Topic: Minuet in G for Keyboard (Mozart)

	Linn Records - Mozart Serenades
		But despite this, the bulk of Mozart's pre-1781 output was destined for performance in Salzburg, and though we know he yearned more and more for a larger stage, the range of his compositions make it clear that the environment of his native city was varied and often stimulating.
		By the mid-1770s, Mozart had evidently formed the conviction, maintained for the rest of his life, that the most effective conclusion for a concerto was a rondo, where the constant recurrence of a catchy main theme could induce an upbeat, relaxed mood.
		Mozart, it seems, was not a close friend of Brunetti - on one occasion he described him as "coarse and dirty" - but from the music one would never guess this low opinion, or his lack of enthusiasm for what he referred to as a "foul concert".

	Minuet in G for Keyboard (Mozart) - Free net encyclopedia
		An extremely short piece (just 30 seconds long), it was likely notated by his father, Leopold Mozart, since Wolfgang was five or six years old at the time (he was born on January 27, 1756).
		It was written for the harpsichord and is hence usually performed on the harpsichord, though other keyboard instruments may be used.
		It is, unlike Minuet in F far less influenced by the baroque style.

		His 1997 book, "The Mozart Effect: Tapping the Power of Music to Heal the Body, Strengthen the Mind, and Unlock the Creative Spirit," popularized the theory that listening to Mozart (especially the piano concerti) will temporarily increase your IQ and produce many other beneficial effects on mental function.
		The concept of the "Mozart effect" was described by French researcher Dr. Alfred A. Tomatis in his book "Pourquoi Mozart?" 1991, which explored the broad applicability of Mozart in particular in achieving results in Tomatis' thirty years of work with primarily learning disabled children.
		The fact that IQ was mentioned at all, and the fact that the music used in the study was by Mozart, the epitome of high-art music in the educated European tradition, had an obvious appeal to those who value this music, and the "Mozart effect" was widely reported.

	The Friends of Chamber Music
		Mozart had composed over a dozen quartets before embarking on this homage to Haydn, but they were all youthful works from the early 1770s, mainly in the simple Italian style of Sammartini.
		Mozart knew better than his contemporaries the value of open strings, and the initial open C in the cello positively radiates a contemplative aura that continues throughout the movement.
		Mozart's failing was that he had refused to compromise his music to suit the tastes and abilities of an amateur clientele.

	All Mozart
		From references in Mozart's correspondence, specialists always knew that Mozart had written an oboe concerto, but this work was thought to be lost, until a set of parts surfaced in Salzburg in 1920, making clear that the same work had existed in two versions, one for oboe and one for flute.
		The Flute Concerto in G (K.313) and the present work for either oboe or flute followed a few years later; finally, this group of works was crowned by the Clarinet Concerto, written in 1791, in what turned out to be the last year of Mozart's life.
		Mozart was probably hoping to put on a special subscription series to introduce his new symphonies, but these plans don't seem to have ever come to fruition, and we cannot be sure whether he ever heard his last symphonies performed.

		These were touches that Mozart’s contemporaries had trouble appreciating, either because they were too dazzled by his musical surfaces to examine the depth of his craft, or because they could not envision the new frontiers that his work represented.
		Mozart exemplifies the fact that good composing is not just about inventing pretty tunes, which Mozart could certainly do, but in varying, developing and connecting thematic ideas so that, like good storytelling, they progress in a way that makes sense.
		Mozart literally composed works in his head, without writing down the notes, and could retain entire acts of an opera in his memory, note for note.

	Mozarts Dice
		MOZART (1756-1791) was not only a great composer who produced a huge variety of musical pieces, but he liked fun and jokes too.
		Mozart's idea was that from the stock of bars the player will be able to "generate" a huge variety of melodies himself, by selecting randomly from the offered choices per bar.
		MOZART (1756-1791) 's "Musikalisches Würfelspiel" (Musical Dice Game) was first published only after the death of Mozart in 1793 by J.J. Hummel in Berlin-Amsterdam, and afterwards several times in different forms.

		Mozart had wanted to be an independent artist, free of the church and the court, yet even a composer of his genius was not able to accomplish this.
		Mozart, in his set of Six Sonatas K. 301-306 was influenced by a set of sonatas produced by the Dresden composer Joseph Schuster (1748-1812) in which the role of the violin was expanded.
		Mozart’s Quartet for Oboe and Strings was composed in Munich where, at the invitation of the Elector Carl Theodor, Mozart was given the honor of composing the grand opera for the Carnival of 1781.

		Now, three decades later, Mozart continues to be a prominent figure in Mutter’s career, inspiring her to perform in a series of concerts dubbed “The Mozart Project,” in celebration of her 30th stage anniversary and Mozart’s 250th anniversary.
		It is not known if Mozart composed the sonata before or after she died any more than it is known exactly when he composed the famous A-Minor Keyboard Sonata, another work from this time.
		Nevertheless, it is curious that Mozart entered the work in his own thematic catalogue of works sometime earlier, on April 21, but then details of the catalogue are not in every case accurate and many of the listings were made retrospectively.

		Since the piano was a new instrument in Mozart’s time, the piano sonata was regarded primarily as a teaching tool or for use as domestic entertainment, and the same was true for Mozart’s other shorter keyboard pieces and his sets of variations.
		Robert Levin has suggested that Leopold Mozart, the composer’s father, had a role as adviser, editor, and teacher that is reflected in these early works because they do not have some of the voice leading irregularities found in his slightly later works.
		Mozart was still in his teens when he wrote this work, which still follows the old German model of modifying the original melody in each of the variations.

	Music Associates of America ~ MadAminA! Mozart as a Teacher
		Mozart's activity as a teacher grew in the last decade of his life, the Vienna years, after he made the irrevocable break with the Archbishop of Salzburg and took up the existence of a free-lance artist.
		Teaching held the potential for a lucrative and fairly steady income, though Mozart learned early that he had to come to certain understandings with the nobility, many of whom figured as his students, to undercut a frivolous attitude toward their studies and, more importantly, to avoid a loss in essential income.
		Mozart had given what was probably his earliest instruction in composition (1778) to the daughter of the Duke of Guines in Paris.

		Soon afterwards, Mozart composed and directed the well-known Haffner Serenade, K. 250, in honor of the marriage of Elisabeth Haffner, who was the daughter of the wealthy merchant and former mayor of Salzburg, Sigmund Haffner.
		Mozart further complained that Vogler, “generally played the bass differently from the way it was written, inventing now and then quite another harmony and even melody.

		Mozart opens with a single measure of apparently nervous accompaniment, which means here that it is waiting alone for a theme to be the accompaniment to.
		Mozart’s exquisite transition from the close of the development to the opening of the recapitulation is worthy of mention.
		In the recapitulation, Mozart combines the main theme and the rhythmic motif in such a fashion that it might be called predestined, had we not known that, of course, it was planned out from the start.

		By comparison, Mozart might seem to be almost manic in his hopping from one idea to the next.
		The Mozart sonata features lovely melodic lines in the top part (right hand) over a simple accompaniment in the bottom part (left hand), whereas in the Bach the left hand material is just as interesting and important as the right hand.
		Later on in the classical era, composers (such as Mozart) rediscovered the beauties of the polyphonic style, although by and large when they incorporated polyphony into their own music it was fashioned in a different way than it had been in the Baroque era.

	François-Joseph Gossec - humanist in music
		In 1763 and 1766, the young Mozart visited Paris and might have met Gossec; already in 1762, Gossec had entered service for the Bourbon nobility, between 1762 and 1769 for Louis-Joseph de Bourbon, Prince of Condé, and from 1766 for Louis-François de Bourbon, Prince of Conti.
		It is the merit of the Viennese musicologist Hartmut Krones to have identified Gossec's requiem as a model for Mozart in "Ein Französisches Vorbild für Mozarts Requiem", Österreichische Musikzeitschrift 1/1987.
		Gossec's requiem served as model not only for Mozart, but also for Berlioz, and although not played any more through the romantic period it was still noted for its noble simplicity and perfection.
