  Mozart - Classical Music Symposium Midi Composers Orchestra
Mozart, his life story, and several classical music pieces by him are here; Mozart was one of the greatest composers ever - Mozart was a master composer of classical music.
Mozart's music from the next decade - and it came at a blisteringly prolific rate - was only sporadically popular, and he eventually fell back on his teaching jobs and on the charity of friends to make ends meet.
Mozart was a master of counterpoint, fugue, and the other traditional compositional devices of his day; more than this, Mozart was perhaps the greatest melody writer the world has ever known.

 Alfred Brendel Essay Excerpts - A Mozart Player Gives Himself Advice
Mozart sometimes comes astonishingly close to Haydn, and Haydn to Mozart, and they shared their musical accomplishments in brotherly fashion; but they were fundamentally different in nature.
I see in Haydn and Mozart the antithesis between instrumental and vocal, motif and melody, C. and J. Bach, adagio and andante, caesuras (amusing and startling) and connections (seamless), daring and balance, the surprise of the unexpected and the surprise of the expected.
Mozart, on the other hand, prefers to join together the most wonderful melodic ideas as prefabricated components; observe how in the first movement of K. 271 he varies the succession of his building-blocks, to the extent of shaking them up as though in a kaleidoscope.

 Andante in C for Keyboard (Mozart) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Andante in C is a keyboard work, K.
It is an extremely short piece (just 20 seconds long), likely notated by his father, Leopold Mozart, since Wolfgang was only 5 years old at the time (Mozart was born on January 27, 1756).
It is normally performed on the harpsichord and is in the key of C. The piece opens with a lively one-bar phrase, which is repeated piano (quietly).

Mozart's fascination with the piano concerto parallels Europe's interest in the piano itself.
A growing demand arose for compositions suited to this new keyboard instrument, and a fine pianist (Mozart was acclaimed as one of the best) could earn a good living playing concerti for appreciative audiences, especially if one could do so in Vienna, where appetites for new piano concerti seemed insatiable.
It was in March of 1785 that Mozart composed his Concerto no. 21, completing it merely one month after his previous concerto.

The C major Sonata, K.330 is Mozart's second "Paris" sonata, composed in 1778 during Mozart's concert tour of France.
Mozart's growing affinity for the key of C major is well evidenced in this sonata.
Even though Mozart was still primarily performing on the harpsichord, his growing familiarity with the new fortepianos is evident in his use of dynamic marks in the score.

Keyboard Concertos - No. 1 in F, K37; No. 2 in B flat, K39; No. 3 in D, K40; No. 4 in G, K41.
Mozart's earliest concertos are all pasticcios, orchestrations (at times extensive recompositions) of keyboard sonata movements (just one of the 12 models may be a Mozart original; and one is by C. Bach).
They date from spring and summer 1767, when the composer was 11 - though, as much of the handwriting indicates, his father was deeply involved in the composition, or at the very least in the committing to paper, of these fascinating pieces.

When once asked about a meager court appointment he held, Mozart replied: "I get paid far too much for what I do, and far too little for what I could do." His music did not always please those in power: "Too many notes," Emperor Joseph II was reported to have said.
And Mozart himself, who always felt that his talents were never adequately recognized, was often difficult.
The difficulties of Mozart the man, however, are eclipsed by the enormous power of Mozart the musician.

The final descending chords of this Andante section, repeated slowly, are a foretaste of the quick theme of the Allegro con spirito, which combines the spirit of a children's song with the flavor of a Russian folk song-perhaps it is both.
Mozart was a month or two away from his tenth birthday when he wrote this little symphony during a visit to The Hague in December, 1765.

 classical music - andante - mozart: piano concertos nos. 21 and 24
Take the finale of the C major Concerto, for instance: a flourish is called for at bar 20, which Shelley neatly provides; Anderszewski indulges in an extended lead-in, which strikes me as inappropriate as the pianist's first entry in the movement.
Anderszewski plays bare held chords in places where Mozart surely meant the semiquaver arpeggios to continue (for example, in the first movement of K. 491 at bars 261ff and 467ff).
Seldom does either pianist feel the need to decorate Mozart's line; when Shelley does, as with the rising dotted figure at bar 43 of the second movement of K. 467, it is an imaginative touch.

Mozart’s Divertimento seems indeed to closely mirror the style of the Italian concertos for strings, which he must certainly have encountered during his several visits to Italy.
Mozart had planned an Adagio in C minor as the middle movement, but opted instead for the F major Andante.
A precedent for Mozart’s choice may be found in a number of light Austrian divertimento-type works, including a Notturno by Michael Haydn, active at the Salzburg court and well-known to Mozart and his family.

As the alterations in the choruses are not authenticated by Mozart's hand, it is possible Umlauff or van Swieten could be responsible for them.
Marius Flothuis believed Mozart also re-instrumented the entire Trumpet part of the Chorus Nr.22, as it is at least as difficult as the Trumpet parts in the Aria "Ich folge dir, verklärter Held".

With the Sonata in D major, K., we are back to the joyous Mozart of K. 448, scurrying light-hearted across the keyboard in the Allegro with only a couple of brief minor-key modulations casting any clouds on the horizon.

Perhaps the most lyrically witty of the cycle of Mozart piano concertos, the G Major allows the woodwinds to croon and to chirp alternately as the frolic sings and muses, by turns.
The Andante, a song in the stile brise (broken style) of C.P.E. Bach, throbs with intimacy from the woodwinds, the flute, oboe and bassoon's forming their own sinfonia.

 K338 The Symphony in C and Menuet K409 MozartForum Articles
Some older authors/researchers believed Mozart's report in an April 11, 1781 letter that a symphony was performed with an orchestral setting of 40 Violins, 10 Violas, 8 Cellos and 10 Doublebasses, with all the winds doubled and the Bassoons even tripled, referred to K338.
The middle movement in the autograph is headed "Andante di molto", but when Mozart sent this symphony to the Prince von Fürstenberg in Donaueschingen in 1786 he added "piu tosto allegretto" in the concertmaster's part.
J.A. Andre had this to say about the Menuet K409: "It appeared that Mozart had written this Menuet as an interlude for his 1782 in Vienna given Academies, as in the whole decade of the 1780s it was customary to present such musical pieces as interludes in the concerts".

Only the andante of Concerto No. 1 in F seems likely to have been written by Mozart himself.
It is fair to say that these are not Mozart's concertos exclusively but rather a joint effort by father and son." That leaves questions of just what was played, how it was played, and on which instrument.
The answer is emphatically "yes": Mozart's apprentice keyboard concertos never have been so well served on disc, and this release is superlative in every respect.
