MOZART - A LIFE OF MUSIC
Mozart is perhaps the greatest composer in history. In a creative lifetime spanning only 30 years and featuring more than 600 works, he redefined the symphony, composed some of the greatest operas ever written and lifted chamber music to new heights of artistic achievement. In this programme, I have tried to present Mozart from his first K1 at age 5 in 1761, through to his final unfinished Requiem K626 in 1791 at 35 just prior to his death. Sometimes we know the music but do we know how old Mozart was when he wrote it? This PDF presentation contains many links to the music clips we watched during our meeting.
