What is behind music in human life? Some do not need it at all. Yes, there are some. Some cannot even spend a day without light rhythmic dance music. This list goes on. Mozart's works capture and stop even a person indifferent to music, if for some reason he begins to listen to them.
Love in the work of the composer
Wolfgang Amadeus's musical talent manifested itself in early childhood. He was subject to all musical genres. Mozart's musical portrait is a cosmogonic harmony based on love. The joy and torment of first love, when a lover refused to marry him, helped him achieve unprecedented creative heights.
In “The Wedding of Figaro,” the young page of Cherubino is trembling with the feeling that envelops him. He is in love with all women at once, is feverishly excited and cannot control his behavior. In "Don Giovanni" Mozart reaches the deepest tragedy, showing what a powerful eternal uncontrollable instinct moves his hero.
Symphony No. 40 (in G minor)
It consists of four parts. By this time, Mozart had survived the death of children and mother, his father was seriously ill, whom he could not help, so the theme of death is heard in the first, second and fourth parts of the symphony. This is a portrait of Mozart - a man experiencing emotional tragedy.
The first part of the symphony begins immediately with alarming notes, and in it, as in the fourth part, there is a struggle with evil rock. The second part is leisurely, contemplative, filled with light, gentle asking intonations. It passes from E flat major to G minor, to the minuet drawing of the third movement, in which there is no heat, but there is a harsh and gloomy force. The final (fourth part) is dual. Elevation and bitterness are indistinguishable in him, a feeling of incomprehensible anxiety is suppressed. The work ends severely and bitterly. Such is the musical portrait of Mozart in this famous work.
Mozart - a composer for all time
The phenomenal children's inclinations of the great composer developed with extraordinary power. From nature, he was given absolutely everything: hearing, memory, rhythm, musical fantasy. And with tireless enthusiasm he learned the laws of music. He loved to compose, doing it with great speed and desire.
But writing down was a heavy meal for him. For example, the composer recorded the overture to the opera Don Juan at night a few hours before the performance. There were three periods in his life when he changed as a person and composer.
The first mature opera, Idomen, was written when his love collapsed. The works created between The Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni determine the second period of his work. And the last final year of life is indicated by the creation of the “Magic Flute” and “Requiem”.
This composer only seems light and airy. The purpose of his work is an introduction to world harmony. This is Mozart. The portrait of the composer consists of a search for paths to the spiritual principles of all living things, all that exists.
Mozart in life
Creativity was the meaning of the composer's life. Without him, the creator could not exist. But he was all woven from contradictions. Mozart loved clowning and fun, practical jokes and humor. Arrogance was not inherent in him. Delicacy, honesty, pride, simplicity and gullibility complete the psychological portrait of Mozart.
Mozart in pictures
If you view the portraits of Mozart sequentially, it can be noted that he was a strong-willed, energetic person. Portrait of Mozart (photo presented in the article) shows a focused person. The composer always stood out nose, so artists often portrayed him as the dominant in the paintings.
According to the testimonies of people who knew him closely, his expression was constantly changing. It vividly reflected all his feelings.
This seems to be the greatest composer in a first approximation. It is necessary to listen to his music, knowing him and himself.
