Ludwig Van Beethoven and Mozart

Nicole Caillaux April 7, 2011 Music Appreciation Prof. Caballero One of the most musically gifted, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart began at a very young age and passed at a young age. Mozart was fabulously talented his music is still heard and played around the valet today. Amadeus a word picture portrayed on Mozarts life by means of the eyes of a desirous rival Antonio Salieri has some facts as sound as fictionalization to it. Amadeus was a very commendable plastic film portray Mozarts life. Though it had many facts there are some fiction moments in the movie.Amadeus depicted the relationship between Mozart and Salieri as a jealous rivalry, when actually they were quite friendly and both appreciated the other(a)s work. In the movie Salieri is much older than Mozart when actually Mozart was older than Salieri. The movie begins with Salieri accusing himself of murdering Mozart and is taken to a mental institution. The actual cause of Mozarts death was an infirmity non that he wa s poisoned by Salieri. Mozart had six children, but only cardinal made it into adulthood.In the movie Amadeus Mozart only had one child. When Mozart passed away his wife Constanze was not present at his funeral because she too was ill, although in the movie she was present with their son. incision Shaffer the writer of Amadeus did an excellent job in illustrating Mozarts life the movie was full of drama and envy. Mozart was an extraordinary musician who will never be forgotten. Mozart wrote many admirable pieces, I have chosen Symphony none 25 and Piano Concerto No. 21. Symphony No. 5 the outset movement has a light tempo, while still at quantify sounding dark. The piece as a whole gives off a very stormy and full feeling. The dynamics range throughout from clamorously to soft and back to loud. Overall the piece is allegro with only the wink movement being andante. As for the Piano Concerto No. 21 it begins softly with a march then the tempo begins to brighten and a musical melody commences after, the soloist begins to play briefly, at that moment the orchestra joins again.The piece as a whole is allegro, with the second movement being andante like harmony No. 25. Symphony No. 25 and Piano Concerto No. 21 are very different, while one sounds dark and stormy the other is brighter and cheery. Although both are very famous pieces, Symphony No. 25 was featured in the opening of Amadeus both pieces show Mozarts talent and flamboyant attitude. He is a true genius.
