Mozart - 3 German Dances, K. 605 [complete] Am4d3usM0z4rt 2012-05-01 | Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Three German Dances (Teutsche), K. 605, are a set of three dance pieces composed by Mozart in 1791. Most of Mozart's German Dances were written whilst he held the position of Kammermusicus (Imperial Chamber Composer) in Vienna. Mozart had been appointed to this position on the 1st December 1787 by Emperor Joseph II. The position was offered following the death of the former Kammermusicus, Christoph Willibald Gluck on 15 November 1787. In the position Mozart earned 800 Florins a year. One of the main obligations of his position was to write music for the court dances and balls that were held in the Redoutensaal (Public Ballrooms) of the Imperial Palace in Vienna. Mozart was an enthusiastic dancer, and produced many dance works, including ten sets of German dances. The first set was written in February 1787, before Mozart's appointment to Kammermusicus. The other sets, excluding K. 611, were written between December 1787 and 1791, during which Mozart also wrote well known pieces such as Symphonies 40 and 41, and his opera Così fan tutte. These were mostly written in sets of six, with one set of four and one of twelve. Mozart composed this set of three Teutsche (German Dances) in the early months of 1791. The three dances of K. 605 are usually listed with the six dances of K. 600 and the four of K. 602 as Dreizehn deutsche Tänze (Thirteen German Dances). The pieces first appear on 12 February 1791 on Mozart's List of all my Works, and are the penultimate set of German Dances that Mozart would compose before his death on 5 December 1791. The dances are scored for piccolo, two flutes, two oboes, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, timpani, violins I and II, violoncellos, and double basses. The third dance uniquely adds two posthorns and five sleigh bells tuned to C, E, F, G, and A (in ascending order). As the name "Three German Dances" suggests, this set of dances includes three individual dances. Each dance changes in instrumentation; only the violins play in all three dances. Each dance varies in character because of this, and each includes various features:-Dance 1: The first dance begins with a series of repeating phrases that have a rich texture and are emphasised by the violins. Small, light fanfares can be heard throughout the piece being played by the trumpets. At the end of the dance the main theme from the beginning of the dance is repeated in a characterful ending.-Dance 2: The main tune is once again played by the violins at the beginning, and this main tune is repeated, as is the next phrase. However, this repeat is played at a lower dynamic. The main tune then passes on to a characterful woodwind section. This is followed by an almost waltz-like phrase which has a clear, steady beat that could have easily been danced to.-Dance 3 Schlittenfahrt: This dance may have been written independently of the others, as it is very different in style. Schlittenfahrt means "Sleigh Ride"; the use of sleigh bells in the piece clearly emphasises this. Before the sleigh bells enter, there is a series of repeating phrases that pass between the trumpets, woodwind and violins. The topography of the dynamics of the tuned sleigh bells make the piece seem like a sleigh ride, as the dynamics rise and fall like a sleigh would over snow. This is followed by a beautiful but simple trumpet solo that gives a very peaceful and clear atmosphere to the piece, like a winter's day. The original repeating phrases then return, but end with a majestic fanfare from the trumpets that passes to the other instruments, then returns to the sleigh bells and trumpet solo again. The piece ends with a diminuendo of the trumpet solo.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------FREE .mp3 and .wav files of all Mozart's music at: http://www.mozart-archiv.de/FREE sheet music scores of any Mozart piece at: http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/start.php?l=2ALSO check out these cool sites: http://musopen.organd http://imslp.org/wiki-------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTE: I do not know who the performers of this are, nor the place and date of recording!!!

Mozart - Adagio and Fugue in C minor, K. 546 Am4d3usM0z4rt 2012-05-01 | Adagio and Fugue in C minor, K. 546, is a composition for strings by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, dated "Vienna, 26 June 1788". The fugue is a transcription of his Fugue in C minor for two pianos, K. 426, which he wrote in December 1783. The adagio, which was not part of K. 426, is written in the time signature of 3/4 time, the fugue in alla breve and its tempo designation is allegro. The work is scored for first and second violins, viola, and cello plus double bass. It is partly inspired by the contrapuntal style of Johann Sebastian Bach. The Bach background of the piece can be heard with the underlying dark intensity along with a gradual style change from the classicism of Mozart's time to a more Baroque style. Also, the fugue style of the piece reflects Bach's influence on Mozart. Mozart was introduced to the music of Bach and Handel in 1782 by his patron Gottfried van Swieten. Mozart had previously transcribed some of Bach's fugues for string quartet. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------FREE .mp3 and .wav files of all Mozart's music at: http://www.mozart-archiv.de/FREE sheet music scores of any Mozart piece at: http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/start.php?l=2ALSO check out these cool sites: http://musopen.organd http://imslp.org/wiki-------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTE: I do not know who the performers of this are, nor the place and date of recording!!!

Mozart - A Musical Joke, K. 522 [complete] (Ein musikalischer Spaß) Am4d3usM0z4rt 2012-05-01 | A Musical Joke (in German: Ein musikalischer Spaß) K. 522, (Divertimento for two horns and string quartet) is a composition by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; the composer entered it in his Verzeichnis aller meiner Werke ('Catalogue of all my Works') on June 14, 1787. The music is intentionally written to be funny, being liberally sprinkled with obtrusively clumsy, mechanical and over-repetitive composition, together with passages evidently designed to mimic the effects of inaccurate notation and inept performance. Commentators have opined that the piece's purpose is satirical—that "[its] harmonic and rhythmic gaffes serve to parody the work of incompetent composers" -- though Mozart himself is not known to have revealed his actual intentions.The piece consists of four movements, using forms shared with many other classical divertimenti:1. Allegro. (In sonata form)2. Menuetto and Trio.3. Adagio cantabile.4. Presto. (Sonata rondo form)Nevertheless, the music has potential to appeal to the average audience of that time as a comedy, including:-use of asymmetrical phrasing, or not phrasing by four measure groups, at the beginning of the first movement, which is very uncommon for the classical period,-use of secondary dominants where subdominant chords are just fair,-the use of discords in the French horns, satirizing the incompetence of the copyist, or the hornist grabbing the wrong crook,-use of a whole tone scale in the violinist's high register, probably to imitate the player's floundering at the high positions.The piece is also notable for the earliest known use of polytonality, creating the gesture of complete collapse with which the finale ends. This may be intended to produce the impression of grossly out-of-tune string playing, since the horns alone conclude in the movement's tonic key: the lower strings behave as if the tonic has suddenly become B flat, while the violins and violas switch to G major, A major and E flat major respectively. Some theorists believe that A Musical Joke is a parody of works by clumsy composers of Mozart's time. With such an assumption, one might find some points of the score humorous, such as the more elementary developments of the theme, where the poor composer might feel the agony that he/she had to proceed with the development. Other theorists disagree with that view, saying that perhaps Mozart used parody and comedy as an excuse to try things that at the time were not in practice; the piece would then be intended in a more serious tone than so advertised but only for the composer himself.The use of asymmetrical phrasing, whole-tone scales, and multitonality is quite foreign to music of the classical era. However, these techniques were later revisited by early 20th century composers like Claude Debussy and Igor Stravinsky, who were searching for a new musical language. In this later context, these conventions were seen as legitimate new techniques in serious music. In Mozart's time, however, these non-classical elements give the piece its comedy and express the composer's sense of musical humor.Ironically, A Musical Joke is the first piece entered in Mozart's list of works following the death of his father Leopold on May 28. The established English title A Musical Joke is a poor rendering of the German original: as Fritz Spiegl pointed out, 'Spaß' does not strongly connote the jocular—for which the word 'Scherz' would normally be required. In Spiegl's view, a more accurate translation would have been Some Musical Fun. Perpetuum mobile: Ein musikalischer Scherz op. 257, a polka by Johann Strauss II is likewise (and more correctly) translated as A Musical Joke. In a modernised version by Waldo de los Rios, the opening of the finale of A Musical Joke was used for many years as the theme tune to the BBC's Horse of the Year Show.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------FREE .mp3 and .wav files of all Mozart's music at: http://www.mozart-archiv.de/FREE sheet music scores of any Mozart piece at: http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/start.php?l=2ALSO check out these cool sites: http://musopen.organd http://imslp.org/wiki-------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTE: I do not know who the performers of this are, nor the place and date of recording!!!

Mozart - Masonic Funeral Music in C minor, K. 477 / K. 479a (Maurerische Trauermusik) Am4d3usM0z4rt 2012-05-01 | The Maurerische Trauermusik (or Masonic Funeral Music) in C minor, K. 477 (K. 479a), for orchestra, is a piece composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1785 in his capacity as a member of the Freemasons. According to Mozart's own catalogue, the piece was composed in July 1785. It was performed during a Masonic service held on 17 November 1785 in memory of two of Mozart's Masonic brethren, Duke Georg August of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and Count Franz Esterházy von Galántha, members of the Viennese aristocracy. The instrumental version of the Maurerische Trauermusik received its premiere later, in a concert on 9 December 1785.The Maurerische Trauermusik is unusual in other respects, including its use of the Gregorian chant tonus peregrinus, and its inclusion of the basset horn (the latter trait due to fellow Freemason Vincent Springer playing the instrument at the premiere). -----------------------------------------------------------------------------FREE .mp3 and .wav files of all Mozart's music at: http://www.mozart-archiv.de/FREE sheet music scores of any Mozart piece at: http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/start.php?l=2ALSO check out these cool sites: http://musopen.organd http://imslp.org/wiki-------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTE: I do not know who the performers of this are, nor the place and date of recording!!!

Mozart - Duo for Violin and Viola in G, K. 423 [complete] Am4d3usM0z4rt 2012-05-01 | Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's String Duo No. 1 in G major for violin and viola, K. 423, the first of the two Mozart wrote to complete Michael Haydn's set of six for the Archbishop Colloredo, was written in the summer of 1783. It is in three movements:1. Allegro, common time2. Adagio, C major, 3/43. Rondeau: Allegro, cut timeWhile both Mozart's and Haydn's duos give the viola lots of double stops, Mozart's duos differ in that the viola also gets many passages in sixteenths, almost in equal proportion to the violin. H. C. Robbins Landon notes in particular of K. 423 that Mozart had retained the knowledge he gained in writing the String Quartet in G major, K. 387 (the finale of which was in turn influenced by Haydn's Symphony No. 23). The set of six was presented as all Haydn's, and Colloredo was unable to "detect in them Mozart's obvious workmanship." By transposing the viola part an octave down and changing to bass clef, the piece is readily playable on cello. Werner Rainer edited such a transcription for Verlag Doblinger.The G major Duo is almost always paired with the B-flat major Duo, K. 424. The Hungaroton label has a 2-CD set of the Mozart and Haydn duos with Barnabas Kelemen and Katalin Kokas. The Avie label prefers to put Mozart's duos (played by Phillipe Graffin and Nobuko Imai) on a 2-CD set with other pieces by Mozart, such as the Violin Concerto in G, K. 216, and the Sinfonia Concertante in E-flat major, K. 364. The Odeum Guitar Duo has recorded a transcription of K. 423 for two guitars, available as an MP3 download for Pepsi points. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------FREE .mp3 and .wav files of all Mozart's music at: http://www.mozart-archiv.de/FREE sheet music scores of any Mozart piece at: http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/start.php?l=2ALSO check out these cool sites: http://musopen.organd http://imslp.org/wiki-------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTE: I do not know who the performers of this are, nor the place and date of recording!!!

Mozart - Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola and Orchestra in E flat, K. 364 / K. 320d [complete] Am4d3usM0z4rt 2012-05-01 | The Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola and Orchestra in E-flat major, K. 364 (320d), was written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.At the time of its composition in 1779, Mozart was on a tour of Europe that included Mannheim and Paris. The composition's complex orchestral dynamics reflects the increasing technical competence of the European orchestra of that era and was strongly influenced by Mozart's visit to the Mannheim court orchestra during his European tour of 1777 to 1779. Mozart had been experimenting with the sinfonia concertante genre and this work can be considered his most successful realization in this cross-over genre between symphony and concerto. The piece is scored in three movements for solo violin, solo viola, two oboes, two horns, and strings, the latter including two sections of violas.The solo viola part is written in D major instead of E flat major, and the instrument tuned a semitone sharper (scordatura technique), to give a more brilliant tone. This technique is uncommon when performed on the modern viola and is used mostly in performance on original instruments.It has also been arranged for cello in place of the viola part. I. Allegro maestoso, common timeII. Andante, 3/4, in C minorIII. Presto, 2/4This Sinfonia Concertante has influenced many arrangers to use these themes. In 1808 an uncredited arrangement of the piece for string sextet Grande Sestetto Concertante was published by Sigmund Anton Steiner. All six parts are divided equally among the six players; it is not presented as soloists with accompaniment.The opening two melodic phrases of "The Windmills of Your Mind," a song from the 1968 film The Thomas Crown Affair, were adopted from the opening of the second movement of the Sinfonia Concertante.The Sinfonia Concertante was mentioned in William Styron's 1979 novel Sophie's Choice; after a stranger molests Sophie on the subway, she hears the Sinfonia Concertante on the radio, which brings back memories of her childhood in Krakow and snaps her out of her depression.Variations on the slow second movement were used for the soundtrack to the 1988 Peter Greenaway film Drowning by Numbers by composer Michael Nyman. The original piece is also heard after each of the drownings in the screenplay.The American composer and bassist Edgar Meyer was so interested in this work that in 1995 he wrote a double concerto for double bass, cello and orchestra that, while very different in style, closely mirrors the structure of Mozart's Sinfonia concertante.The andante movement of this piece was featured in Nuri Bilge Ceylan's 2002 film Uzak. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------FREE .mp3 and .wav files of all Mozart's music at: http://www.mozart-archiv.de/FREE sheet music scores of any Mozart piece at: http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/start.php?l=2ALSO check out these cool sites: http://musopen.organd http://imslp.org/wiki-------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTE: I do not know who the performers of this are, nor the place and date of recording!!!

Mozart - Sinfonia Concertante for Four Winds in E flat, K. 297b / K. Anh. C 14.01 [complete] Am4d3usM0z4rt 2012-05-01 | The Sinfonia Concertante for Four Winds in E flat major, is a work thought to be by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, for oboe, clarinet, horn, bassoon, and orchestra, K. 297b (Anh. C 14.01). He originally wrote a work for flute, oboe, horn, bassoon, and orchestra, K Anh. 9 (279B), in Paris in April 1778. There is considerable dispute about the relation of the work as it is performed today to this original work. The Sinfonia Concertante is scored for solo oboe, solo clarinet, solo horn, solo bassoon, and an orchestra of two horns, two oboes, and strings. A typical performance lasts about 28 minutes. 1. Allegro, in common time. This movement is in sonata form with three expositions rather than two -- one played by the orchestra, the other two by the soloists. It contains a written cadenza before the coda.2. Adagio in common time, with "gentle exchanges of thematic material".3. Andante con variazioni, a theme with ten variations and a coda. Each variation is separated by "identical, basically decorative orchestral ritornelli". This movement is in 2/4 time until the end of the last variation, where 6 adagio bars in 6/8 time lead to a coda in common time. Mozart is known through letters and concert announcements to have written a sinfonia concertante for flute, oboe, horn, and bassoon, the original score of which is lost. There is considerable debate about the authenticity of what is performed today, and whether the extant piece is even related to the original work. Highly regarded scholars have conflicting opinions, and some say the composition is currently in a corrupt form. Stanley Sadie, for instance is dismissive. Alfred Einstein considered it genuine. Some have the opinion that it is inconceivable that Mozart wrote a homotonal concerto (i.e. with all three movements in the same key; here E-flat major). The Mozart Project considers this piece as "spurious or doubtful", and it does not appear on their listing of concertos. Mozart displayed affection and prominence for the wind instruments in his operas and concertos. Noteworthy wind passages are in the fifteenth and seventeenth piano concertos, with memorable dialogues with the soloist; flute, oboe and bassoon. In opera there are many arias with similar woodwind and French Horn passages, such as Fiordiligi's "Per pietà, ben mio, perdona" from Così fan tutte. Some authorities believe that these outstanding qualities are also displayed in this piece.The Sinfonia Concertante is popular today, and regularly performed. It is well regarded by professional musicians. Certain passages are of the highest quality, such as the coda of the first movement, which displays a rumbustious and thrilling finale. Robert Levin, who wrote an entire book about the piece, considers the orchestral part and the first movement cadenza to be spurious, and the soloists' role to have been modified by others from the original without having had the orchestral parts as reference. Levin has made a reconstruction of the original piece based on his research. It has been suggested that this piece has a recollective, even autumnal character. The writing for wind instruments here is of such quality that it is only surpassed by the later "Gran Partita" in B-flat major of 1781.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------FREE .mp3 and .wav files of all Mozart's music at: http://www.mozart-archiv.de/FREE sheet music scores of any Mozart piece at: http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/start.php?l=2ALSO check out these cool sites: http://musopen.organd http://imslp.org/wiki-------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTE: I do not know who the performers of this are, nor the place and date of recording!!!

Mozart - Violin Sonata No. 9 in C, K. 14 [complete] Am4d3usM0z4rt 2012-05-01 | Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's set of six sonatas for keyboard with accompaniment of violin or flute, K. 10-15 were composed in late 1764 in London during the Mozart family's grand tour of Europe. Queen Charlotte of the United Kingdom commissioned them on October 25 and the works were dedicated on January 18, 1765. They were published as Mozart's "Opus 3".Some manuscripts include an accompanying cello part where the cello part doubles principal notes in the left hand part of the keyboard. Because of this, there is some ambiguity as to whether to classify these pieces as violin sonatas, flute sonatas or keyboard trios. It is likely the works were influenced by a set of similarly scored sonatas (Op. 2) by Queen Charlotte's music teacher Johann Christian Bach ("The London Bach").

Mozart - Leck mich im Arsch - Canon in B flat for 6 Voices, K. 231 / K. 382c Am4d3usM0z4rt 2012-04-30 | Leck mich im Arsch (literally "Lick me in the arse") is a canon in B-flat major composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, K. 231 (K. 382c), with lyrics in German. It was one of a set of at least six canons probably written in Vienna in 1782. Sung by six voices as a three-part round, it is thought to be a party piece for his friends. A literal translation of the song's title and lyrics into English would be "Lick me in the arse". A more idiomatic translation would be "Kiss my arse!" Mozart died in 1791 and his widow, Constanze Mozart, sent the manuscripts of the canons to publishers Breitkopf & Härtel in 1799, saying that they would need to be adapted for publication. The publisher changed the title and lyrics of this canon to the more acceptable "Laßt froh uns sein" ("Let us be glad!"), similar to the traditional German Christmas carol, "Lasst uns froh und munter sein". Of Mozart's original text, only the first words were documented in Breitkopf publishers' catalogue of his works. A new text version, which may have been the authentic one, came to light in 1991. Handwritten texts to this and several other similar canons were found added to a printed score of the work in an historical printed edition acquired by Harvard University's Music Library. They had evidently been added to the book by a later hand. However, since in six of the pieces these entries matched texts that had, in the meantime, independently come to light in original manuscripts, it was hypothesised that the remaining three may, too, have been original, including texts for K. 231 ("Leck mich im Arsch" itself), and another Mozart work, "Leck mir den Arsch fein recht schön sauber" ("Lick my arse nice and clean", K. 233; K. 382d in the revised numbering). Later research has indicated that the latter composition is probably the work of Wenzel Trnka (1739--91). -----------------------------------------------------------------------------FREE .mp3 and .wav files of all Mozart's music at: http://www.mozart-archiv.de/FREE sheet music scores of any Mozart piece at: http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/start.php?l=2ALSO check out these cool sites: http://musopen.organd http://imslp.org/wiki-------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTE: I do not know who the performers of this are, nor the place and date of recording!!!

Mozart composed the aria in October 1765 while staying at The Hague during the family's British-European tour, when he was nine years old. Both of the Mozart children, Wolfgang and his sister Nannerl, were quite ill at the time. It was slightly revised in January 1766, possibly for a performance for Princess Carolina of Orange-Nassau. In his list of Wolfgang's works which he started in 1768 in Vienna, his father Leopold entered this piece as no. 2 of 15 Italian Arias, composed in London and The Hague (German: 15 Italiänische Arien theils in London, theils im Haag Componiert). The Newberry Library (Case MS 6A, 48), Chicago, acquired the manuscript (6 sheets, 11 pages) through a bequest of the opera singer Claire Dux --Mrs Charles H. Swift-- (1885--1967 in Chicago). It was previously owned by Raphael Georg Kiesewetter who gave the autograph to Aloys Fuchs as a gift. Both Fuchs and Abbé Maximilian Stadler confirmed its authenticity with their signatures on 7 December 1832. The Neue Mozart-Ausgabe also mentions an autograph (4 sheets, 7 pages) at the Bibliothèque nationale de France in its Malherbe collection. The text is taken from Metastasio's libretto Artaserse which had been set to music by a number of composers, among them Johann Christian Bach whom Mozart had met just a short time before in London. Metastasio's libretti have been set to music by a large number of composers. Mozart's largest work based on a Metastasio text was his last opera, La clemenza di Tito, as was his earlier Il re pastore. The work is scored for soprano, two violins, viola, cello and bass; the tempo marking is Andante grazioso, the time signature is 2/4 time, the key signature is A major. A typical performance would last for about 7 minutes.It is composed as a da capo aria (bars 1--86) with a short middle section ("Ch'io per virtù d'amore", bars 87--100) which has the tempo marking Allegretto and is in the parallel key of A minor. The aria consists almost wholly of two-bar phrases.After hearing this piece and "Va, dal furor portata" (K. 21) written by the nine year-old Mozart, Baron Grimm predicted that "the boy would have an opera performed in an Italian theatre before he was twelve". As it turned out, Mozart's first work for the stage, Die Schuldigkeit des ersten Gebots, was performed less than 18 month later, and his first work for an Italian theatre, Mitridate, re di Ponto, opened in Milan in 1770 when Mozart was 14 years old. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------FREE .mp3 and .wav files of all Mozart's music at: http://www.mozart-archiv.de/FREE sheet music scores of any Mozart piece at: http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/start.php?l=2ALSO check out these cool sites: http://musopen.organd http://imslp.org/wiki-------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTE: I do not know who the performers of this are, nor the place and date of recording!!!

Mozart - String Quintet No. 3 in C, K. 515 [complete] Am4d3usM0z4rt 2012-04-30 | The String Quintet No. 3 in C major, K. 515 was written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Like all of Mozart's string quintets, it is a "viola quintet" in that it is scored for string quartet and an extra viola (two violins, two violas and cello).The work was completed on April 19, 1787, less than a month before the completion of his stormy G Minor Quintet, K. 516. This would not be the last time that a great pair of C major/G minor works of the same form would be published in close proximity and assigned consecutive Köchel numbers. The following year, the 40th (G minor) and 41st (C major) symphonies would be completed within a few weeks of each other.This quintet inspired Schubert to write his own string quintet in the same key (his scoring involves two cellos rather than two violas as in Mozart's quintet). The opening theme of Schubert's work retained many of the characteristics of Mozart's opening theme, such as decorative turns, irregular phrase lengths, and rising staccato arpeggios (the latter appear only in Schubert's recapitulation). The work is in standard four movement form:I. AllegroII. AndanteIII. Menuetto: AllegrettoIV. AllegroThe first movement is massive in scope. Indeed, it is the largest "sonata-allegro" movement before Beethoven, usually taking about a quarter of an hour to perform. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------FREE .mp3 and .wav files of all Mozart's music at: http://www.mozart-archiv.de/FREE sheet music scores of any Mozart piece at: http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/start.php?l=2ALSO check out these cool sites: http://musopen.organd http://imslp.org/wiki-------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTE: I do not know who the performers of this are, nor the place and date of recording!!!

Mozart - Quintet for Piano and Winds in E flat, K. 452 [complete] Am4d3usM0z4rt 2012-04-30 | The Quintet in E flat major for Piano and Winds, K. 452, was completed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart on March 30, 1784 and premiered two days later at the Imperial and Royal National Court Theater in Vienna. Shortly after the premiere, Mozart wrote to his father that "I myself consider it to be the best thing I have written in my life." It is scored for piano, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon. There are three movements:1. Largo - Allegro moderato2. Larghetto3. AllegrettoThis structure closely resembles that of a typical sonata. The first movement is a sprightly sonata form Allegro, with themes being passed from instrument to instrument, usually with the piano introducing a theme and accompanying while the oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon play variations on it. The Larghetto movement is typical of the 2nd movement of other Mozart pieces: soft and gentle, yet still engaging. The Allegretto movement is a "sonata-rondo" of the kind Mozart used as the finale of many of the piano concertos he was writing at this period, and contains a written-out cadenza-like section toward the end.This piece was the inspiration for the Quintet in E flat for Piano and Winds, Op. 16, by Ludwig van Beethoven, who composed this tribute in 1796. Both compositions use the same scoring. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------FREE .mp3 and .wav files of all Mozart's music at: http://www.mozart-archiv.de/FREE sheet music scores of any Mozart piece at: http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/start.php?l=2ALSO check out these cool sites: http://musopen.organd http://imslp.org/wiki-------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTE: I do not know who the performers of this are, nor the place and date of recording!!!

Mozart - String Quartet No. 15 in D minor, K. 421 / K. 417b [complete] Am4d3usM0z4rt 2012-04-30 | Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's String Quartet No. 15 in D minor K. 421/417b, the second of the Quartets dedicated to Haydn and the only one of the set in a minor key, is believed to have been completed in 1783. The quartet is, however, undated in the autograph. It is in four movements:1. Allegro moderato2. Andante (F major)3. Menuetto and Trio (the latter in D major). Allegretto4. Allegretto ma non troppoThe first movement is characterized by a sharp contrast between the aperiodicity of the first subject group, characterized by Arnold Schoenberg as "prose-like," and the "wholly periodic" second subject group. In the Andante and the Minuet, "normal expectations of phraseology are confounded." The main part of the Minuet is in minuet sonata form, while "the contrasting major-mode Trio ... is ... almost embarrassingly lightweight on its own ... [but] makes a wonderful foil to the darker character of the Minuet." The last movement is a set of variations. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------FREE .mp3 and .wav files of all Mozart's music at: http://www.mozart-archiv.de/FREE sheet music scores of any Mozart piece at: http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/start.php?l=2ALSO check out these cool sites: http://musopen.organd http://imslp.org/wiki-------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTE: I do not know who the performers of this are, nor the place and date of recording!!!

The quartet is scored for oboe, violin, viola and cello. In 1780, Mozart was invited to Munich to visit Elector Karl Theodor, who had commissioned the opera Idomeneo for a carnival celebration. While in Munich, Mozart renewed an acquaintance with Friedrich Ramm, a virtuoso oboist in the Munich orchestra. It was for Ramm that Mozart composed the quartet. There are three movements:I.

Mozart - String Quintet No. 4 in G minor, K. 516 [complete] Am4d3usM0z4rt 2012-04-29 | The String Quintet No. 4 in G minor, K. 516 was written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Like all of Mozart's string quintets, it is a "viola quintet" in that it is scored for string quartet and an extra viola (two violins, two violas and cello).The work was completed on May 16, 1787, less than a month after the completion of his grand C Major Quintet, K. 515. This would not be the last time that a great pair of C major/G minor works of the same form would be published in close proximity and assigned consecutive Köchel numbers. The following year, the 40th (G minor) and 41st (C major) symphonies would be completed within a few weeks of each other.The mood of the piece is dark and melancholic, typical of Mozart's G minor works. The work is in four movements:I. AllegroII. Menuetto: AllegrettoIII. Adagio ma non troppoIV. Adagio - AllegroThe first movement is in sonata form with both the first and second themes beginning in G minor. The movement does not resolve to the major key in the recapitulation and has a minor-key ending.The minuet is placed second and is a minuet in name only as the turbulent G minor theme and heavy third-beat chords make this movement very undancelike. The central trio is in a bright G major.The third movement in E-flat major is slow, melancholic and wistful, furthering the despair brought forth by the previous movements. Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky said of this movement: "No one has ever known as well how to interpret so exquisitely in music the sense of resigned and inconsolable sorrow."The start of the fourth movement is not the typical quick-tempo finale, but a slow cavatina back in the home key of G minor. It is a dirge or lament that is even slower than the previous movement. The music wallows in this dark area for a few minutes before reaching an ominous pause. At this point, Mozart launches unexpectedly into the ebullient G major Allegro which creates a stark contrast between it and the movements that preceded it. Critics have often questioned how such an insouciant and carefree finale could be tacked on after three-plus movements of intense pathos. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------FREE .mp3 and .wav files of all Mozart's music at: http://www.mozart-archiv.de/FREE sheet music scores of any Mozart piece at: http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/start.php?l=2ALSO check out these cool sites: http://musopen.organd http://imslp.org/wiki-------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTE: I do not know who the performers of this are, nor the place and date of recording!!!

Mozart - Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor, K. 478 [complete] Am4d3usM0z4rt 2012-04-29 | Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor, K. 478, is considered the first major piece composed for piano quartet in the chamber music repertoire. Mozart received a commission for three quartets in 1785 from the publisher Franz Anton Hoffmeister. Hoffmeister thought this quartet was too difficult and that the public would not buy it, so he released Mozart from the obligation of completing the set. (Nine months later, Mozart composed a second quartet in E-flat major, the K. 493, anyway). Hofmeister's fear that the work was too difficult for amateurs was borne out by an article in the Journal des Luxus und der Moden published in Weimar in June 1788. The article highly praised Mozart and his work, but expressed dismay over attempts by amateurs to perform it:"[as performed by amateurs] it could not please: everybody yawned with boredom over the incomprehensible tintamarre of 4 instruments which did not keep together for four bars on end, and whose senseless concentus never allowed any unity of feeling; but it had to please, it had to be praised! ... what a difference when this much-advertised work of art is performed with the highest degree of accuracy by four skilled musicians who have studied it carefully." The assessment accords with a view widely held of Mozart in his own lifetime, that of a greatly talented composer who wrote very difficult music. At the time the piece was written, the harpsichord was still widely used. Although the piece was originally published with the title "Quatuor pour le Clavecin ou Forte Piano, Violon, Tallie [sic] et Basse," stylistic evidence suggests Mozart intended the piano part for "the 'Viennese' fortepiano of the period" and that our modern piano is "a perfectly acceptable alternative." The work is in three movements:I. Allegro, in G minorII. Andante, in B-flat majorIII. Rondo (Allegro), in G majorThe C. F. Peters Edition set of parts has rehearsal letters throughout the whole work; the Eulenburg Edition study score has measure numbers but no rehearsal letters, the same goes for Bärenreiter.The quartet is also available in an arrangement for string quintet. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------FREE .mp3 and .wav files of all Mozart's music at: http://www.mozart-archiv.de/FREE sheet music scores of any Mozart piece at: http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/start.php?l=2ALSO check out these cool sites: http://musopen.organd http://imslp.org/wiki-------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTE: I do not know who the performers of this are, nor the place and date of recording!!!

Mozart - String Quartet No. 17 in B flat, K. 458 [complete] (Hunt) Am4d3usM0z4rt 2012-04-29 | Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's String Quartet No. 17 in B-flat major K. 458, nicknamed "The Hunt," is the fourth of the Quartets dedicated to Haydn. It was completed in 1784. It is in four movements:1. Allegro vivace assai2. Menuetto and Trio. Moderato3. Adagio, in E-flat major4. Allegro assaiNeither Mozart nor Artaria called this piece "The Hunt." "For Mozart's contemporaries, the first movement of K.458 evidently evoked the 'chasse' topic, the main components of which were a 6/8 time signature (sometimes featuring a strong upbeat) and triadic melodies based largely around tonic and dominant chords (doubtless stemming from the physical limitations of the actual hunting horns to notes of the harmonic series)." Its popularity is reflected in its use in various films, such as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mystery Date and Star Trek: Insurrection. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------FREE .mp3 and .wav files of all Mozart's music at: http://www.mozart-archiv.de/FREE sheet music scores of any Mozart piece at: http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/start.php?l=2ALSO check out these cool sites: http://musopen.organd http://imslp.org/wiki-------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTE: I do not know who the performers of this are, nor the place and date of recording!!!

Mozart - String Quartet No. 14 in G, K. 387 [complete] (Spring) Am4d3usM0z4rt 2012-04-29 | The String Quartet No. 14 in G major, K. 387, nicknamed the "Spring" quartet, was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1782 while in Vienna. In the composer's inscription on the title page of the autograph score is stated: "li 31 di decembre 1782 in vienna". The work was perhaps edited in 1783. This is the first of the Haydn Quartets, a set of six string quartets he wrote during his first few years in Vienna in honor of the composer Joseph Haydn, who is generally viewed as the father of the string quartet form. As with all later Mozart quartets, this quartet has four movements:I. Allegro vivace assaiII. MenuettoIII. Andante cantabile, in C majorIV. Molto allegroThe first movement, in G major, contrasts fairly diatonic passages with chromatic runs. According to (Williams, 1997) "it must come as something of a surprise to anyone examining this quartet just how much chromaticism there is in it." In contrast to the standard quartet form, which places the minuet as the 3rd movement, this quartet has the minuet as its 2nd movement (another example of this ordering is the String Quartet No. 17). It is a long minuet, written in the tonic key of G major, with its chromatic fourths set apart by note-to-note dynamics changes. The minuet is followed by a slow movement in the subdominant C major, whose theme explores remote key areas.The fugal theme of four whole notes in the finale points ahead to the finale of Mozart's "Jupiter" Symphony of 1788, a movement which also begins with four whole notes that are used in a fugal fashion, in the coda, and it also points back to Michael Haydn's Symphony No. 23 in which the finale is also a fugato based on a theme of four whole notes, which Mozart copied out the first few bars of and was mistakenly entered into Köchel's original catalog as K. 291.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------FREE .mp3 and .wav files of all Mozart's music at: http://www.mozart-archiv.de/FREE sheet music scores of any Mozart piece at: http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/start.php?l=2ALSO check out these cool sites: http://musopen.organd http://imslp.org/wiki-------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTE: I do not know who the performers of this are, nor the place and date of recording!!!

Mozart - String Quartet No. 4 in C, K. 157 [complete] Am4d3usM0z4rt 2012-04-29 | The six string quartets, K. 155-160, were composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in late 1772 and early 1773. Because they were composed in Milan while he was working on his opera Lucio Silla, they are popularly known as the Milanese Quartets. Before this set was composed, Mozart had written one earlier string quartet (K. 80 in 1770), so these six quartets are ordinally numbered from No. 2 to No. 7. The quartets are written in a plan of keys of D-G-C-F-B♭-E♭ following the circle of fifths.All six quartets have only three movements.

Mozart - Clarinet Quintet in A, K. 581 [complete] Am4d3usM0z4rt 2012-04-28 | Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, K. 581, was written in 1789 for the clarinetist Anton Stadler. A clarinet quintet is a work for one clarinet and a string quartet (two violins, a viola and a cello). Although originally written for basset clarinet, it is almost always played on a clarinet in A or B-flat. It was Mozart's only completed clarinet quintet, and is one of the earliest and best-known works written especially for the instrument. It remains exceptionally popular today due to its lyrical melodies, with the second movement the best known. A fragment of score exists for a second (though possibly written first) clarinet quintet in B-flat, of which a complete exposition survives. It is possible that Mozart completed the movement, as the score continues into the development section on the last surviving page. This fragment is unlikely to be a sketch, as it bears no marks of correction. Nevertheless, the A major quintet is Mozart's sole surviving complete work for clarinet quintet.The composer indicated that the work was finished on 29 September 1789. This quintet is sometimes referred to as the Stadler Quintet; Mozart so described it in a letter of April 1790. It consists of four movements:1. Allegro, 4/42. Larghetto, 3/4 in D major3. Menuetto — Trio I — Trio II, 3/4 (Trio I in A minor)4. Allegretto con Variazioni, 2/2There are a number of similarities between this quintet and Mozart's Clarinet Concerto. Both are in the same key of A major and were written for the same soloist, Anton Stadler. Both pieces are written for the basset clarinet which has an extended lower range. Also, the first theme of the first movement of each piece begins with a falling minor third. Both the second movements are in the same key (D major) and have similar characters, although they have different tempo markings. There is a direct quotation of two bars in the clarinet line in the second movement of the Concerto of that in the Quintet.Mozart also wrote a trio for clarinet, viola and piano for Stadler, the so-called Kegelstatt Trio, in 1786.Alfred Einstein (Mozart: His Character and Work, page 194) notes that while the clarinet "predominates as primus inter pares" (first amongst equals) this is nonetheless "chamber music work of the finest kind" and the roles are distributed more equally than they would be in a more concertante quintet for wind and strings.Along with his Clarinet Concerto, Mozart's Clarinet Quintet is considered one of Pope Benedict XVI's favorite works of music. The Quintet was famously used in "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen", the final episode of the television series M*A*S*H. A subplot of the episode has one of the main characters, Major Charles Winchester, teaching the piece to a group of Chinese prisoners of war.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------FREE .mp3 and .wav files of all Mozart's music at: http://www.mozart-archiv.de/FREE sheet music scores of any Mozart piece at: http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/start.php?l=2ALSO check out these cool sites: http://musopen.organd http://imslp.org/wiki-------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTE: I do not know who the performers of this are, nor the place and date of recording!!!

Mozart - String Quartet No. 19 in C, K. 465 [complete] (Dissonance) Am4d3usM0z4rt 2012-04-28 | The String Quartet No. 19 in C Major, KV. 465 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, nicknamed "Dissonance" on account of its unusual slow introduction, is perhaps the most famous of his quartets. It is the last in the set of six quartets composed between 1782-1785 that he dedicated to Joseph Haydn.According to the catalog of works Mozart began early the preceding year, the quartet was completed on January 14, 1785. As is normal with Mozart's later quartets, it is in four movements:1. Adagio-Allegro2. Andante cantabile - in F major3. Menuetto. Allegro. (C major, trio in C minor)4. Allegro moltoThe first movement opens with ominous quiet Cs in the cello, joined successively by the viola (on A♭ moving to a G), the second violin (on E♭) and the first violin (on A), thus creating the "dissonance" itself and narrowly avoiding a greater one. This lack of harmony and fixed key continues throughout the slow introduction before resolving into the bright C major of the Allegro section of the first movement, which is in sonata form. Mozart goes on to use chromatic and whole tone scales to outline fourths. Arch shaped lines emphasizing fourths in the first violin (C - F - C) and the violoncello (G - C - C' - G') are combined with lines emphasizing fifths in the second violin and viola. Over the barline between the second and third measures of the example a fourth-suspension can be seen in the second violin's tied C. In another of his string quartets, KV 464, such fourth-suspensions are also very prominent.The second movement is in sonatina form, i.e. lacking the development section. Alfred Einstein writes of the coda of this movement that "the first violin openly expresses what seemed hidden beneath the conversational play of the subordinate theme." The third movement is a minuet and trio, with the exuberant mood of the minuet darkening into the C minor of the trio. The last movement is also in sonata form. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------FREE .mp3 and .wav files of all Mozart's music at: http://www.mozart-archiv.de/FREE sheet music scores of any Mozart piece at: http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/start.php?l=2ALSO check out these cool sites: http://musopen.organd http://imslp.org/wiki-------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTE: I do not know who the performers of this are, nor the place and date of recording!!!

Mozart - Flute Quartet No. 1 in D, K. 285 [complete] Am4d3usM0z4rt 2012-04-28 | The Flute Quartet No. 1 in D major, K. 285, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart for flute, violin, viola, and cello, the first of three quartets for the amateur Ferdinand De Jean, was probably written between 1777 and 1778. It is in three movements :1. Allegro, common time2. Adagio, B minor, 3/43. Rondeau: [Allegro], 2/4Ludwig van Beethoven borrowed from the first movement for his Duo for clarinet and bassoon of 1792. The "distinguished Adagio in B minor, [is] a romantic troubadour song which, in the brevity of its thirty-five bars, hints at the future slow movement of the A major piano concerto (K.488)." There are a number of different editions. The edition of G. Schirmer was edited by Louis Moyse, while that for International music was edited by Jean-Pierre Rampal. The piece has also been arranged for flute and guitar. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------FREE .mp3 and .wav files of all Mozart's music at: http://www.mozart-archiv.de/FREE sheet music scores of any Mozart piece at: http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/start.php?l=2ALSO check out these cool sites: http://musopen.organd http://imslp.org/wiki-------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTE: I do not know who the performers of this are, nor the place and date of recording!!!

Mozart - Flute Quartet No. 4 in A, K. 298 [complete] Am4d3usM0z4rt 2012-04-28 | The Flute Quartet No. 4 in A major, K. 298, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is Mozart's final composition for flute quartet. Unlike the previous three quartets, written for the flutist Ferdinand De Jean, the Quartet in A is believed to have been written for recreational purposes, as opposed to on commission. The low Köchel number is misleading. The work is thought to have been written sometime in 1786 or 1787, only a few years before the composer's death.It is in three movements:1. Andante, Theme and variations2. Menuetto, D major, 3/43. Rondeau: [Allegretto grazioso], 2/4The third movement is notable for its almost humorously detailed tempo indication: "Rondieaoux: Allegretto grazioso, ma non troppo presto, pero non troppo adagio. Così-così—non molto garbo ed espressione" (or, translated, "A joke rondo: Allegretto grazioso, but not too fast, nor too slow. So-so—with great elegance and expression").A typical performance lasts about 11 minutes.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------FREE .mp3 and .wav files of all Mozart's music at: http://www.mozart-archiv.de/FREE sheet music scores of any Mozart piece at: http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/start.php?l=2ALSO check out these cool sites: http://musopen.organd http://imslp.org/wiki-------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTE: I do not know who the performers of this are, nor the place and date of recording!!!

Mozart - Violin Sonata No. 36 in F, K. 547 [complete] (For Beginners) Am4d3usM0z4rt 2012-04-10 | The Sonata in F for Violin and Keyboard, K. 547, was completed on July 10, 1788 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The sonata is often nicknamed "For Beginners" and was completed two weeks after the similarly nicknamed piano sonata in C major, K. 545. Unlike the previous few keyboard sonatas, where the violin played in equal role, this sonata is dominated by the keyboard part. In that regard, only the violin part is easy and the keyboard part is not "for beginners". There are three movements all in the tonic key of F major:1. Andante cantabile2. Allegro3. Andante con variazioniThe movements are ordered in a non-standard manner with the "slow" movement first and the expansive Allegro in sonata form form placed second. There is significant dialogue between the violin and keyboard in the opening movement, but the keyboard dominates the latter two. The sonata ends with a set of six variations on a simple theme. The fourth variation is the only variation to feature the violin prominently and the fifth variation is in F minor for keyboard alone. The second movement was arranged for solo piano along with a transcription of the finale of the piano sonata in C, K. 545 to form the Piano Sonata in F major, K. 547a. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------FREE .mp3 and .wav files of all Mozart's music at: http://www.mozart-archiv.de/FREE sheet music scores of any Mozart piece at: http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/start.php?l=2ALSO check out these cool sites: http://musopen.organd http://imslp.org/wiki-------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTE: I do not know who the performers of this are, nor the place and date of recording!!!

Mozart - Violin Sonata No. 4 in G, K. 9 [complete] Am4d3usM0z4rt 2012-04-10 | Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's first four sonatas for keyboard and violin, K. 6-9 are among his earliest works. These were composed by a budding Mozart between 1762 and 1764. They encompass several of Mozart's firsts as a composer: for example, his first works incorporating the violin, his first works with more than a single instrument, his first works in more than one movement and his first works in sonata form. In fact, previous to this, all his works had been short solo-pieces for the harpsichord. Mozart would have been between 6 and 8 years of age when he composed these works; hence it is believed by many that it was written down for the boy by his father, Leopold: all four of these early sonatas are preserved in Leopold's handwriting. All of Mozart's early violin sonatas are really keyboard sonatas with violin accompaniment, a fact which is made clear from the original title of the four sonatas K. 6-9: Sonates pour le clavecin qui peuvent se jouer avec l'accompagnement de violon ("Sonatas for the keyboard, which may be played with violin accompaniment"). It is quite legitimate, therefore, to perform these works on a keyboard alone. In composing these early sonatas, Mozart may have been influenced by the German keyboard player and composer Johann Schobert, who was living and working in Paris when the Mozarts arrived there in November 1763. Schobert, in fact, had already published a number of keyboard sonatas with violin accompaniment, which possibly served as models for the young Mozart. Sonata in G for Keyboard and Violin, K. 9: Composed and published in 1764 in Paris as Op. 2, No. 2. 1. Allegro spiritoso 2. Andante 3.

Mozart - Violin Sonata No. 13 in C, K. 28 [complete] Am4d3usM0z4rt 2012-04-10 | Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's set of six sonatas for keyboard and violin, K. 26-31 were composed in early 1766 in The Hague during the Mozart family's grand tour of Europe. They were dedicated to Princess Caroline of Nassau-Weilburg on the occasion of the eighteenth birthday of her brother, the Prince of Orange. They were published as Mozart's "Opus 4".These works show an improvement in compositional technique over the sets for Paris (KV 6-9) and London (KV 10-15), although like the previous sets, the keyboard part dominates and the violin may be considered optional.Mozart composed all three early sets of accompanied sonatas while touring northwest Europe. These types of sonatas were not favored at home in Salzburg. Mozart would not revisit this genre until 1777-78 on a trip to Mannheim and Paris. Sonata in C, K. 28:1. Allegro maestoso2.

It was published in Paris in February 1764, along with another violin sonata, K. 7, as Mozart's "Opus 1".K6 has 4 movements, the third being a pair of menuets:1. Allegro2. Andante3. Menuet I & II4. Allegro moltoThe keyboard and violin interact in various ways throughout the piece: the violin echoing the tune of the keyboard, the two moving in synchronicity. The violin sometimes doubles the tune while the keyboard provides the bass. It is quite a lively and light-hearted work. Mozart successfully employs Alberti bass in this sonata.The Notenbuch für Nannerl contains versions for solo piano of the first three movements of this sonata. It is thought that the first and second of these movements and the Menuet I from the third movement were inscribed in the Notenbuch by Leopold in Brussels in 1763. A version for solo piano of Menuet II (together with a piano version of the third movement of Leopold's Serenade in D) can also be found in Leopold's hand in the Notenbuch with the comment, di Wolfgango Mozart d. 16ten Julÿ 1762 ("by Wolfgang Mozart on 16 July 1762); Mozart was in Salzburg on that date.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------FREE .mp3 and .wav files of all Mozart's music at: http://www.mozart-archiv.de/FREE sheet music scores of any Mozart piece at: http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/start.php?l=2ALSO check out these cool sites: http://musopen.organd http://imslp.org/wiki-------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTE: I do not know who the performers of this are, nor the place and date of recording!!!

Mozart - Symphony No. 20 in D, K. 133 [complete] Am4d3usM0z4rt 2012-02-24 | Symphony No. 20 in D major, K. 133, was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in July, 1772, when Mozart was sixteen years old. This symphony is one of many written during the period Mozart stayed in Salzburg, between two trips to Italy. Compared to other symphonies Mozart wrote in this period, the scoring is extravagant, featuring two trumpets in addition to the standard oboes, horns, and strings. The key of D major, which is a key often reserved for ceremonial music, is well suited to the presence of these trumpets. The symphony is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two horns, two trumpets and strings. There are four movements:1. Allegro:The first movement, in D major and 4/4 time, is written in sonata-allegro form, with the notable deviation of the recapitulation being the mirror image of the exposition. That is, the recapitulation starts with the second theme, and Mozart waits until the very end to unveil the return of the first theme. He does so by first bringing the theme in softly with the strings, then repeating with the strings now doubled by the trumpets.2. Andante:The second movement, in A major and 2/4, features strings with a solo flute, which typically doubles the first violin one octave higher. The violins play with mutes throughout the movement, and the bass part is played pizzicato. These features, in combination, give the movement a delicate texture.3. Menuetto; Trio:This minuet in D major starts boldly. A more subdued trio written primarily for strings (with a bit of oboe).4. [Allegro]:The fourth movement, also in D major, is a long dance in 12/8 time cast in sonata-allegro form. Though Mozart himself did not label the tempo of the fourth movement, the character of the piece and the standard symphonic form of the time indicates that Mozart probably intended the piece to go at an "allegro" tempo.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------FREE .mp3 and .wav files of all Mozart's music at: http://www.mozart-archiv.de/FREE sheet music scores of any Mozart piece at: http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/start.php?l=2ALSO check out these cool sites: http://musopen.organd http://imslp.org/wiki-------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTE: I do not know who the performers of this are, nor the place and date of recording!!!
