEAUTIFUL. AND SIX MOVEMENT..............WONDERFUL....
the trio after 16:11 is simply divine, thank you for this great recording
Obrigada por ter existido, Mozart...
Deux minutes de bonheur entre 16:12 et 18:12 avant l'extraordinaire adagio commençant à 19:30.
Quel génie ce Mozart...
Reminds me to Vivaldi at his RV 156
The Adagio section is ... transporting. Music of such glassy transparency one feels one is peering into heaven.
Marc DeFrancis
Just had to wax poetic eh?
Marc DeFrancis : that’s actually a good definition of any Mozart work...
While Beethoven created his music, Mozart's "is so pure that it seem to have been ever-present in the universe, waiting to be discovered by the master."
*Albert Einstein*
I automatically lost my respect for that man. Who’s to say that my music was not ever-present?
@@amerrylittlemonarch Haha hello beethoven
Sure, your music is wonderful, but Mozart's compositions are magical :)
@@jesusmanriquezsantana1590 My music is magical, as well. Take a look at my 32nd Sonata, the slow movements of any of my symphonies or sonatas, and the 5th Piano Concerto.
@@amerrylittlemonarch I love the third movement of your ninth symphony and the second movement of the pathétique sonata.
Mozart and Beethoven they met, really. 🎶
So sublime, this is unreal, celestial.
Music for the soul!
Rondo at the end is just mind blowing! Love it! So different that anything else at the time. he went out side the box AGAIN
One of the most beautifull songs in music history, Mozat was in a vibe of his own
Mozart was an Angel of the real God.
Mozart was a flesh and blood human being. No silly superstitions are required to appreciate his genius.
Great rendition ! This familiar music has now been recorded many times, but seldom as effectively as it is here. Sir Charles Mackerras is a superb Mozartean, and this performance just brims with life. The rhythms are crisp and clearcut, the phrasing loving, and the balances consistently superb. Telarc's recording, with its lifelike presence, is another positive factor
He was also principal oboe of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, having learned from the great Evelyn Rothwell who has had a profound influence on thousands of oboists since she wrote her wonderful tutorials. It helps explain Mackerras's wonderful lyricism.
it begins like a rusty old squeezebox and then soaring high above it an oboe which is taken over by a clarinet and turns it into a phrase of sweetest delight. Why don't they make movies like this anymore?
If I recall: Mozart and friends in Mannheim were getting the piece ready to play, and the bass player couldn't show up, flu or something, so they got the [court] bassoonist and Mozart wrote him out a part.
...so Serenade for 12 winds plus Bass became Serenade for 13 Winds.
@@comic4relief That's the explanation ! But was it really in Mannheim ? The famous Mannheim orchestra had moved to Munich in 1779.
the contrabasson is the instrument of choice, for me..
I love mozarts music
I have played classical music all my life, but my loss, never this piece. One of my bucket list that probably will never materialize.
This music is brilliant, inspired and breathtaking. This piece identifies him as a Master.
I wish more of the great masters wrote music for wind bands!
escuché esta serenata por primera vez en 1983, en un homenaje a Mozart que organizaron varias orquestas de Caracas, varios musicos de la actual orquesta sinfónica municipal de caracas la tocaron y me enamoré del adaggio, compré el disco y ya no recuerdo cuantas veces la he escuchado. El dialogo entre los instrumentos inisinúa el amor en todas sus manifestaciones: parental, de pareja, entre amigos, amor por la naturaleza y el universo. gracias Mozart

Achingly beautiful ❤️
Mozart’s music quenches the dryness of the soul, and is an exilir to purify the soul
If only Mozart had lived as long as Telemann❗
I agree. His foes, of which Mozart had many and he knew it, killed him off ritualistically and really made him suffer before the final death knell got him just after midnight on December 5, 1791.

Amadeus brought me here
Another good piece by Mozart. He was a good composer who accomplished so much.
Marty. Monforte : you are a master of understatement...
Wonderful and soothing to listen too. As a person who suffers from tinnitus l cannot describe in words how this helps with calming 'the noise' down, and give me relief, if only for those few precious minutes.
Most comments mentioned this from 'Amadeus'. This music was also used in the dinner scene in an even older movie 'Soylent Green'.
Whomever posted this, two simple words.

Mozart was so good at writing for wind instruments
A beautiful rendition. A lot of listeners may not know this, but Sir Charles was a fine oboist in his young days, indeed was Principal Oboe in the Sydney Symphony for a while.
El tercer movimiento, el adagio, es precioso. Aparece en la película Amadeus dirigido por el personaje de Mozart.
LOVE THE LAST MOVEMENT! very melodic!
thank you so much for uploading this! one of the most beautiful pieces I know
Fantástico performance.
Something oddly refreshing about this work - the timbres, the colours - and I have vastly more to say on this work which will have to keep
Mozart lives.
Klaus Toth ...absolutely
His music completes me. I miss playing it.
Superb version by Mackerras.
eternal Mozart, true perfection
No it is not perfection: This is Mozart hard at work to make the woodwind do what he wants them to. Strings are not a problem, because he and Haydn knew all about them. The tempered piano also not a problem - Bach had solved that. But the woodwind!!
That what he presented was somehow written by God? No, or God needed a lot of hard work and all the help he could get. There are lots of fragments for woodwind where he works with Anton Stadtler to see what the clarinette can actually do. His brother was specialised on the basset horn - which is more akin to the cello.
'Tis hard work giving the illusion of perfection
As close to perfection as we'll likely ever here in our lifetime or thereafter. That's the hallmark of Mozart's music. Balance, inventiveness and endless, effortless melodies. No other composer was so prolific. Doesn't sound like he struggled to create a masterpiece to me.
@@carsonphillips524 I agree Mozart was very much inspired and it flowed, but yes: it no doubt took INTENSE concentration. Supreme genius. An utterly amazing output.
@@lenhummel5614 Imagine they hadn´t killed Mozart at 35.
Who is the recording genius (the orchestra, yes. the maestro of course) but the sound engineers deserve some kind of medal
I completely agree. I tend to like recordings that are lightly engineered. That is one of several reasons why a majority of recordings I have bought are of live, public performances. (I generally prefer to go to a concert than listen to a recording.) I don't know the history of this recording in that respect. I can tell there's some engineering going on; but it's so subtle and so well balanced that it has the kind of sonority that can pass for a live performance in a fairly resonant hall. As you say - medal-deserving!
Adagio ooomy god !!!! Sooo great make me feel into the clouds lol
See also 'Salieri describing the music of Mozart' in side panel. One of the most moving moments in all cinema....
Too many notes.
