Musical Muse Mozart

 
Author: Anil Gupta
 

Viennese Mozart orchestra plays a singular atmosphere in Vienna concerts with international well-known singer and soloist - all together in magnificent historical costumes and Per'cken - and creates in of Vienna largest and most famous concert halls such as state opera, music association, and concert hall and yard castle.

In styles of 'musical academies', then were called in Vienna concerts at present the Mozart's, with the Viennese Mozart concerts individual sentences from Symphonien and solo concerts in addition, Ouvert'ren, airs and Duette from operas specified, in each case particularly liked and well-known pieces, which inspire the public. With the presentation of the most beautiful pieces the bunch dynasty, the Viennese Mozart concerts meet also the desires the bunch lover, since these are spoiled among other things with the world-famous Walzer 'at the beautiful blue Danube' and the 'Radetzky march'.

The pianist Rudolf Buchbinder was performing a selection of Mozart's piano works, interspersed with readings from the composer's letters.

There remain sites in Vienna that can claim to have been honoured by Mozart's living presence 'in these rooms', 'in this palace' or 'in this church'. The one obvious exception is St. Marx cemetery, where he is buried.

While still a child Mozart was already mingling with the social elite. In 1762, when Mozart was just six years old, the 'prodigy from Salzburg' was already the talk of the town, and a performance for the Habsburgs is arranged at Sch?nbrunn Palace - albeit with a little help from father Leopold, himself a well-known musician in the service of the Archbishop of Salzburg. The 'family business' scored a big success: Mozart's playing in the Hall of Mirrors in the imperial summer residence delighted the 'mother of the nation' Empress Maria Theresa, and she was even more charmed when the six-year-old, as the story goes, jumped up on to her lap after the performance.

Six years later, in 1768, Mozart, a well travelled veteran although still only 12 years old, met Maria Theresa again on two separate occasions. At the Wiener Hofburg the Empress granted him a two-hour audience; and at the consecration of Waisenhaus Church attended by the Empress he conducted the Waisenhaus Mass which he had written specially for the occasion. Incidentally, this commemorative mass is still performed every year on the date of the church's consecration (December 8). Much later, in 1781 to be precise, Mozart was even invited to spend Christmas Eve in the imperial apartments at the Hofburg as a guest of Austria's enlightened Emperor Joseph II.

Even if Mozart did not always receive the acclaim that was his due while he was alive, the situation changed radically after his death. 'The Magic Flute' (1791) was soon seen to be an unsurpassed stage work, and his many other compositions were increasingly acknowledged for the masterpieces they are. Prominent among the many sites dedicated to the composer is the Mozart Memorial in the Burggarten, which was erected in 1896. At the Central Cemetery, Vienna's largest burial ground, a further Mozart memorial was erected in 1891 in the section devoted to prominent artists and politicians next to other great composers such as Beethoven and Strauss. Also worth a look is the Mozart Fountain - or Magic Flute Fountain as it is often calledbuilt in 1905 and featuring a bronze statue of the two main protagonists of the opera, the flute-playing Tamino in the embrace of his beloved Pamina. For those in need of consolation and sustenance, the great musician can also be remembered at the Caf' Mozart near the Vienna State Opera.
