It's a shame that Mozart departed us at such a young age. The Requiem, the Clarinet concerto & his late symphonies began to show a new direction in his composition style. One can only image what Mozart would have created along side Beethoven and Schubert! It would have been wonderful but humanity tends to reward geniuses not in their lifetime but after they are dead and buried for years.
In watching Mozart's death scene in the movie, I wonder if he would have been treatable by today's medical technology. His cause of death is unknown, but there is lots of speculation. Who knows how much more incredible music he would have written had he lived longer!
For some reason, I have this feeling that had Mozart lived another 20-30 years, his style would have maybe evolved into something along the lines of Schubert’s. I say this because Schubert’s style started in a late classical style, then moved into a more romantic style, while keeping elements of the classical style, similar in my opinion to Mozart’s. In fact, parts of the first movement of Schubert’s 9th remind me of the fourth movement of Mozart’s 41st symphony. What do you think?
So true! I agree with you 100% no doubt there would be a style change, as Mozart would be influenced by other newer music that would have emerged. After all look at the great mass in C minor that he left incomplete. Musicologists have stated that the great mass would have been greater than the requiem..
This was from the scene in the movie Amadeus that changed me forever. I was a teenager watching this movie with my parents who rented the movie and brought it home on a rainy day. I had no interest in classical music or operas, in fact despised it, and didn't want to watch the movie. But what else to do on a rainy day? So I watched, and became interested in the movie somewhere around the halfway point. Then this scene came up, I was amazed by all the terms and how many parts there was to put this all together. It caught my attention, and I was blown away by how it could be put together in the mind, all the parts, and how it came together so beautifully. Listening to each part, the voices and the instruments as it was described, then put all together changed that rebellious teenager into a person who enjoys classical music and opera, and continues today still some 35 years later. I'm still amazed when I listen to this scene. I greatly appreciate the work you put into this video, showing the music and mixing the dialogue from the movie. This scene forever changed me, and it's so wonderful to see it now too. Thank you.
dude how could not become interesting in the movie from the beginning that was the best part, the starting was the strongest part of the film, the was Salieri is narrating the events and describing it was amazing
This is one of the greatest feats of editing I have ever seen, period. Absolutely masterful. Mozart's music is so dense and intricate that one can get lost in it - but you present it in a lucid and astonishingly clear manner. I thoroughly enjoyed this video and will be subscribing. Bravo!
Joe DiNoto Mozart’s music is not dense. On the contrary, it’s usually cristal clear. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think that’s bad, and I LOVE Mozart’s music
@@wanderlngdays I wouldn't say "crystal clear"; musicologists have been analyzing it since forever. Not "dense", either. Perhaps "layered" is a better term. Idk.
That's the joy I experience when I'm rehearsing this music - I get to know it in such depth, noticing exquisite subtleties. Rehearsal or performance, I look forward to each moment!
Truthfully we preachers preach because we believe in those flames. It's why we have a passion to reach people with the message of redemption through the Gospel of Jesus Christ so that people can escape those eternal flames of woe. Like Richard Baxter said in his work, "The Reformed Pastor". "Preach about Hell, but only do so with tears."
@@vanmoody As a pastor than you would know it's all contrived via ancient Greek and Roman pantheon belief about Tartarus for those who were especially mean spirited and absolutely wicked in life, and has no notion in any thing of the various gospels nor old testament Torah; purgatory nor hell is ever explained in any detail other than medieval and renaissance entertainment narratives like Dante's Inferno. Such morbidity is used to incite emotional fear to spark irrationality into joining whatever cult. There is no substantiation to it, and if there is any sort of divine punishment as if there is any afterlife whatsoever, pushing that garbage may just get you just a small taste of that empty fear mongering. If there are any gods or god worthy of worship, an infinite punishment for finite crimes would never be something in consideration unless such divinities or divinity itself is pure evil utterly unworthy of any thanks for anything, let alone worship.
As a composer I get so much out of this. The many voices all having their affect on time. Setting the tone and flow. The conversation, tension and response, tension and build, ascension and release. What he mastered was communication, perfect human conflict and resolve. It is the human art of understanding the music it’s voice, the ear it’s canvass and the heart it’s victim and victor. Pure genius.
I can´t hardly imagine the creativity and long work done for the elaboration of this video. Thanks for enlightening those of us who know very little about music notation but admire Moazrt's genius.
OMFG this was absolutely awesome. If there was an entire movie that was just this, Mozart dictating, I would so watch it and be happy doing so. Too bad it was just this one scene at the ass end of the movie lol. Thank you for this upload and the work that went behind it.
Whoever did this should earn at least 10% of whatever Peter Shaffer, Milos Forman, F. Murray Abraham or Tom Hulce made out of this wonderful scene... Amazing, thank you.
I read music only very poorly, but I love music greatly. Your video helped me to understand this amazing piece better than ever before. Bravo and thank you
I think it's great for anybody as you get to appreciate and maybe make your own tunes up, on the various layering and effects that can be achieved. This was my favorite part of the entire movie.
Amadeus is my favorite "musical biopic". Even though Mozart and Salieri were never rivals, its such a powerful drama, and a unique character study. I love how Salieri is consumed with envy yet he is the only one who truly sees Mozart's genius. This scene is like Salieri is killing Mozart with the music that only Mozart could write. So much nuance and emotion.
Pathetique If Mozart is not worth romanticization then who or what is? If there is a god - or some nameless all powerful divine force - Mozart was one of the highest amongst men who come closest to him.
@@MisterPathetique you sir couldn't have chosen a more suitable name. Its just perfect with your comment. The music of that man is powerful, majestic and, yes, romantic in itself. Mozart was a forerunner of the romantic musical current. So it's actually accurate to speak of him using that word.
Mozart "consigned to flames of woe. ...do you believe in it?" Saliari "what?" Mozart "A fire that never dies. Burning you forever..." Saliari "oh yes..." Mozart "it possible?"
@@Arnoudbr Despite Amadeus being Wolfie's middle name, I'm convinced that in this movie title, the word Amadeus was referring to Salieri... his "Love of God" brought him to do some terrible things. Amadeus = Lover of God.
Mozart is the most incredible composer who ever lived. This Requiem was composed 222 years ago and it is still being played today. You don't have to know about classical music to love Mozart's music, you just have to hear it. The compositions are incredible and the breadth of Mozart's music is tremendous. No one like him came before and no one like him came after. I often wonder how incredible he would had been if he had lived past 35.
The amazing thing is how this music creeps into our daily lives without even realising it. What Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach had done, I wish I can go back in time and witness this music being performed for their premiers. How awesome it must of had been to experience. Though not related to this portion of the Requiem, but it is sorta funny how they play Lacrimosa during the hotels.com adverts
Yes. This is the sort of video that brings to life the clashes, conflicts, tension that each voice imparts on another. In total you hear the complete work, but as you break it down you begin to uncover a rich tapestry of harmony, dissonance, resolution. You can see the same if you analyse a Bach organ fugue or even his two part inventions. I originally wrote "simpler" inventions, but they are anything but simple. Even two voices can combine to be much greater than the sum of their parts. Bach and Mozart taught us that.
me: "the fries goes with the mayonaise" waiter: "no, no, i don't understand" me: "LISTEN to me, the fries goes with mayo, alright?" waiter: "yes, yes i see now" me: "good"
I don't know how many thousands of videos I've watched on youtube over the years, but this is the first one that ever moved me enough to comment. Stumbling upon this made my day. I've absolutely loved this scene in Amadeus for decades, since I first saw it. Thank you so much for all the work you put into this and your other videos as well.
the second voca me always almost crushes my head , so perfect the short chromatic passage in the violins come so heavenly and the rhythm thank you very much for your uploads, recognized them unfortunately just a few days ago great job
This is unbelievable. Mozart’s music makes my heart melt. Watching it like this shows just how complicated, brilliant and perfectly thought out his music was before he put it to paper
This video is such a work of art! The amount of thought that went into editing this is incredible. It tells the story as effectively as the film itself! 😊
I am stunned. You not only have an artist's vision, you have the skill. Words cannot describe what your video gave to me. What I've learned reading about Mozart, his work and life, the film Amadeus magnificently crafted (albeit with poetic license), finding the script and discovering it so moving I wept. Then this I discovered immediately after. I'm not a musician so I don't have the gift of visualizing the structure, geometry and intertwined threads - this gave me a beautiful taste of it. p.s. Discovered my passion for Classical music at age three before I could read....by myself. Thank you. This is a gift.
The passage starting "Oro supplex et acclinis" is perhaps the finest sequence in the entire work as the music descends semitone by semitone into the dark.
Made me feel so sad. Mozart's last breaths of genius for our world. What could he have given us in another 20 years of writing, he was getting more and more amazing. Symphony 40 omg :(
00:57 "A minor... A minor..." "Yes? Confutatis, A minor..." What happened here is that Tom Hulce's earpiece - where he was getting recorded directions from Sir Neville - failed, so he was waiting for the cue. But because of the excellent rapport that Hulce and Abraham had, they acted right though it, and that is what we see in film. Hulce et al confirms this in "The Making of..." video.
This, THIS is the BEST Christmas present I have ever gotten for myself. I cannot tell you how absolutely wonderful, exciting, emotional, humbled, grateful, and happy this video made me. For the Musical Nerd that I am, I can only quote from the movie Farinelli, "Vous, Monsieur. Vous-etes, la raison de mon premier orgasme musicale". Perhaps, not my first... but anyone that truly appreciates ART and this talent will understand where I am coming from. THANK YOU!!!!! A million times Thank You for taking the time to take on such an endeavor!
I'm stunned at the very least! I cannot describe how this video effects me, I play several instruments, and read music , and have tried my feeble hand at writing it, but this just blows me away!
I watched this video months ago, but since then once in a while I need to come back and watch it again. The song itself is no doubt spectacular, but I really do think it's the video that really catches how much of a genius Mozart was. This truly deserves more views.
I love this video, I could sing the bass part for the first time in my life. Thank you very much. Keep doing thise marvelous videos to teach grown ups and kids. May the gods bless you for this inspirated work.
I am literally in tears, this shook me to core to see it written down like I was there. I just had to start to sing along the voices. It's incredible. I don't know how I am even able to write this right now, as I would not be able to actually say these words out loud, my mouth would not be able to move to form the words...
This is the most wonderful thing I've ever seen. I saw the movie yesterday and loved this scene and now I found out this wonderful video. I loved every single thing of this video, you did even show Salieri hesitating when writing down! This is definitely one of the most underrated channels on UA-cam, every single thing Gerubach does is amazing! Greeting from Colombia!
Thanks kauczuqo, but I'm not a genius. I'm just the messenger. Mozart & Sir Neville Marriner & the performers of the St. Martin-in-the-Fields are the real geniuses!
Which is ironic to faux artists today, who only seem to ever care about money and adulation. Mozart didn't have either, yet Salieri recognized his greatness (as according to this film). Unfortunately, in the real world, if you don't have the fame, no one cares.
Well, you know it was a movie, right? It's a pity that the filmmakers couldn't convey the genius of Mozart without horribly maligning Salieri, who was by all accounts a gentleman who did not plot against Mozart. I agree he was a useful plot device but it would never have been done if he were alive to defend himself.
@@Jessicaunarex I would argue that Mozart did have fame. The Courts of Europe patronized him. The aristocracy did too. Unfortunately, in those days composers were treated as little more than artisans and treated like trades people. Beethoven, however, changed that forever.
@@christinemusselman5499 Beethoven was the first punk rocker. He shook his fist at the Aristocracy and yelled at the top of his lungs. The Choral Fantasy and the 9th Symphony are headbanger's delights. The Choral Fantasy is brutally violent in places.
I just want to say that this video is pure genius! (Genius [W. A. Mozart] combined with more genius [Milos Foreman et. al. "Amadeus"] combined with yet more genius [gurubach]!). I've watched this quite a few times and it never fails to amaze. Not many things impress me...This DID! Great Job!PS: love your channel in general (few, if any musicians could live up to what J. S. Bach accomplished. The greatest of them!!)Take care, my friend...and thanks for all of your hard work!
Without question, one of the best videos I have EVER seen on YT. The editing is brilliant and you capture the moment perfectly. Seeing the 'scores' scroll past, watch each note/phrase as they enter and leave... Absolutely superb video. Thank you for posting.
This is like seeing the children I've seen the unimaginable beauty of being explained to me. It is SO bloody awesome and helps to show a glimpse of genius, but my god, Mozart could very nearly paint heaven and hell using the very limited pallette of sound. I wish my mind was as able to comprehend half of what my heart does though.
"Pocchi, ma Buoni" indeed! I'm sure there will be more hits Ottavva. This video is still ripe hasn't had enough time to grow. Thank you for the positive comments and I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
This is one of the must beautiful thing I have seen in a long while. The beauty of the music, the mastery of the editing that captures the moment of creation of a divine piece. Well done, sir. Well done.
What a clever didactic, yet wholly entertaining video you have put together here! I'm a classical musician and I learned something from this video, which has to do with the alto in the voca me section, but I think this is accessible to anyone who'd be interested. If you don't mind, I'd like to show this video to my choir which I direct. Excellent and valuable work, my friend.
I can't even fathom how Mozart heard every single instrumentation and voices in his head and how he wanted every part to play a certain phrase. Remarkable!
Simply BRILLIANT editing and construction! Also brilliant that AMADEUS made this section famous - and (credit where it's due!) got it so RIGHT! Can't say enough what an astounding job this is, gerubach!
I love how they embody Mozart's mind. Especially when they show how he chose the melody and how some of the notes were picked out of order. Or when he just interjects "rest" a couple seconds into the piece. Its also musically moving.

Mozart: we ended in F major

For the Musical Nerd that I am, I can only quote from the movie Farinelli, "Vous, Monsieur. Vous-etes, la raison de mon premier orgasme musicale". Perhaps, not my first... but anyone that truly appreciates ART and this talent will understand where I am coming from. THANK YOU!!!!! A million times Thank You for taking the time to take on such an endeavor!
How I love that scene in "Farinelli".
I really love this version because you can hear each part before hearing how magnificent it is together.
Tears in my eyes at "sotto voce". Every time. Pure perfection!
I'm stunned at the very least! I cannot describe how this video effects me, I play several instruments, and read music , and have tried my feeble hand at writing it, but this just blows me away!
I watched this video months ago, but since then once in a while I need to come back and watch it again. The song itself is no doubt spectacular, but I really do think it's the video that really catches how much of a genius Mozart was. This truly deserves more views.
I love this video, I could sing the bass part for the first time in my life. Thank you very much. Keep doing thise marvelous videos to teach grown ups and kids.
May the gods bless you for this inspirated work.
The "listen to me!!" Part cracked me up for some reason. Amazing video
I am literally in tears, this shook me to core to see it written down like I was there. I just had to start to sing along the voices. It's incredible. I don't know how I am even able to write this right now, as I would not be able to actually say these words out loud, my mouth would not be able to move to form the words...
This is the most wonderful thing I've ever seen. I saw the movie yesterday and loved this scene and now I found out this wonderful video.
I loved every single thing of this video, you did even show Salieri hesitating when writing down!
This is definitely one of the most underrated channels on UA-cam, every single thing Gerubach does is amazing!
Greeting from Colombia!
I played violin in my youth and now I see a marvel displayed before my eyes, and I am overwhelmed! God spoke to humanity through the voice of Mozart.
Thanks kauczuqo, but I'm not a genius. I'm just the messenger. Mozart & Sir Neville Marriner & the performers of the St. Martin-in-the-Fields are the real geniuses!
Thanks for this! As a songwriter and screenwriter I'am eternally indebted
This is brilliant! Thank you so much. I show Amadeus to my students every year and I will include this video when we get to the Confutatis scene!
My jaw just dropped to the floor! This was simply amazingly made! Thank you for making and uploading this
This is pure genius. The way he explains everything makes this even more amazing.
Thanks, hvala.... sto ste ovo podelili sa nama smrtnicima. Stvaranje genijalnog dela
Mocart diktira Salijeriju....
Thank you for this! This helps me understand the requiem even more. I deeply appreciate your effort!
Absolutely love the strings in unison. Broken down this score is incredible!
Salieri was willing to trade an eternity in hell if it meant he could write music that would be deemed blessed
Which is ironic to faux artists today, who only seem to ever care about money and adulation. Mozart didn't have either, yet Salieri recognized his greatness (as according to this film). Unfortunately, in the real world, if you don't have the fame, no one cares.
The movie was based on a fictional play.
Well, you know it was a movie, right? It's a pity that the filmmakers couldn't convey the genius of Mozart without horribly maligning Salieri, who was by all accounts a gentleman who did not plot against Mozart. I agree he was a useful plot device but it would never have been done if he were alive to defend himself.
@@Jessicaunarex I would argue that Mozart did have fame. The Courts of Europe patronized him. The aristocracy did too. Unfortunately, in those days composers were treated as little more than artisans and treated like trades people. Beethoven, however, changed that forever.
@@christinemusselman5499 Beethoven was the first punk rocker. He shook his fist at the Aristocracy and yelled at the top of his lungs. The Choral Fantasy and the 9th Symphony are headbanger's delights. The Choral Fantasy is brutally violent in places.
You guys are the best thing about music writing that YT have ever had! Greetings from Brazil.
I just want to say that this video is pure genius! (Genius [W. A. Mozart] combined with more genius [Milos Foreman et. al. "Amadeus"] combined with yet more genius [gurubach]!). I've watched this quite a few times and it never fails to amaze. Not many things impress me...This DID! Great Job!PS: love your channel in general (few, if any musicians could live up to what J. S. Bach accomplished. The greatest of them!!)Take care, my friend...and thanks for all of your hard work!
Without question, one of the best videos I have EVER seen on YT. The editing is brilliant and you capture the moment perfectly. Seeing the 'scores' scroll past, watch each note/phrase as they enter and leave...
Absolutely superb video. Thank you for posting.
Wow. Having just watched the movie clip, this really reinforced that scene. Excellent job.
Mozart came to this world as a messanger from higher realms and we are constantly blessed by is music. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Amadeus.
This is like seeing the children I've seen the unimaginable beauty of being explained to me. It is SO bloody awesome and helps to show a glimpse of genius, but my god, Mozart could very nearly paint heaven and hell using the very limited pallette of sound. I wish my mind was as able to comprehend half of what my heart does though.
Wolfgang is faced with the end of his life and fear of suffering in hell, but still can't stop to write and feel music. Truly piece of art.
122 people are consigned to flames of woe
lol!
Videos like this restore my faith in social media. Awesome job.
"Pocchi, ma Buoni" indeed! I'm sure there will be more hits Ottavva. This video is still ripe hasn't had enough time to grow. Thank you for the positive comments and I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
This is one of the must beautiful thing I have seen in a long while. The beauty of the music, the mastery of the editing that captures the moment of creation of a divine piece. Well done, sir. Well done.
What a clever didactic, yet wholly entertaining video you have put together here! I'm a classical musician and I learned something from this video, which has to do with the alto in the voca me section, but I think this is accessible to anyone who'd be interested. If you don't mind, I'd like to show this video to my choir which I direct. Excellent and valuable work, my friend.
This is greatest video on UA-cam and deserves so much more views.
Que emocionante de ver y escuchar. Gran trabajo de edición.
I can't even fathom how Mozart heard every single instrumentation and voices in his head and how he wanted every part to play a certain phrase. Remarkable!
I used a font called "Dukeplus" for the latin. I think I downloaded for free online.
You are Brilliant
Simply BRILLIANT editing and construction! Also brilliant that AMADEUS made this section famous - and (credit where it's due!) got it so RIGHT! Can't say enough what an astounding job this is, gerubach!
Just a little error: second "Voca" (F) isn't at the 3rd measure. It is at 2nd. The rest is all so good.
amadeus isnt accurate, take your beef with that movie not here which is well done
This is the best reccomation which I've ever had. Thanks UA-cam. And many thanks for this blessing person who made this video.
Impresionante, muy buen trabajo...
What an awesome depiction of the scene--great for music students!
B R A V O
It is much more of an art than I previously thought
D I V I N E
My all time favorite scenes in the movie! The way it's pulled apart, explained and put back together is phenomenal.
Wow... that is intense..
The editing is so good that I had tears in my eyes. Wonderful.
can I give this a thousand likes?
Comment goes with profile pic
Amazing. Thanks for the the details and step by step recitation. What a wonderful video. We appreciate the time you've put your energy in.
Ah, voices in their respective clefs, EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED
Finally, someone who sees this.
This is one of the best UA-cam clips I have seen in over 5 years!!!
at 4:47 when he says 2 voca he refers to second bar and not the third
The editing and precision of this video is astonishing. It's a work of art in itself. 😮
Just to note an error. starting at 5:24. the english translation should be "consigned", not "cosigned". Other than that, it's awesome!
Really?
WOW, I'm speechless. Definitely this my favorite UA-cam channel, by far!!
Gucci gang Gucci gang Gucci gang Gucci gang Gucci gang Gucci gang Gucci gang
I love how they embody Mozart's mind. Especially when they show how he chose the melody and how some of the notes were picked out of order. Or when he just interjects "rest" a couple seconds into the piece. Its also musically moving.
3:17
actually subdominant
now that I hear the whole thing I realize it was dominant seventh
I have been searching for something like this for years...
Thank you, gerubach.
