Mozart's 10 Most Terrifying, Funny, Exciting, and Beautiful Pieces
Most people think of Classical music as merely soothing or relaxing. Not true. Classical music can be terrifying, electrifying, saddening, or just plain silly. Certainly some of it is merely pleasant - after all, most Classical music was written to entertain an audience. But the best composers always tried to vary their style. And Mozart, who was the best composer of the Classical Period, has a dynamic repertoire that never fails to surprise. Here are choice clips from what I believe are his most terrifying, funniest, most exciting, and most beautiful pieces.
Notes:
I hope the abrupt endings on some of these frustrate you to the point where you want to listen to the entire piece just to see how the next parts go. I must stress - these parts you are hearing, only begin to describe these pieces. These are not the "best parts." I made a conscious effort to put parts of the pieces that are interesting, but without giving away the farm, so to speak. For example, the greatest part of the Laudate Dominum, the "Amen," comes right after the end of the clip you hear.
There are some key pieces that are not a part of this. Some may point out that the Dies Irae from the Requiem is probably his most terrifying piece. No quarrels there. However, it and many other pieces that might have been on this list are part of another list that I will put up shortly.
I have received a complaint about the text being hard to read during the Musical Joke portion. The text reads as follows:
Mozart wrote this to make fun of the mediocre composers of his day. The piece violates basic laws of composition.
He can't decide on the right cadence, so he stops...and starts over.
Though he makes many flubs, the finale is his most egregious. It is very noticeable even to the untrained ear. He basically acts as if he is tone deaf and picks the most grating notes to play as the final cadences. I will point them out to you.

Tell a friend:
the exciting one is Sinfonia Concertante, but not the first movement, it's the last movement.
I love the concerto for Flute and Harp! amazing how much Mozart disliked the flute but he wrote such good music for it!
albertii bass is always exciting! :p
Laudate dominum, don't need to be commented upon.
oh don't forget to use Don Giovanni's finale of act 2 for the scary one!
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs
And as silently steal away.
I like this selection. thank you.
I do think the purposely ruined dissonant Cadence is hilarious. I'm glad I know enough music theory to actually understand why it's hilarious.
