0:00 Janus-faced D minor arpeggios, Bach and Romanticism
1:00 E.T.A. Hoffmann. Aria & sighing appoggiaturas.
2:06 Terrifying cadenzas. Improvisation. opera Buffa & Seria mash-up.
3:47 Unfinished! The bad (published) ending and my new ending.
5:12 Mozart's D minor Fantasia (completed by M King) with animated commentary
In this video, Matthew King discusses Mozart’s famous unfinished Fantasia in D minor K.397 which Mozart composed (and abandoned) in the frenziedly busy year of 1782, shortly after he had arrived in Vienna as a freelance musician. The piece is fascinating as an indicator of Mozart’s dramatic style of improvisation, and it also reveals how his operatic genius influenced his creative work. Matthew King views the music as a Janus-faced bridge between older styles (exemplified by J.S. and C.P.E. Bach) and early Romanticism, which the music seems to prefigure. The video concludes with an animated commentary of the fantasia, played on a fortepiano by Matthew King, who has composed a new conclusion for the piece to replace the original one by August Müller that he feels is...just wrong!
