He wasn’t 37 when he died - he was about a month and a half away from his 36th birthday. And he wasn’t a rake either, or at least I doubt it from reading his letters. From his own words, it seems like he was a very religious Roman Catholic and was faithful to his wife Konstanze. Sure, I’ve heard the rumors about him having syphilis but never seen any real evidence for it.
And then you have the film that made him look idiotic. Thanks for setting the record straight.
At first I thought it strange that you made multiple videos praising composers as the greatest of all time, but in reality it really does fit. Who could ever choose to champion one of the three over the others when their accomplishments where so wholly unlike. Bach consolidated into music a foundational craft as solid as bedrock and spiritual passion that was unrivaled. Mozart refined all technique of his time to the greatest heights and then innovated to tread a path forward. Beethoven pushed the boundaries of his time in both expression and innovative craftsmanship and finally shattered all limits of his era.
All of them were the greatest, all in their own ways.
The part of his Requiem ín this video is Introitus, not Kyrie.
Also, he never finished the Requiem. It was finished by one of his pupils.
@@ZachDrake5960 The pupil was Franz Xavier Sussmayr, who grew up to be an established composer.
@@AllComposersbyNumbers I knew that, but thank you.
Thanks for making this. I'll send to my friends who deserve Mozart
I hate people with innate musical abilities. Not really, just jealous. I cannot fathom how someone can visualize these works of art in their minds. Just beyond my comprehension!
I egg
Mozart got tons of practice, I mean tons, it was 10 years of writing concertos before he wrote his own true original masterpiece
There is no such thing as a person with innate musical abilities, in the music world you can have the most talent in the world that means nothing without thousands of hours of practicing, listening and thinking about music, etc, etc. Most prodigies actually mostly efficient learners or just lucky, but if you're smart, practice and have proper teachers, you can do the same thing even Mozart did
@@gon9684 ..no that's like saying anyone can be a genius. You just have to think and study all the time. Some brains just don't wear out as fast. They can keep on assimilating information easier and a larger amount without wearing out. This is a born trait you can not learn ... sure they have to do the learning of the information but they absorb and understand much faster and a much greater amount of information at a faster pace without tiring the brain out.
It is paramount to understand how much Mozart is Paramount
I'd be interested to hear one of these "GOAT" videos focused on Franz Schubert.
Doesn't deserve it.
@@adig2414 How do you figure? He composed great musical works at an age when Beethoven was still taking music lessons and hadn't composed a single symphony. He died when he was only 31 but left an enormous amount of amazing music. Do you have any idea what you are talking about? If Schubert had lived only a decade longer he would have eclipsed both Beethoven and Mozart.
@@yohannbiimu His music is grossly repetitive, lingers on the exact same harmony for bars at a time, has very little development, abuses inane sequences of arpeggios like some sort of early-romantic Phillip Glass, displays total incompetence at counterpoint and has very little architecture to speak of. Dying at 31 alone doesn't make you great.
@@adig2414 Examples to cite?
A day without Mozart is wasted. His works enlights my days
Lovely video mate, but Mozart didn't live to 37. He died at 35.
Thanks for the correction, and even more staggering! Schubert's death at 31 also blows the mind.
Arriaga, the Spanish Mozart died at almost 20 years.
@@enjoyclassicalmusic6006 Pergolesi 26, Purcell 35 y. o. ..two great composers.... but Mozart is Mozart...
mendy and chopin died pretty early too
@@massimob.6945 Pergolesi may be the saddest. Soo much potential:(
Thanks. You made a strong case for Mozart’s greatness but didn’t argue convincingly that he is the greatEST and I’m not sure it’s provable. His music does more for me than anyone else’s so for me he’s the greatest - but at this level of genius I don’t think the likes of Bach, Schubert, Mozart and others can be ranked in absolute terms.
Mozart explored convincingly all aspects of the human condition and made it excruciatingly beautiful at the same tome. As Rothko once said about him "smiling through the tears".
Harold Schoenberg put it best: "The little man from Salzburg was a miracle. More protean than Bach, musically more aristocratic than Beethoven, he can be put forward as the most perfect, best equipped, and most natural musician the World has ever know." I might not have this exactly right, but close enough. I've often thought though, what Mozart would have made of Beethoven's Eroica Symphony. He surely would have been in the audience for the premiere had he lived that long. And I have no doubt he would have been very impressed by what he heard, and would have realized he had to up his game. Still, this does not, for me, change his place as the greatest musician the World has ever heard.
Mozart is my jam! Rock me Amadeus!!!
Without doubt !
Mozart died at 35, in his 36th year of living.
...not to mention his overlooked sacred music, his many masses and litanies...
The map omitted Mozart living in Vienna and the 3 travels to Italy with his father.
23 string quartets, not 18.
Thanks for the correction, and again even MORE impressive!
Don Giovanni has a scene featuring different dances played by the orchestra at the same time!
Actually, he was 35 when he died, not 37...
Agreed that Mozart is among the best musicians and composers that has ever existed.
But Mozart did definitely "recycle" themes and motifs, as so many others. And nothing wrong with that, but he also used small themes from others, and some of his very iconic themes were used in other works as well. Especially in his operas.
Beethoven did the same, Haydn too and so on and so forth. They probably did it, because they knew that it was too good to be left out, which I can only agree with.
But anyway, I'm just saying that not every single bit of his (or the other greats) music was a brand new idea, never seen before. Themes came and went, throughout their musical career. Sometimes in more subtle ways than other times.
His first piece, a minuet for harpsichord or piano, is actually very interesting. His father probably helped him to write it down, which MAY have changed it or at least corrected any mistakes (if there were any?)
What was the last song? I searched seraglio es lebe die libe and found nothing
I gave Mozart all the theandric tribute he deserves in my poem: "Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart "!; by Obu UDEOZO
So much wrong with this video… Mozart composed 22 operas (not 12), he was 35 (nearly 36) when he died, not 37… etc…, but… there is also so much right… he was/is one of the greats for all of time
1:12 first and only drafts
(Handel)
he was 35 when he died. well 35 and 10 months but still.
I guess if mozart is the goat bach is out of competition
Magic Flute is not really a comedy, it is his most profound opera.
I would say Le nozze de Figaro and Don Giovanni are deeper.
"This is his first symphony. Composed when he was eight." I wonder if anyone ever told him that nobody likes a smart-arse.
I adore Mozart but not even him could take from Bach the GOAT crown.
He wasn't 37 but 35 when he died.
My fave is Chopin , then Thaikovsky then Mozart , then Bach , then Brahms ..... sorry dont roast me
Both Mozart and Beethoven are nothing without HAYDN. I hate people who do not realize it! Haydn's symphonies and string quartets are monumental works, which laid the foundation of the SONATA form of classical music. He is the GREATEST forgotten classical period composer that ever lived. Mozart could not write a decent string quartet without Haydn's help. Mozart had to play string quartets with JB Vanhal, C Dittersdorf, and HAYDN, before he mastered this form of music. Mozart just built on what Haydn started. Mozart's "Haydn String Quartets" were dedicated to Papa Haydn as a token of appreciation. I will stack up Haydn's Opus 33, 50, 54, 64, 71, 74, and especially his 76 string quartets against anything written by Mozart. To be fair, Mozart excelled at everything Haydn did not and Haydn excelled at everything Mozart did not. They were the perfect complement. On the other hand, Beethoven changed music. That's a different story.
In my opinion Haydn is better than Mozart only when we talk about string quartets, but symphonys, sonatas, concertos, operas, fugues, masses, arias, divetimentos, serenades (lol, just everything), Mozart was a way better, and he lived just 35, that’s crazy
Maybe some of his string works could beat Haydn’s, like the famous Eine Kleine, he has masterpieces in all styles lol.
Serenades - Gran Partita
Ópera - magic flute, figaro, don Giovanni, la cosi fan tutte
Sonata - ala turca and sonata facile
Concerto - flute and harp, concerto piano no 10 and 20 (Beethoven’s favorite), violin concerto no 3 and 4
Masses - great mass in c minor and the requiem
String quartet - the Haydn one
Symphonys - 25 and 40
Choral songs - Ave verum corpus
Some of these masterpieces (famous), was written by a 17 years old Mozart (symphony no 25), 19 (the concertos for violin)
Im sure he has more masterpieces that I can’t remember
@@daviribeiro8325 The "Eine Kleine Nacht...." is a Serenade and NOT a string quartet. Ok, over time, it has been transcribed to a string quartet, but it was NEVER written by Mozart as a string quartet! So, you can't include it, and then use as a comparative work to Haydn. It's happy and gay, but not serious...
@@chrisvershaw2792 Ok, so Mozart is better composer of operas, sonatas, arias, masses, serenades, concertos (for violin, piano, oboe and flute), symphony (yes Haydn is the father of the symphonys but this don’t mean that he made better symphonys, the symphony 25 of Mozart composed by a 17 years old boy is better than any Haydn symphony), preludes, fugues and others.
But Haydn may be better than Mozart in the string quartets. I still prefer Mozart.
@@chrisvershaw2792 I know you like Haydn, but sorry Mozart is a better composer at all, that’s why Mozart is so famous, he is one of the greatest, Haydn was really good yes, but you can’t compare unfortunately, if was Bach okay, even Beethoven, but talking about Haydn lol
Mozart is a honorable Second place after the binomy Beethoven/Bach.
Bach yes. Beethoven was an annoying drama queen while Mozart and sets you in bliss.
@@hortleberrycircusbround9678Agreed lol
@@hortleberrycircusbround9678 Bach is execrably overrated. He had no sense of rhythm whatsoever, and he was by far the last structurally imaginative of the three. Beyond a mastery of counterpoint (that composers like Palestrina, Byrd, Tallis and Mozart could rival), literally what does the guy have going for him? His vertical harmony is pretty standard circle of fifths stuff with very few exceptions.
@@adig2414 bryd or tallis? That's maggot music in comparison
@@hortleberrycircusbround9678 The intricacies and glory of modal harmony being too much for your mind to take is unfortunate, but not an actual argument.
He has some serious competition coming along in the form of Alma Deutscher.
Bach is the GOAT
Mozart is 2nd place. Bach is definitely numero uno.
Look at it this way, if you don't buy Schoenberg's comment I cited above: Mozart could do everything Bach could do, and at the same vertiginous level of quality, but Bach could not and did not do all that Mozart did in music. Plus, while I love Bach, his relentless profundity can be a slog sometimes. Whereas, no matter how profound Mozart gets (think String Quartet K. 464, or the g-minor String Quintet or the c-minor Piano Concerto as obvious examples of this) he's never a slog.
I would still rate the magnificent invention of Bach as great than the work of Mozart.
There is very little inventive about Bach. Mozart was objectively more innovative.
No one grips me like Bach. Mozart has just the requiem for him. The rest bores me I don't get how people are head over heels for him.
I guess it is a matter of taste, as they say. I never liked Mozart until late in my life and am only coming around to liking, and sometimes loving, opera. So, there you go! Sick of Beethoven; loved him as a teenager. Also prefer Austrian, French, and Russian composers over German ones these days.
Cause you don't understand him
Because you don’t listen Mozart lol, so you will not be able to understand him
I had the same felling (I was a Mahler addicted lol), I swear, and then i started to just listen, my start was with piano concerto no 20 (Beethoven’s favorite), so I could finally understand him, he is the best
lol he also has Mass in C Minor, Don Giovanni, Piano Concertos No. 20, 22, 23, 24, Fantasia in C Minor K. 475, Fantasia in F Minor K.608. These are all comparable to the Requiem.
Mozart died of the age of 35, not 37.
There are several mistakes in this video. Please do better research when making these.
Mozart is amazing but let’s be real: the correct answer is Bach
Hmmm, might need to check out my Bach Goat video...
Mozart is technically great, harmonic but the most boring of all composers
I disagree. Beethoven is more boring, longwinded and too pompous.
@@Ziad3195 Lol I'd love to see you try sitting through Mahler.
@@adig2414 I like Mahler.
I really feel sorry for you if that's truly what you feel about his work.
mozart isn't really an intellectual, that's prob why I can't get into his music
His music is the best
You simply listened the requeim and some symphonys I guess, may I suggest you the piano concerto no 20
@@daviribeiro8325 or 20-25 are all masterpieces
@dlelllfkdlelel5459 why does everyone ignore piano concerti before 20? Listen to his 9th..
@@Ziad3195his agreed, 9th is amazing. So is his 5th, 10th, 17th, 19th.
