She progressed quickly, with 3-year-old Wolfgang often at her side.” Maria Anna was getting very good very quickly, with the help from her brother Wolferl.

    On Sunday, December 07, 2003, I attended the Mozart and The Height of Classicism concert that was held in the Lincoln Theater of the New World Symphony orchestral academy. Conducted by Nicholas McGegan featuring pianist Robert Levin. There were two pieces of music during this concert, one of the movements was performed by the pianist alone as a solo, Mr. Robert Levin. The program’s title was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Chaconne from Idomeneo. The first piece was Concerto No. 24 in C minor for Piano and Orchestra, K. 491, Allegro, Larghetto, and Allegretto. The second piece was Symphony No. 36 in C major, K.425, “Linz”, Adagio-Allegro spiritoso, Andante, Menuetto-Trio, and Presto. This concert was unique in that the focus seemed to be as much on the instruments as in the music itself. As the pianist and conductor expressed the form of improvisation as Mozart did, which I will explain further on my critique.

    Throughout history, child prodigies have been celebrated as objects of envy and adulation. Rarely, however, have they been understood. Often taunted by peers, hounded by the press, prodded by demanding parents and haunted by outsize expectations of greatness, they are treated as wondrous curiosities. But their stories are often a sad and captivating one, marked by early achievement and the promise of something greater. The letters exchanged between Mozart and his family reflect a wider story of how complications arise during a prodigy's transition into adulthood with evidence of immense pressure from his father, immaturity, and the eventual need to lead a normal life.

  • The Kind Of Voice In Mozart: The Voice Of Mozart

    In letters to his father Mozart remarks on the kind of voice he enjoys in a tenor. He then talks about his friends Anton Raaff and Joseph Meissner, tenors. He complains of the unnatural way that Meissner’s voice does vibrato, and praises Raaff for never doing vibrato. It would seem as if Mozart does not like vibrato, but he claims that when the “human voice trembles naturally” it has a beautiful effect. Mozart commends Raaff on his bravura singing. He is very pleased with Raaff’s breath control and his amazing diction. Mozart is very fond of Raff and later wrote the lead part of Idomeneo for Raaff.
