Mozart

[nik0tine]

This thread exists to serve two purposes. It can be used primarily as a general discussion thread about Mozart. However, I also have a question. I bought this (http://www.amazon.com/Wolfgang-Amadeus-Mozart-Complete-Works/dp/B000BLI3K2/ref=pd_bxgy_m_img_b/104-1080533-6087902?ie=UTF8) the other day, and it arrived today. I'm unfamiliar with the majority of Mozarts works (Although not for long) and I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. I'm not certain where to start. Like everyone else I'm familiar with Mozarts really famous stuff, like Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, a few of his symphonies (40 and 41, for the most part) and Requiem. Basically I just want to know what you think I should listen to first.

Anyhow, Discuss Mozart, answer my question, or be off with you! :mad2:

Requiem is my favourite. Dies Irae! You'll be howling it for days.

mozart was amazing....but i'm too low-class to talk about classical music

[Roto13]

[I Took the Red Pill]

I don't listen to much Mozart, but my favorite is Symphony No. 25 in G Minor.

Mozart < Bach

Bach wrote more cello stuff. I like Mozart just not as much as Bach.

Don Giovanni is pretty good. if you are into his late works the Clarinet quintet is good.

[nik0tine]

I like Bach better, too. I also ordered the complete collection of Bachs works as well. It hasn't come yet, though.


Don Giovanni is pretty good. if you are into his late works the Clarinet quintet is good.I remember seeing Don Giovanni with my dad when I was like, thirteen. I thought 'this gay lol!!1'. I didn't even know Mozart had written it until about a year ago. I'm not a big fan of Opera, but I'll definetly listen to his Operas at least once. Who knows it may probably will change my mind.

Oh, I guess I should have gone with the white trash joke instead. Oh well. I won't be losing any sleep over it.

I saw Don Giovanni last year. I was hungry.

I don't really know much about classical music, but I do have a decent-sized collection which I listen to fairly often.

I'm a big fan of Mozart's piano concertos. They're my favorite "casual listening" classical works and what I most often pop into the player. They're perfect for me because I don't know enough about music to appreciate the genius or art of the masterpieces, but I do know what sounds good to me and what fits my general lifestyle (IOW, I can listen to them while I'm doing something else vs. symphonies, which I feel obligated to actually sit down and concentrate on).

I have listened to most of his later symphonies though, and would say that I like no. 41 the best with no. 35 close behind.

A little night music.

[Novaris]

not my pack of biscuits but the guy is a saint among musicians, dead or alive. If someone hasn't heard of him then who knows the trials they'll face.

[Devourment]

Oh I love Mozart's music. Great. :D

I like a good range of clasical. But Antonio Vivaldi & Nicolo [can't be arsed with accent] Paganini are my faves.

[~SapphireStar~]

Mozart did Rex Tremendae? Its on the Father Ted.

[Sefie1999AD]

There are several great songs by W. A. Mozart, though I don't have many of them at the moment. Symphony #40 is great, "A little night music" too, the Marriage of Figaro is pretty good and what I remember of Don Giovanni was good too. Requiem is a great piece of work by Mozart, and some parts of it are even quite scary.

For those of you who haven't heard his 'Paris' Symphony, (31 in D Major) you need to check it out. It's brilliant and bright and really colorful. After hearing it I've decided that it's my favorite Mozart symphony.
