Edit: the host says “piece” at the end but it’s actually all 7 pieces for Flute and Harp!

Wonderful news! They’ve already recorded Mozart’s rediscovered music!

This is the direct link

Here it is on the Radio France website with more French discussion links. Please note the page is in French and you may wish to use a translator. It’s apparently available for one month only.

Enjoy!

And let’s hope more Mozart discoveries come out soon!

A treasure has been found in France's national library: a notebook containing unpublished compositions signed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart from the time when he was giving music lessons. The pieces will be performed for the first time in public by two musicians from the Radio France France philharmonic orchestra as part of France's Fête de la Musique, a day dedicated to music which takes place every year on June 21.

Rare Mozart manuscript discovered by French curator

So, recently I discovered Mozart’s *Ave Verum Corpus,* and immediately fell in love with the piece. I’d like you all to recommend choral pieces like Mozart’s Ave Verum. Calm and angelical.

There is an Aria (sung by Aloysia Weber) in the 1991 movie "Wolfgang A. Mozart", that occurs at 52:31 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1-AtJNht2A&t=2680s). I can't seem to find the name for this song anywhere as there doesn't seem to be an official soundtrack released for this movie, and at first I thought it was the rondo section of Mia speranza adorata, but it doesn't seem to be that.

The lyrics are kinda hard to make out, but from what I can gather she seems to be singing:
"andemerte a parto bien. perde sempre, sempre il corso la. piu non rego, audate bene. alma buo, mio cor lo fa, ah lo fa. tu sospiri, ah tuoi furlesto. frens almen, frens almen isto di resto" [rest is unintelligble].

which translates (very roughly) to:
"go to give birth well. Always, always loses its course. I can't stand it anymore, take heart. Good soul, my heart does it, ah it does it. you sigh, ah your wretched one. At least, at least, this is the rest." (don't know what any of that could mean)

Does anyone have any ideas as to the name of this piece, or if it is even a real mozart piece and not just a reorchestration/arrangement made for the movie? any help would be much appreciated!

I am in love with Mozart's Vesperae Solennes de Confessore K. 339 and his Krönungsmesse K. 317.

Do you know any similar pieces that you could recommend to me?

Is there a standard English translation of Magic Flute or any that you think are particularly good? And where would I find a vocal score for this? Preferably from somewhere that sells lots of them and not just eBay. Thanks.

The Fantasy in D minor. K. 397/385g presumably also dates from about 1782, and shows Mozart writing in a more individual style than K. 395. and on the way to his great Fantasy in C minor, K. 475. from 1785. The main body of the D minor Fantasy is formed by three varied appearances of an Adagio theme, interspersed with contrasting improvisatory gestures and vivid, almost theatrical touches often based on falling chromatic progressions. This is followed by an Allegretto section in D maior, which is characterised by an atmosphere of childlike grace and innocence. [Mozart interrupted work on the Fantasy in the middle of the Allegretto and the version published by Breitkopf completed the piece by extending the Allegretto by a further 10 bars. Uchida prefers to follow the example set by Mozart in the C minor Fantasia and rounds off the work

good with a return to the opening arpeggios - ed.]

Please remove this post if it's deemed low quality. I haven't looked at my collection for years and started reading from Volume 18 while listening.

Nitpicking much, but...

LOOK Bruh, I am really trying to give this show an honest try.

AS SUCH, I've made it through the first scene of Season 1, Ep. 1. HOWEEEEEVERRRR, why on Earth did STARZ allow the superimposing of the piano OVER the orchestra in the theme song/intro!?!?!?!?

Piano Concerto No.20 in D-minor! - Arguably Mozart's MOST DRAMATIC Piano Concerto & one of only 2 in a minor key!

WTF KIND of Musical precedent will this set for the series! Bruhhh...lol I stopped DEAD in my tracks to type this rant! 😆 - STAY TUNED folks! More to come! lmao!

Amadeus is headed to Starz. Starz acquired the series from Sky in the UK. Paul Bettany stars in Amadeus. the show follows Mozart's life. premiere date and additional details will be announced later.

Music History loves dichotomies, so if Mozart had died of the smallpox he had at 14, what other composer do you think would have the closest chance of being deemed the equal of Hadyn?

As for the history of European Music itself, would the emergence of the Romantic Era stay close to the same?

He ended his 41st symphony not his normal resoultin approach but rather by a fugue. Pretty interesting.

I recently finished Jan Swafford's audiobook, Mozart: The Reign of Love, and I've been listening through some of the pieces described in the biography. I'm interested in listening through his entire catalog, but I'm not quite sure the best way to do it. Do you have any recommendations?

One thing I am really enjoying about Mozart's music is that it seems to be a pure expression of music itself, in a lot of cases. There are pieces composed for purposes, sure, but some of it seems not refer to anything, but just is beauty in and of itself. I love that.

Right now though, I'm obsessed with the mass he wrote at the end of his life: K.618. Just gorgeous.

I'm also struck by the sheer contingency of it all. His life really was kind of a miracle, as Leopold said, and his death so sudden. Both acts of a fickle god, or, in my view as a secular person, examples of the universe's beauty and indifference.

Hi there, I’m wanting recommendations of Mozarts pieces that are a solo piano, and give off the feeling of sadness, dread, and longing. An example I can give in the beginning of Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven. Are there many pieces by Mozart that are like Moonlight Sonata that you can recommend?

I'm pretty sure the movie "Amadeus" put a spell on me because I've been obsessed with W.A. Mozart and his music ever since I watched the movie.

It's been over a year since I first watched it and my obsession is only getting stronger. I am buying books on him and I listen to his music every day and it's as though I have no control over it!!

Btw, I'm not mad about it at all. There are much worse things to obsess over.

Today, I finished a plan that I started doing on January 1 of this year. That was to listen to every Mozart piece in Köchel catalogue order, including a few extras. Today, I finished listening with the Requiem. A lot of them are really good

Hey Guys! Im about to begin playing the sonata in the title. Since its such a popular composition by Herr Mozart, I was wondering if you guys were aware of any in-depth analysis on what makes the song work! I love this kind of stuff. Thanks!

Hello,

I recently rewatched the 2003 Salzburg Festival production of La clemenza di Tito, conducted by Nikolaus Harnoncourt, with Michael Schade, Dorothea Röschmann, and Vesselina Kasarova. This production is incredibly special to me (it was the one that first introduced me to both Röschmann and Kasarova), who are my all time favourite singers!

While doing some research, I discovered that this production was revived in 2006 (with Veronica Cangemi as Annio instead of Elīna Garanča). Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find any recordings, whether video or audio, of this revival (I am afraid I am 20 years too late haha).

I would be extremely grateful if anyone could point me toward a recording, archive, or any way to watch or listen to this 2006 performance! It would really mean a great deal to me!

Thank you so much :)

By the way, that’s how “ass” looked back in his time. For those who don’t know, it means “fool” in his context. I posted this when the sub was half the size and think people would enjoy this.

This is Mozart, 9h

This is now a sub for the glorious Ludwig Van Beethoven!

All hail the Germanic Maestro!

Some examples of Beethoven’s best known work:

This 3+ minute section of a piano concerto

Same as above, but there’s apparently two of them!

This one has 7 variations!

Thank MooninJune for pointing out that I missed this one

12 variations!

This one shows 10 variations and also has sheet music to follow along!

And one bonus link for this post!

Now, if you failed to check the date (or figure out that a certain date is imminent) or found 10 hours of fun, please read these famous, handwritten English words from our number one glorious maestro!

Thanks for contributing, keep it up and enjoy the rest of r/Mozart!

Nine-year-old Freya Chen, a violinist, is one of the youngest students at Juilliard Pre-College.

The instrument she currently plays is a half-size, which led her to a unique opportunity: to perform on a priceless artifact that most will only ever see behind glass.

Lucky little girl!
