Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. “I know for a fact that the Emperor is proposing to mount a German opera in Vienna, and that he is making every effort to find a young Kapellmeister who understands German, has talent and is capable of striking out on a new path. [. . . ] I think it would be a good thing for me – provided, of course, that the pay is good. If the Emperor will give me a thousand gulden, …

Kleine Credomesse. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Im Sommer 1774 schrieb Mozart in unmittelbarer zeitlicher Nachbarschaft zwei Messen, die Missa brevis in F KV 192 und die Missa brevis in D KV 194. Beiden Kompositionen eigen ist eine jeweils mehr oder weniger stark ausgeprägte Neigung zur kontrapunktischen Schreibweise. Dabei versucht Mozart die althergebrachten polyphonen Techniken mit einer modern…

Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. These 21 symphonies, composed by Mozart between 1764 and 1771 are astonishing displays of his precocious genius. Reproduced from the authoritative Breitkopf and Hartel Complete Works Edition, they abound in the qualities that characterise his finest works - melodic richness, musical invention and a much imitated but unsurpassed grace. These 21 symphonies, composed by M…

Arr. Dizzy Stratford. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. C’est de Salzbourg l’enchanteresse, ville natale du grand Mozart, que Dizzy Stratford s’est laissé inspirer pour rendre hommage au génie musical autrichien.

Ergänzt Von Robert D. Levin. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. The Requiem is known to the general public in the version undertaken immediately after Mozart's death by his pupil Franz Yaver Süßmayr. The attacks against Süßmayr's completion began in 1825, when the so-called 'Requiem Controversy' erupted. Over the last decade a number of musicians have attempted to cleanse the Requiem of the deficiencies…

G-Dur. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. The G major mass of Mozart followed a very special type of mass pattern, namely, that of the 'Missa pastoralis'. In Mozart's time it was a widespread type of mass, especially in Bohemia and Italy, in which melodies and rhythms like those familiar from pastoral Christmas music were frequently found. The themes in this type of mass are song-like and often make use…

B-Dur. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. To a greater extent than almost any others, Mozart's Masses combine a very high degree of artistic accomplishment and tonal beauty with fulfilment of the demands made by the Liturgy. Even the textually expansive movements 'Gloria' and 'Credo' are, in most of Mozart's Masses, short enough to meet the requirements of a festive service, today as in his time. The ch…

Passionskantate. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. The Carus critical new edition is the very first edition of the Grabmusik which is based on Mozart’s separate autographs for movements 1–6, and 7–8, respectively. The fact that the final movement also contains two horn parts which have never appeared in print is an absolutely sensational discovery. Now the work may be again performed using Mozart’s las…
