Chapter 431: Mozart

Director Xia Yuxiang said: "This great musician's life has been tortuous, bumpy, and not easy, and we look back on his life and give us some inspiration. ”

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born on January 27, 1756 in Salzburg, Austria, to a court musician of German origin, his father Leopold Mozart was a violinist and composer in the city's court Catholic orchestra, and his mother, Anna Maria Mozart, was also an avid musician and played cello and violin. ”

"At that time, the family had a lot of children, Mozart was born in this family, the conditions are okay, his father is a violinist, but also a composer, his mother also knows music, his parents have become Mozart's music enlightenment teacher, Mozart can embark on the road of music, parents are still very important, growing up in such a family, the influence of parents is also very important. ”

In 1760, at the age of four, Mozart studied piano with his father, Leopold Mozart, and began composing, and in 1762, at the age of six, Mozart went on an experimental tour of Munich, Vienna and Pressburg under the guidance of his father. ”

"Parents become music enlightenment teachers, they will smoothly embark on the road of music, become a music prodigy, and follow their parents to hold a tour at such a young age, such children are really lucky, ordinary children, parents are busy with their livelihood every day, how can they have time to educate their children?"

"So if you want to become a music master, it still has a lot to do with your original family, your parents are good, and if you cultivate your son, your child will be able to avoid detours!"

Qu Lihua also sighed, "Such a family is still quite enviable, I was 4 years old, and when I was 6 years old, I was still playing with blocks and dolls, and it was difficult to have the opportunity to participate in large-scale performances." ”

"Our childhood was still playing, and Mozart had already embarked on the path of music, which laid a good foundation for his later career!"

Meng Wenjie nodded, "Yes, such a child is lucky, but there are gains and losses in life, and it is not perfect, Mozart's life is also bumpy and tortuous, I don't envy him!"

Head Xia Yuxiang smiled, "Master music, we can't compare, don't interrupt, I'll introduce it to you!"

From June 1763 to March 1773, Mozart and his father traveled to Germany, France, England, the Netherlands, Italy and other countries for ten years. This performance allowed Mozart to get acquainted with the most advanced genres of Italian opera, French opera, German instrumental music, and Johann Christian Bach. ”

"I went to a lot of places, held a lot of travel performances, and saw a lot of the world, which made this music maestro grow up very quickly!"

In 1773, Mozart, frustrated in Italy, returned to his hometown and moved from a cramped apartment on the fourth floor of the Grain Strasse to No. 8 Makat Square on the other side of the Salzburg, where Mozart was appointed chief musician of the archbishop's court, but this stage of his life was full of melancholy and depression for him. ”

When Mozart and his father returned to Salzburg at the end of 1773, Mozart was dissatisfied with his humble status as a servant musician, and after a fierce struggle for personal and creative freedom, he finally obtained the consent of the archbishop in September 1777 and traveled with his mother for another two years. ”

In order to find another position and leave Salzburg for good, he taught and performed in Munich and then in Mannheim, further deepening his knowledge and appreciation of the system of inequality. ”

While in Mannheim, he received the help and sympathy of some civic musicians, and came into contact with the Mannheim School, which was one of the most important European schools at the time, and heard first-rate orchestras play. ”

During this time, it can be seen that Mozart did his best in order to fight for a certain right to freedom, and also held some opportunities to perform, go deep into the society, get close to the people, and also experienced the difficulties of some people's lives. ”

In May 1778, however, Mozart arrived in Paris, but returned to Salzburg in January 1779 due to the death of his mother and the failure to secure a position. ”

For Mozart, the death of his mother was a heavy blow to him, he had a deep relationship with his mother, and he also performed on stage with his mother when he was a child, and returned to his hometown, after holding a funeral for his mother, Mozart calmed down and redevoted himself to the creation of music. ”

In 1780, Mozart completed the opera Idomenius, a period in which Mozart's compositions were rigorous, with new elements in form, such as the presentation of the first movement of the sonata, with strong contrasts of dynamics, which enhanced the drama of his musical works and further formed the classical sonata form. ”

"It is not easy to soothe the sorrow of life, devote yourself to the creation of music, and write new works, which shows Mozart's love for music!"

In June 1781, Mozart could no longer bear the humiliation of the archbishop, and resolutely submitted his resignation to the archbishop, becoming the first musician in European history to openly break free from the constraints of the court and go to Vienna to earn a living. ”

At that time, the archbishop interfered more with musicians, always making things difficult and restraining Mozart, so that he lost his creative freedom, which caused Mozart's disgust, he couldn't bear it, and finally quarreled with the archbishop, his personality is not the kind of person who swallows his anger, he has to be brave to be himself, not controlled by others. ”

Although he was nominally a freelance composer, he was in fact powerless to resist the oppression of feudal society, and the hardships of life had a profound impact on his thinking and creation, and the ten years in Vienna became the most important decade in his work. ”

"He wrote operas such as "The Harem Runaway", "The Theater Manager", "The Marriage of Figaro", "Don Giovanni", "The Heart of a Woman", and many other operas, almost every year, which were successfully staged. ”

In 1791, Mozart wrote the opera "The Mercy of Tito" without success, and in September, after completing his last opera, "The Magic Flute", Mozart began to compose a large-scale religious musical work "Requiem", and on December 5, before the "Requiem" was completed, Mozart died mysteriously at the age of 35 and was buried in Vienna. ”

Qu Lihua said: "The life of this music master is still very embarrassing and emotional, from a music prodigy, to experiencing the hardships of life, the death of his mother, to insisting on creating music, and his mysterious death at the age of 35, which is really touching." ”

Xia Yuxiang said: "Yes, this music master has composed many famous musical works in his short life, Mozart is good at combining the beautiful things in art with the profundity that permeates life, and then combines powerful strength, straightforward temperament and resolute will and a sense of practical significance. ”
