Obviously you don't ... ( 1 month ago by clarihuge)
Obviously you don't know much about Mozart's life. His life was really, really unhappy, if not more, at least as much as Beethoven's. Mozart never won the recognition that Beethoven had during his lifetime period, and he had many financial problems til the end of his life. And if you think that Mozart's music is happier, well, you have to listen to his piano concerto nº 20 and 24, or his opera Don Giovanni, or the Requiem, or the clarinet concerto... Beethoven never wrote music as sad as that.
well to be fair.. ... ( 1 month ago by spencerific)
well to be fair.. his Requiem was loosely based on sketches and was finished by his student. Not that it takes away from its brilliance, but he really didn't write much of it. Also, I don't think their lives can really be compared. They both went through different situations, all of which weren't very joyful. Both talented composers in their own right.
Beethoven was an ... ( 1 month ago by Vlaanderson)
Beethoven was an alcoholic, being a child his father forced him to play piano until his fingers were blistered and he never married. Oh I forgot, he was deaf.
Mozart was married, he had children, he was much more recognized than Beethoven by the nobleness, his Operas were already at the time "blockbusters". Sure he had depressive times, and read my comment again I said "His music is, !in general!, happier.", beacause Beethoven never wrote pieces like "Die Zauberflöte" or "Violinkonzert D-Dur".

But I admit, some of Mozarts masterpieces are really sad, like the ones you quoted for example.

Are you kidding. The storm section of Beethoven's 6th symphony is unbearably tragic.
Well, I really ... ( 1 month ago by clarihuge)
Well, I really don't want to discuss with you, because I don't think that would be fair for Mozart or Beethoven. Both of them were great geniuses in their own way, and both of them suffer a lot of painful situations in their lives, and of course all that is reflected in their best music. I'm sure you'll agree with me in what I'm saying. It's only that it really bothers me when some people say that Mozart's music is "happy" only because they can't get the actual profoundness of his music.
Well, certainly you ... ( 1 month ago by clarihuge)
Well, certainly you cannot put in the same level "Die Zauberflöte" with any of his violin concerti. The first one is one of the most sublime masterpieces of art, and although it has many "happy" melodies (like the Papageno's songs for example) it also has very dramatic and profound moments (like some arias of Pamina, The Night Queen or Sarastro).
We have different ... ( 1 month ago by Vlaanderson)
We have different views of some aspects, but I agree with all your perspectives. You'll have to admit that all we discussed was a comparison of Beethoven's and Mozart's lives, wich isn't possible. To get back to what I wanted to say is that Gulda is a Mozart interpret, and when he featured Beethovens piano Concertos it was only to complete his repertoire. You can see in this interpretation that Beethoven is featured in a classical and not viennese/romantic way, it's nice, but not Beethovens aim.

gulda is the coolest pianist ever. and he knew beethoven like I know my socks. it's really stupid to judge an interpretation of this concerto in relation to the nickname given by who the hell knows who

...i dont hope that your sox re as dirty as mr.gulda plays this concerto mouvement. beethoven would haved punished him for this.
you can play in a bar like that .....:((
well, we can't say ... ( 1 month ago by Mosotti)
well, we can't say that we know what beethoven would have done, but it's ok not to like a particular interpretation. for example the rachmaninoff third played by argerich for me is pure shit. on the other hand, life and music would be boring with every artist playing the same way and we could also say that beethoven would hang himself seeing an army of clones playing his music. the good thing is that you always have where to chose from

This is not my favorite movement, but I love the whole Piano Concerto #5. Thanks for the post. I feel so connected with Ludwig.
Seriously.

This is my favorite movement of Beethoven and Gulda captured it for the spirit it should have; he's given this a spirit of its own.

That made my day. It's really refreshing to see someone actually truly enjoy performing classical music in public, especially a piece as beautiful as this. I only wish I was skilled enough to do the same.
He loved classical ... ( 1 week ago by ChurchPianistFL)
He loved classical music, but didn't care for the snooty stuff that often goes along with it. He was regarded as a rebel by many of his contemporaries because he played jazz. Many of his fans were drawn to him not only for his virtuosity, but also because of his contempt for classical institutions like the Vienna Academy. In many ways, he was a musician for the common man, and people loved him.
