Mozart is the man. Despite the movie Amadeus being a gross exaggeration of his life he is still a genius. His music is simplistic in the number of instruments yet complex; a large reason why I like simple melodies and focus more on complex harmonies.
The one thing that has always fascinated me about Herr Mozart was that unlike most all other composers, he didn't need musical script. He could hear all of the parts of the Orcehstra, in time, in his head and he would write without having to play anything on a Piano. Imagine being able to sit down and compose an entire piece in your head, without ever having to hear it, and it be perfect... THAT was the genious of Mozart.
This Mozart quote sums it up:
"Nor do I hear in my imagination the parts successively, I hear them all at once. What a delight this is! All this inventing, this producing, takes place in a pleasing, lively dream."
So, I'm PROUD to share my 20th anniversary year as a piano player with the 250th birthday year of the greatest western musical genious to ever have lived 
Cheers mate!

The image of Mozart as the divinely inspired effortless creator, popularized by the film Amadeus, is generally believed to be an exaggeration. Quite the contrary, Mozart was a studiously hard worker, and by his own admission his extensive knowledge and abilities developed out of many years' close study of the European musical tradition. |
| quote: |
The Salieri of Amadeus, when confronted with Mozart's autographs, remarked on seeing no corrections in the scores: "It is miraculous." Such an observation is also not quite correct. While Mozart, like any composer of his time, had the craft to produce works with unusual rapidity, there were a number of false starts and compositions left in progress over a period of one or two years. For some compositions sketches survive, and one must believe that these were more common than the number of extant examples indicates. Regarding the six quartets dedicated to Haydn, Mozart acknowledged in the letter that prefaced their publication: "They are, indeed, the fruit of a long and laborious study." When Shaffer's Wolfgang tells Schikaneder that The Magic Flute is all in his "noodle" and just needs to be written down, this is something less than a half-truth. Certainly, the concept and much of the composition may have already been formulated; the act of setting the notes on paper certainly engenders changes. For operas, once the rehearsals began, all sorts of revisions might occur to accommodate both the drama and the cast. |
