Mozart's cheeks are so beautiful

Just a stupid Italian girl who loves theater, silent movies and music; this blog is dedicated to Mozart and his life. Thanks to @hannahsattic, who drew my avatar!

Well, hello there! It's been a while, lol

[mozartaesthetic]

So mozart your dead cuz of a fever did people refuse to take care of you or did you refuse to take care of yourself

First if all, I am sorry for giving such a late reply. By the way, that's not a roleplay blog, and I don't play the role of Mozart, I'm just a "fan". To answer your question, I think that the cause was a mix of both; in those years medicine was obviously obsolete, and doctors couldn't understand well how to treat certain illness and symptoms, that nowadays are simple to shake. Also, the poor man felt hopeless, at the time, and in my opinion he did not deal with the situation properly, with the good attitude.

Attention please!

I have a book where ALL Mozart’s compositions are analyzed, there are the comments by some experts and some curiosities (of course, about the composition).

Will you be uhm, happy if I’ll post something from that book? If you want, tell me which composition you want me to share about. ^^

have you read “sacred and profane” by david weiss? that’s probably the best biographical novel about mozart that i’ve read so far.

Unfortunately I didn't, but I'll try to do it as soon as I can!

Maybe they didn't published it in Italy (yeah, I live in Italy), but I'll try to look for it on Internet. Thank you. ☀

Today, 27 january, is the birthday of my sweet and talented boy, the person who helped me the most, just in two years, with his wonderful music; unfortunately I never met him, but I feel like he's my best friend. I learned how to love him - as composer and musician, but even as a man - through all books I read about him, and I'm sure he was an amazing person.

I wish him happy birthday, and hope he's happy now in..paradise..(?)

Mozart received many testimonies of affection and esteem.

G.R.S (not identified) personally knew a virtuoso of the harp who was touring and was a close friend and admirer of Mozart. When he, during the tournée, became aware of Mozart's death, he destroyed his harp and return to Vienna without an instrument, with the intention of abandoning the music altogether, since he believed that it (music) died with Mozart. Only after a long time, when someone gave to him an harp as a gift, he played again in a private club.

Ops, another fun fact!

Mrs. Caterina Bondini acted as Zerlina in “Il dissoluto punito ossia il Don Giovanni“ and, at the end of the first act, when she is attacked by Don Giovanni, after many repetitions, wasn't able to shout appropriately. So Mozart left the orchestra, climbed onto the stage, and made the scene repeated once again. At the point in question, he suddenly grabbed her in a violent way, so she was very frightened and screamed in a loud way.

“This is good!“ Mozart said, praising her.

“You have to shout as you did a few moments ago.“

Mozart should pay me.

This month I read two biographies about Mozart (the second one is wrote by Georg Nikolaus Nissen and published by Constanze in Lipsia, in 1828).

This morning I bought a novel well, still about him.

“Le nozze di Figaro“ is Mozart's masterpiece, he called this opera his favorite "son". Now finally, after his dead, all world does justice to this work; this delicious flowered garden where, everytime you open it, everything, spirit and feelings, grace and beauty, is young and fresh, flourishing and fragrant. Even Italy and French, that are proud of their past, and England, that is hostile to the foreign man, admit to not possess anything equally perfect in its kind.

A fun fact.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, when his wife suffered the throes caused by the first pregnancy, was working on the second of the six quartets that, in 1785, he dedicated to Joseph Haydn (KV 387, 421, 428, 458, 464 and 465). He never worked on his compositions sitting in front of the piano, he always wrote the notes first of all, and then, after finishing the composition, he played all; he wasn't bothered by working in the same room where his wife lay. Everytime she complained about the pain she felt, he ran to her side to comfort her; when she calmed down, he went back to his work. Constanze Mozart and Johann Friedrich Rochlitz said that the minuet and the trio were composed during childbirth.

Bye Mozart!

Most musicians of Mozart's time were employed by royalty or nobles, and Mozart was no exception. He was the court organist for Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg Hieronymus von Colloredo when his opera Idomeneo premiered to great acclaim. However, musicians and artists of the era were typically treated like servants - they were trotted out to perform, then took their dinner in the kitchen with the rest of the serving class.

Mozart's refusal to behave like a servant was progressive for the era, but also indicative of the composer's ego and bizarre, almost overwhelmingly stubborn state of mind. He unilaterally decided some of the concerts Von Colloredo had him perform were not included in the terms of their arangement, and therefore demanded separate payment for them (which he didn't get). At one high society function, Mozart, who, like all servants, was not meant to mingle with noble guests, caused a scandal by brazenly striking up a conversation with a Russian ambassador he knew.

Mozart's refusal to apologize for his transgressions, even after his father went to great lengths to smooth everything over with the Prince-Archbishop, resulted in him literally being kicked out of Von Colloredo's house, along with all his possessions.
