I've loved this piece for many years but this was my first time to view the score. I am overwhelmed. The chromaticism and interior modulations blended with his exquisite dialogue, sensitivity, and craftsmanship are truly a thing to behold.
agreed! i'm so grateful the score is here. While this is a beautiful performance, it's not the most balanced recording at times and the cello is a bit lost sometimes, and first violin overwhelms, so it's nice to have the score and see (and better hear) the intricacies!
I have been writing and composing electronic music for as long as I can remember, I even have a floppy disk FM Synth from the 90's! But that being said I see music VERY much in a series of my own spatial dimensions of my mind andf the constant blocks and grids and sinoid shapes combined, always moving along a "grid" it's how ive digested my music forever , to my dismay, I only recieved classical training recently, and none of it focused or even touched on the launguage and systax of sheet music. I am obsssesed with music however and have always been sorta upset that it was a great difficulty for me, and honest frustration that I seemingly couldnt grasp the inherent and very different way of "seeing" your music rather than hearing it. But for whatever reason tonight the rests and fortes allowed me to see the "incoming" tape head tape head or needle so to speak, sorta l.ike I could conduct in my mind. I can tell you though I noticed this in this very same evening your very thought just before I had the epiphany of the aforementioned revalation. And take it from me, that ALLL his pieces have some sort of cubic beauty in MIDI form on a virtual piano roll. ALL of them, this is not always so witrh composers as I have been fascinated by MIDI since the moment I could dial myself onto the internet, and it has become my career. He was a truly gifted human to do what he did in the conditions and sheer lack of positivity other than the LORD in his life. He died a pauper, but IMO not many will ever come close to combined volume and quality to his work, before people even did that kind of prolific music. Your appreciation for his keen eye, ear and heart clearly obssessed with beauty, I say thank you for letting me expierence that with you. Cheers fellow seeker!

You can frame any page of a Mozart score and hang it in your dining room. The symmetry alone, even to those who cannot read music, is just gorgeous. Of course, it’s even better if you can follow the music.
One of the many things that I find so astonishing of Mozart's genius is that he had this piece (and all of his other works) fully composed in his mind before he wrote them down!
While the genius of Mozart is undeniable, the romanticized notion that he had all of his pieces fully fleshed out in his head is most definitely a myth. The Wikipedia article on "Mozart's compositional method" is a good starting point for further research on this topic.
Mozart composed with a keyboard like almost all composers who ever lived and made sketches - his letters corroborate this pretty well. Unfortunately, Constanze, her second husband von Nissen, and Niemetschek began to propagate a heavily mythologized version of the man shortly after his death, and pretty much all subsequent scholarship until the latter half of the 20th century took their word for it without question. What’s even more preposterous is that Constanze even went as far as to destroy sketches - I’d wager that a good chunk of the Requiem was destroyed as well in the process (except for the Amen fugue excerpt, which escaped the flames). It is especially tragic because Mozart’s fragments often reveal his experimental genius (think of the Minuet in D) much more than his finished compositions.
The whole quintet is a masterpiece. The first movement is a masterpiece. But that neapolitan sixth hinted by the first violin at 10:04 is the masterpiece of the masterpiece. Mozart doesn't employ neapolitan sixths that much, but oh boy how beautiful is it when he does.
Interesting to hear the first movement again with its famous "exception" to the rule... but it's a new theme, not to be confused with the second subject which is the relative major after all
There are a few pieces, actually, which have that unusual exception. I think it's kind of cool that they start the second theme in the "wrong" key but end up in the right one a few bars later. His 35th symphony also does something unusual in the transition to the second theme (kind of like he modulates to A major, then backs off to D major, then gets back to A major--first movement) and Beethoven's 8th symphony (first movement) also does it, as just a couple of famous examples.
Nicholas Thorn overall this piece is more orthodox in form and harmonic language than its C Major companion. Nevertheless it's not without musical interest, and it's a passionate, deeply moving work.
@@MaestroTJS Beethoven does this frequently. It's a treat to find in Mozart - that E Flat sidestep with a return to G Minor with a new theme thang was wild.
First time hearing this work. Some kind of Mozart academic /intellectual work. Sounds like Schubert in parts, 50 years early. (As said academic -- dissected by the futcha.) Super.
I agree. Parts a little Schubartian (is that a word). If only Mozart lived 20 more years... The rivallry between Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert would have pushed music further and further.
Isn't it stunning what Haydn, Mozart, Schubert and Beethoven were able to express with their quartets? They were on a level of intimacy and innovation that cannot be found in their other respective compositions.

Albert Einstein criticized the final allegro as not quite having the depth of the rest of the quintet; I think it should be played as a plaintive allegro with the major key hiding the sadness - that is - more slowly & painfully.
The only doubts on Beethoven is he couldn't write a 6th piano concerto. Sure maybe partially cause he was deaf but that just meant he couldn't perform it. I think the real reason is he exhausted every mozart idea in his piano concertos and didn't really know how to move the genre forward. Another problem I have with Beethoven is he has 9th symphony notes going back 15 to 20 years. It n Better be good if you spend that long! I think he waited a little and studied what his new contemporaries were doing and used continued tweaking it.
I love Beethoven , but he had 1/10 the talent of mozart, and he made up for in heart and studied Mozart and Haydn relentlessly his whole life. Mozarts memory was off the charts. That's one talent Beethoven didn't have. Mozart was a math genius like Beethoven. Mozart wrote better melodies, better fugues, better music for the human voice, arguably better string quartets, as Beethoven was still studying his Haydn quartets at the end of his life and says he was still scratching his head at them. If you can still get Beethoven scratching his head in string music, you're a fcking genius!!
The one thing Beethoven did do right even though it took too long was his 9th symphony. It's written in D Minor and it was his last major work. He wanted it to be his last major work, as his idol Mozart that he studied his whole life also wrote his last major work in you guessed it D minor! No one ever talks about that. Beethoven was giving a tribute to Mozsrt by writing in tbe genre he was good at, symphonic writing.. and picking d minor was not a coincidence.
Then try listening to Richter's poetic/lyrical/dramatic interpretation of Mozart's Sonata in A minor k310, I hope it changes your mind :) just keep listening to it until you find it sounding like a musical novel, it's really wonderous.
@@freepagan Oh, the concertos tho, I enjoy those, his works like Piano Sonata no. 16 aren't my type, I like the more darker sounding pieces, like concerto 20.
Brahms. Another man who appreciated Mozarts talent. Even going as far as to say Mozarts #24 piano concerto was way more advanced than Beethovens 4th and 5th piano concertos. Mozarts level of melodic, harmonic, writing was somewhat unmatched in history
The turning point was when Mozarts dad died. I don't know if he was relieved, sad, inspired that he's on his own now or what. But when his dad died, it was master piece after masterpiece and he definitely put his level in another gear.
Last movement resolves the pathos of the first in the same way his operas do. Everyone is dancing around because the darkness is gone.
I find this piece extremely beautiful and entertaining. Its chromaticism is truly something to behold.
chromaticism very advanced for its time.
@@nickn2794 Yes.
@@therealrealludwigvanbeethoven Nevermind the chromaticism! Just look at how modern the rhythm is!

Mozart en todo su poder de dramática profundidad. Músicas como esta muestran los abismos y simas a que podemos llegar los humanos...
I love it when the cello has some work to do.

Yes. Much better when you can read the music. The interchange of parts among all of the instruments is sublime.
calm down and stop lying to yourself.
@@edeliteedelite1961he is right, lol
Melos Quartet was always our favourite, with Mozart, but with Schubert also.

My favourite quintet
이곡의 멜로디의 아름다움이란 말 할수없읍니다
그러나 한없은 슬픔을 간직하고 있씁니다
이런 음악을 모짜르트에게 의뢰하신 하나님의 뜻이 아니라면

그는 최고의 음악가입니다
The Mozart's quintets belong to the spiritual realm. Beauty in itself.
First time hearing this work.
Some kind of Mozart academic /intellectual work. Sounds like Schubert in parts, 50 years early. (As said academic -- dissected by the futcha.)
Super.
Middle movts are wild. Not Schubert: Avant-garde pulse.
no schubert sounds like mozart. ;) both had melodic talent.
I agree. Parts a little Schubartian (is that a word). If only Mozart lived 20 more years... The rivallry between Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert would have pushed music further and further.

Isn't it stunning what Haydn, Mozart, Schubert and Beethoven were able to express with their quartets? They were on a level of intimacy and innovation that cannot be found in their other respective compositions.
Perfection as it is.
Solid. Tempo of the allegro slightly below my imagination, but their conversation is natural and full of life. Quite lovely really.
Thank you! This is a great resource.
Oh this is so good
This complex piece

Best quintet of ALL time
Better than Schubert's cello quintet?
Schubert quintet is GODDD!! Go and listen to it if you haven't!
Yes it is better than Schubert's cello quintet. Most late Mozart works are better than Schubert's works. And I say that as a very big Schubert fan.
more like no. 3
Beautiful great composition,TYSM ♫♪♥
The Melos were, and are, a sadly underrated quartet.
Thank you so much!

The cello could do with a bit more volume at times to match the violins and violas .
Who puts ads in the middle of a string quintet come on man..
Perhaps influenced by Vanhal (minor-key symphonies)?

I am hoping to find a quartet who want another viola, to play this. Nearly as much as I want to form my own quartet...
