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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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❤❤
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 😅
@@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...
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.
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 )
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.
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 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.
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..
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!
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.
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.
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
Narrator: What on earth is that accent you’ve concocted? It is neither British or “Shakespearian” nor anything representing a country or culture. Your affectation is more like an SNL skit where stage English is used to parody upper British narration. Odd.
I wouldn’t say Mozart is the greatest child prodigy in history. I’d say he’s the most famous, mostly because he had a slave-driver of a father who wanted to monetize little Mozart for all he was worth. So he toured child Mozart and his sister around the great courts of Europe for years, like an over-glorified organ grinder with two small, trained monkeys. Poor Mozart lost a childhood because of that horrible, awful man. The greatest child prodigy ever was probably JS Bach. He didn’t have a slave-driver of a father; this man allowed his son to be a normal kid with a childhood. So his genius was not advertised all over Europe. Child Bach stayed in his little German town, obscure and unknown. But if you get a gander at the stuff Bach wrote at 16 or 17, he was light years ahead of Mozart at that same age. Just in terms of musicality and complexity, teenage Bach was in a league of his own, writing fugues that are incredible. Which indicates that between the ages of 5 and 10 Bach must’ve been almost alien-like in his musical genius.
Wolfgang was a trouble maker, Should have done what he was told, Music would have happened without him, Proving everyone inadequate,, what an upstart,, Many people put out of work due to the smug upstart.

Hee hee 😢
It should be Prince mentioned. He is the Mondern Day Mozart.

great composer but none can match Mozart
@@efibrilovski6374 Beethoven is even greater. 🎵 They're the top 2, ever. 🇩🇪
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.
Mozart is the all time best. Beethoven and others are wonderful, but Mozart is in a class of his own.
I really love Mozart’s music. I think we do no favours to compare him with Beethoven or anyone else.
i love this channel already! 😊 very in depth and explained simply.
Such an interesting history nice one
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!
Mozart is the best
He did not use the name “Amadeus” unless he was jokingly using mock Latin. He went by the French “Amade’
@Tolstoy1...
french Amédée with the accent on the preterminal é : AmédÉe
I read the following in an article on creativity: "" All child prodigies remain a child throughout"".
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.
The greatest genius in human history, according to some.
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❤❤
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.
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.

I was under the impression that Mozart was not given a burial.
He died penniless and was placed in an unmarked grave.

@@patriciagodfrey6345 THANK YOU. LONG LIVE MOZART. JULY 30 2024.
True, but he was reburied a few years later.
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 )
Musical genius
GOAT of music
😂😂 nah look up blind tom wiggins, black excellence vs whiite mediocrity 😂
@@mussiedebrezion8198no
Great documentary.
Mozart is definitely the best composer of all time
I do not know which was "greater", yet I like the lightheartedness of Mozart over Beethoven.
Excellent documentary. Much info I didn't know. Well donel

Imagine a world without classical music.
No, imagine a world without Mozart!!
One usually doesn't think that Mozart and George Washington were contemporaries...
Magnus is a mozart of chess.
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.
I didn’t know Mozart wrote jazz charts.
I ONLY WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE WHERE HE WAS PERFORMING HIS GREATEST MUSIC 😀.
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.
Please make a video about Jane Austen and the Bronte Sisters
This is a good one.
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.
I think Mozart was better than Beethoven. Because if you listen to his music, you can hear Mozart music.
Beethoven love mozart
Thanks for this amazing episode!

Really interesting
"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.
the Jimi Hendrix of classical!..🥲
Second to Beethoven?! I think not!
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...
Child Wolfgang would be a RUclips sensation
Mozart never called himself Amadeus, he usually used Amadeo.
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
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.

Beethoven is a revolutionary. Mozart brought the classical tradition to its peak like his contemporary Joseph Haydn.
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.

Mozart and Beethoven. were BLACK Composers. classical music was created by AFRICAN moors.
You must have mixed up with the Paris Opera director Chevalier de St George who is also a outstanding composer of the classical era !
@canman5060 Yea, I don't ever remember anyone anywhere referring to Mozart or Beethoveen as "black."
@canman5060 actually classical music has it's origin in black Africa
No they was not stop trying to bend history to your stupid narrative
@@hack5770 mozart was mediocre 🤣
I skipped through this. Mozart was obviously endowed with musical genius, but the less you know about him as a man the better.
I’m open to changing my mind, but to this point I prefer almost anything Beethoven to almost anything Mozart.
We’ll make a note.

comparing mozart is stupid , saying he is superior is even more stupid !!! to many brilliant composers are genius in their own right!!
i agree completely. ola huitfeldt karoliusssen
At best 2nd to Ludwig von
Beethoven said he owes a lot to Mozart and he was deeply sad about Mozart early death.
Beethoven made use of the opening theme from the first movement of Mozart great C minor Piano Concerto K 491 in his third piano concerto Op 37.
Wolfgang was a trouble maker,
Should have done what he was told,
Music would have happened without him,
Proving everyone inadequate,, what an upstart,,
Many people put out of work due to the smug upstart.
