Piano Concerto No 21 in Cmaj...I was 11yrs old...changed my life it did.
My "go to" composer. A day without Mozart is a day wasted
Mine is Beethoven
I am now 78 years of age and out my draw full of CDs , I am choosing MOZART to play , the more as I get older . if I was left with just the one composer, it would have to be MOZART !
Me too, I'm 47. Only composer I really want to listen to.
Oct22,2024 ... Mozart has locked himself into the position of "greatest composer of music" the world will ever see. The more I listen and think about him and what he must have been thinking as he wrote particular composition pieces, the more sure I am that God specifically established for humankind a demonstrable example, a shining glimpse, of the soaring creativity of which humans are capable.
W.A.Mozart is my favorite of classical composers. Few pieces lift my mood like Eine Kline Nachtmusik. "Emotional depth" does not always mean tear-jerking, heavy, or drama-filled. Happiness is an emotion. Joy is an emotion. Delight is an emotion. Mozart's music (I am not as familiar with his operas) is deeply filled with these positive emotions. Would he have eclipsed Beethoven? Possibly. It would depend on how popular tastes evolved. But the fact that Mozart was able to write music that made people smile, made people laugh, in spite of everything he went through, ranks him at number one in my classical music library. There have been other composers since that time that are equally brilliant (looking at you, John Williams), but nobody surpasses.
Mozart easily eclipsed Beethoven, Beethoven was nowhere near Mozart's league and Beethoven constantly admitted so much. And you are missing out on Mozart's operas.
I agree that Mozart is in a class by himself. Nevertheless, Beethoven is in a whole school by himself, by which I don't mean to suggest that he is better than Mozart, but rather that he infused music with an entirely new spirit. It's there from those first two chords in the Eroica, the Fifth Symphony, the Sixth, the late quartets, and on and on. You can mistake Mozart for Haydn, but Beethoven is Beethoven.

Mozart was second to no one.
A very enlightening and comprehensive documentry on Mozarts life from child prodigy to grown man. Enjoyed this video very much. Mozart has been and will be one of my favorite composers of all time. As far as comparing him to other composers I wouldn't say who was better. They all gave us such beautiful music to enjoy and their accomplishments and differences should be applauded not comparing who's better but rather appreciate that we have their music to listen to today , expressing our appreciation for their incredible works. Thank you for this video on Mozart. ❤
Mozart was the greatest composer of all time. His music writing was dictated by what the public like to hear as he had to please them to survive not having steady employment and basically the first “professional”
Musician. The fact that toward the end of his career he began to compose for himself and not a commission by noblemen he 1:10:07 began to display his incredible talent. The fact that Symphonies 39,40 and 41 were written in an incredibly short span of time all the while completing Don Giovanni, the Magic Flute, several concert arias, and parts of one of the truly greatest works the Requiem is astounding. No other composer came close to what his brain could do, not even Beethoven who took 6 or more months to compose a symphony. I think trying to compare them is apple to oranges. Even Mozart’s piano was smaller allowing him less depth of range when composing. Beethoven could compose being less dependent on what the public liked than Mozart. Both men were gifts from God but I can tell you that when I hear Mozart’s music it’s like no other the emotions it stirs in me and millions of Mozart lovers all over the world.
Many composers could write music of the highest quality at incredible speed, it’s really nothing special so it’s misleading to highlight Mozart as though he was unique; search lots of Rossini (‘…four minutes to write an aria, as long as it takes to boil my rice’), or Handel’s Opus 6 concerti grossi, or completing Messiah in just 24 days are other examples.
Mozart is the all time best. Beethoven and others are wonderful, but Mozart is in a class of his own.
none before or after had been his equal let alone superior........a comet that lighted the sky
Beethoven... 😍👍🏻🎼🎻🎶🇩🇪
@@emiledarraghbarry Beethoven wanted to be mentored by Mozart but his passing spoiled that.
great composer but none can match Mozart
@@efibrilovski6374 Beethoven is even greater. 🎵 They're the top 2, ever. 🇩🇪
I think the Yutube channel History Buffs made a great comparison with Mozart and Micheal Jackson. Both were musical protegees who started their musical carriers at young ages (mostly due to their parents insistence) went on to have great success but later in life exhibited childlike behavior due to not being able to have experienced having a childhood when they were children.
I saw that! It was in his review of Amadeus - a historically accurate film!
Hee hee 😢
It should be Prince mentioned. He is the Mondern Day Mozart.
Childhood in the 18th and 20th centuries were very different. Curious how they approached this comparison. Childhood in different social circles in the 18th century was significantly different as well. And the Mozart family by all means were not wealthy. And having to make a living as early as possible would have been pivotal for the family.
According to the contemporaries Mozart was quite a well rounded young man, fitting well into the surrounding him society. Life of any party, but he didn’t seem to be in any way similar to the seriously affected mental health and behaviors of MJ.
As much is available about both of men’s formative years and their further personal characteristics and behaviors - they had nothing in common other than their respective deep musical talents.
Hahaha.....What a joke comparing pop stars to the greatest musical genius to ever grace the solar system. There was more musical talent in Mozart's pinky at age 3 than MJ and Prince at ther prime combined.
Mozart is my favorite for sure.
Mozart was buried in a common grave at St. Marx Cemetery in Vienna, Austria, on December 7, 1791. Contrary to popular belief, this was not a pauper's grave, nor was it an unusual practice for his time. In 18th-century Vienna, common graves were typically used for middle-class burials, as only the very wealthy could afford private or family graves.
Mozart’s grave was unmarked, which was also typical for common graves. As a result, the exact location of his burial site was lost over time. St. Marx Cemetery later added a memorial at what is believed to be the general area of his grave, honoring him as one of history’s greatest composers. Today, a monument stands there, serving as a symbolic tribute rather than an exact grave marker.
This is an excellent video comprising the life and times of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. In my opinion, and I think shared by many... Mozart reached the Pinnacle of the classical form. And had he lived longer, I believe he was already transitioning into the more melodic/ romantic style as expressed by Beethoven et al Listen to The passion and depth of expression in Mozart's Masonic Funeral Music, a piece that conveys both the sadness of loss and the brightness of the future to come with one single positive Major cord at the end. He was clearly transitioning into the more romantic era of classical music, and I think he would have been acclaimed in both classical genres, had he lived beyond his 35 years. His is an astonishing output and the world is blessed to have received his gift.
I think he was the one who gave the happiest music from all...his early demise prevents us from his full potential...so second to non just a pillar like all the greats!
Agreed!
I believe Mozart to he the greatest and yes had he lived longer l can only imagine what this genius of a man would have left us musically speaking. One of my most admired composers taken away from us far too soon❤❤
With what is known about the symptoms regarding his death, It seems to me that it was alcohol related . He was in adult society at such a young age and was probably introduced to wine etc. at an age when the internal organs are not fully developed, so susceptible to liver disease etc. There are a lot of cases of liver disease in young people these days , as young as 20 years old , who started drinking alcohol as young as 12 , but that is still only 8 years of drinking , Just a thought !
i love this channel already! 😊 very in depth and explained simply.
I read the following in an article on creativity: "" All child prodigies remain a child throughout"".
Bedankt
Im a pianist of 19 years and have mozart's signature on top of my right hand as a tattoo ,, he was a genius, and definitely autistic like me 🎹🎼🎹
???
Lol, nothing shows him as autistic except the Amadeus film.
I don’t think you are qualified to make that assumption. Not every person who is different is autistic.
I don’t think he was autistic. Socially awkward maybe, because he was deprived of a normal childhood and didn’t interact with other kids his age or have normal schooling with kids his age because his dad had him traveling around. But I don’t think he was autistic. He was talented in music and went out of his way to interact with nobility to get commissions and was able hit on the girls he liked .
I really love Mozart’s music. I think we do no favours to compare him with Beethoven or anyone else.
Mozart was probably the greatest musician of all time..His works teem with professional amazement. In the G-Minor Symphony there is a wild atonal sounding passage for four measures that contains every one of the 12 chromatic tones except G, and which would easily pass as 20th century music.Mozart was a composer who continually sought out new tonal possibilities in music and was brave enough to experiment with them. The tragedy of child prodigies is that “once you reach the gawky stage, they drop you” as Charlie Chaplin observed. Therefore when you become an artist in adult life, people will not take you seriously.. Many child performers in Show Business have suffered the same fate. Though Beethoven is my king of music, I consider Mozart to be in a class by himself. So much can be learned about skill and melodic expression by just hearing his work. He was a musical genius.
I don't think he would consider having his work used as a ringtone on a device centuries after the fact debasement. I think he would be tickled by it.
Especially if he were alive, to collect the royalties.😂
Definitely. He was never precious or stuck up... Quite the opposite by all accounts which riled his contemporaries no end.
I agree. I think he would be flattered by it.
He did not use the name “Amadeus” unless he was jokingly using mock Latin. He went by the French “Amade’

Excellent documentary. Much info I didn't know. Well donel
Great documentary.
Such an interesting history nice one
I love Mozart❤️🔥🌟He is definitely my favourite❣️✨🥰
So excited about this one... Please do my distant ancestor J.S Bach next ... Much appreciated...
😮 my god, is it really true? What an ancestor to have!
Indeed true , from my mother's side & very proud of it but with humility. However loyal to my ancestor , Beethoven is my personal favorite... Hopefully my ancestor doesn't take it too serious 😅
@KALIN-34 Bach is my favourite. I find his music singular and soulful.
@@barbaraladouceur6305Certainly an accurate way to describe your favourite composer 😊... I appreciate Bach for his unique talents but to be fair all were blessed in their own way... Hopefully ancestor Bach doesn't know that my favourite is Beethoven...
I ONLY WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE WHERE HE WAS PERFORMING HIS GREATEST MUSIC 😀.
His sister also a child prodigy,unfortunately his father paid little attention to her.
So true. She was a musical genius in her own right but shot down because she was a girl. See the excellent movie " Mozarts sister". ( in French with subtitles )
It upsets me that there were very few women composers until the modern day because women had to get married and have kids. In Nannerl’s honor, I had no kids. (I’m kidding, it had nothing to do with her.) I’d love to know more about her.
@@Neevie-Styx There were plenty of women composers (painters, sculptors, writers, philosophers...) who knew tremendous success in their time. Only men have decided for a very long time what was worth preserving and teaching.
Would love to see a documentary about Antonio Salieri.. ❤
The movie tarnished his name as a lot of people actually believed Salieri caused Mozarts demise.
Salieri was quite a mover and shaker in his life (especially in his teens and 20s) …. Worked and tutored under Gassmann…Also worked with Hasse and Gluck while being paid to work at the Italian opera and sing a couple nights a week with Emperor Joseph II. Later in his 30s, he worked with Haydn and Mozart and became Kapellmeister for the Imperial Court in Vienna. As he aged his operatic works became dated (he was rather conservative in style) and he was overshadowed by Mozart. He went on to teach dozens of fantastic musicians in vocal composition. Among them, Beethoven, Winter, Schubert, Mocheles, Liszt, Meyerbeer, Czerny and others!
❤❤❤❤❤ 😊😊😊 Thanks!
So the most important thing about Mozart is that he was a child prodigy? What a strange thing to emphasize. He was so much more.
Imagine a world without classical music.
No, imagine a world without Mozart!!
Mozart is definitely the best composer of all time
Mozart is the best
I was under the impression that Mozart was not given a burial.
He died penniless and was placed in an unmarked grave.
July 28 2024.
We were taught that he had a simple, unmarked, common grave as that the was the legal requirement at the time. Plague and all. If you were a King or Pope you got "the works", everyone else got a simple, unmarked, "get it done" sort of burial. Normal for the middle class of the time. Again: Plague. Fun times.
@@patriciagodfrey6345 THANK YOU. LONG LIVE MOZART. JULY 30 2024.
True, but he was reburied a few years later.
Musical genius
GOAT of music
😂😂 nah look up blind tom wiggins, black excellence vs whiite mediocrity 😂
@@mussiedebrezion8198no
Great narrative... Tq.
With no doubt to be had or heard, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was, is and probably will be recognized as the greatest composer ever to grace this planet.
lewat aturan hidup murni 💯......mozart nama lain isa a.s. islamnya nabi......... dikarenakan takut di pasan (di salib) sipenulis buku mozart......VERDYZ LUCA AZETHY merubahnya...........didalamnya menceritakan keadaan rumah MOZART......😊😊
I do not know which was "greater", yet I like the lightheartedness of Mozart over Beethoven.
Thanks For this Guys! Love your content!❤❤❤😊😊
The greatest genius in human history, according to some.
Thanks for this amazing episode!
the Jimi Hendrix of classical!..🥲
My favorite story is how Mozart got Allegri’s “Miserere” out for the public to hear by transcribing it after hearing it only once at the Vatican. 😋
One usually doesn't think that Mozart and George Washington were contemporaries...
21:37 proceeds to show Liebestraum S. 541 No. 3 in A♭ Major by Franz Liszt 😃
Really interesting
This is a good one.
I think Mozart would have kept up with keyboard technology & been a good college to Beethoven ,, 😊❤❤😊,
Mozart was not given a job as Court Kapellmeister on 7 December 1787; he was a Kammer Kompositeur -- a chamber composer. He had very little work to do; compose a few court dances. "Too little for what I could do," he commented. Also, Leopold Mozart & Mozart's sister, Nannerl, never accepted Constanze into their family; they hated her for supposedly, taking Mozart's salary away from them. The hostility continued until Leopold's death in 1787. It was only years later, when Constanze lived in Salzburg near the blind & ailing Nannerl, that they resolved their differences. Nannerl loved Constanze's youngest son, Wolfgang Xaver Mozart.
I didn’t know Mozart wrote jazz charts.
Mozart has a very brilliant young pupil to whom Mozart provided him with board and lodge. His name is Johann Nepomuk Hummel who is a contemporary and close friend of Beethoven.
That one guy at the opera: "Boogie Boogie Boogie!"
Magnus is a mozart of chess.
Please make a video about Jane Austen and the Bronte Sisters
WOW Fantastic ❤
My mom loves Mozart and Beethoven music 🎶
Vivat Herr W.A. Mozart !
Child Wolfgang would be a RUclips sensation
I've been waiting for this one. 🎶 💖
I know OF Mozart,and who doesn't? But when you describe his works, especially his most famous works, it seems to me that we'd be better served if you'd ACTUALLY play some of it,so we could understand more clearly about how he sounded. I hear background music,but nothing that demonstrates to me how great he was.
The GOAT
He was one of the greatest composers. I especially love the song that is playing at marker 1:07:47. (I think) Please tell me the name of it, someone. I’ve been trying to find it for years.
And I saw “The marriage of Figaro” once and I loved it! And I’d love to see it many more times!
Eine Kleine Nachtmusik
Best ever
Mozart never called himself Amadeus, he usually used Amadeo.
Anyone who ascribes the greatest classical composer to Beethoven simply does not understand Music - among most of those who have made the study of music their life, Mozart firmly holds that acclaim - of course, Beethoven was great who build boldly on the fertile ground that the genius of music - Mozart - had established.
As a distant descendant of Bach I'm aware of this quote 😅.. Thank you for recognising my ancestor. I'd love to see a similar documentary on J.S.. He essentially dedicated all his works to the glory of God..
And essentially created music...
He was the greatest.
rsonallylove mozarts music it ishealing and I prefer to Beethoven whom I likeas well Mozart always puts me ino a great mood signed irene
Wolfgang sounds so gangster
That last certainly statement provoked a response. Seems odd to reveal so much detail about Mozart & then compare his work to Beethoven as if they were both brick layers, but of a shame after all that.
Second to Beethoven?! I think not!
yesus hOmes......2 home ❤❤❤❤❤mozart keizerh.....
I think Mozart was better than Beethoven. Because if you listen to his music, you can hear Mozart music.
Beethoven love mozart
Please do Otto Von Bismark
Mozart GOAT
Some people are just born with an understanding of things. My friend forexample who love anything car/motor related drove a car better then most adults when we took our parents car when we were 11 years old.
Or at that age, he was so narcissistic that he thought he knew so much!😊
@@WVgrl59? I was in the car with him. And he drove better then most adults i have ever driven with.
@@WVgrl59 he even tought me to drive at 11 years old. He was shifting the gears for me wile i was stearing. He is a genius with car and motors
@@WVgrl59 total understanding and controll over the car,. the most safe i have ever felt in a car at 11 years old!

A video on Wilhelm II would be very interesting!!!
Eine kleine nacht musik has 4 movements, not 3.
u have to do Mehmed ii !!
I am partial to Puccini as the greatest.
I don’t think there will be many like Mozart.
Many? There will never be a musican with his talent ever again.
@@rman52yes blind tom wiggins 😂 , a blind person beat your clown moxart😂 with one hand tied
I recommend watching Amadeus. Although it could never fully address his life, it was a wonderful movie! Mozart still rocks!
Beethoven is by far the greatest!❤❤
Beethoven is a revolutionary. Mozart brought the classical tradition to its peak like his contemporary Joseph Haydn.
Second only to Bach
Wolfman Jack!
This man was so talented. Yet also a riot 💩💩💩💩
👏👏👏👏👏👏
To even dare to compare Mozart with Beethoven - or to think Beethovens music would have more emotional depth - only shows how little the makers of this video do understand about Mozart in particular or about Music itself in general. What a joke.
Subjective
Both are immensely great, but beethoven went beyond.
200yrs later his genious had he lived longer whould haved eclipsed beethoven.both the best of there age
Mozart naturally, would have been an equal of Beethoven, had he lived, as would a Schubert have been. Extreme geniuses, chosen so by God´s angels for us.
"Second only to Beethoven"...ummm excuse me, what about Bach? What's that quote, "Mozart was a genius, but Bach was a god."?
No one knew about Bach , until after he died.
Beethoven had more singles go platinum back then.
but bach is by far not as nice to listen to. But yes his works were groundbreaking.
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of Mozart. His operas are wonderful and he had a great facility for writing Arias for his favorite singers. He had a great ability for melodies and could come up with more than almost any composer. His father was overbearing and his childhood was difficult inspite of his many royal patrons. The trips from place to place were cold and miserable. Still he seemed to have a remarkable ability to be joyful. It seems that his marriage to Constanza was a good one. He was a remarkable composer. I am not as drawn to composers of the Classical Period, namely Hayden and Mozart. I believe that Beethoven was a bridge between Classical and Romantic Music. I can enjoy the musicality of Mozart's music, but personally, I like Beethoven's work more.
Mozart was a melodist that held the breath of heaven in rapture . Where as Beethoven wrote in cinemascope; big, wide and milticoloured vast andscapes.... Each genius showed their differance in the light of their similitude
before there was mozat -- there was the GREAT JOSEPH BOLOGNE CHEVALIER DE SAINT-GEORGES !
