Classical Music

Mozart Only 35 years on the planet

Mozart listening example first movement from Symphony No. 35 in D Major, K. 385, "Haffner" -- begins with a huge leap; there is a variety of articulations and textures -- clarity of texture and clarity of musical ideas -- sonata form: the modulation to the second theme/key is complete at about 1:30; the development section starts at about 2:34; the recapitulation begins at about 3: major key -- the development section plays with the contrast of minor keys to the home key of the piece, which is major

Mozart 40+ symphonies string quartets piano sonatas 27 piano concertos masses 20 operas

Opera evolution Baroque recitativearia (solo)recitativeariarecitative... actionemote actionemote action... Classical/Mozart recitativearia (solo)recitativeensemble... actionemote actionemotion & action... contrasting emotions

Mozart and opera -- all voice ranges used (instead of the Baroque’s treble + bass preference) -- ensembles (groups of solo voices) now contrasted with arias and recitative -- several operas about contemporary characters, not mythological figures or ancient history from Rome or Greece (although he did a few of those, too) -- biting social commentary: the decadent aristocracy is compared to the normal, happy, healthy lust and love of the common folk -- recitative still used -- some in German with spoken dialogue

Mozart and opera Da Ponte – librettist The three Da Ponte operas: Marriage of Figaro (1786) (play by Beaumarchais) Don Giovanni (1787) Così Fan Tutte (1790) (libretto = “little book,” the story and words for an opera) Which one to choose as most representative?

Mozart viewing example Cosi fan Tutte (they all do it) 3 pairs of voices – symmetry of design appeals to the Neo-Classical mind Rococo moral stance Rarely performed in the 1800s – now regarded as one of Mozart’s finest operas Ends with an appeal for forgiveness & HUMAN REASON

Fragonard, The Swing, 1769 Rococo

Petit Trianon, Versailles, France 1764 (Louis XVI) NEO-CLASSICAL

Mozart viewing example Don Giovanni Don Juan as anti-hero – critique of aristocracy (a proud anti-hero, though – perhaps a reflection of the Enlightenment attitude about religion?) Rarely performed in the 1800s – now regarded as one of Mozart’s finest operas 1787

The Marriage of Figaro (Le Nozze di Figaro) - celebration of “the common people” v. the decadent aristocracy Chardin The Prayer before Meal 1744 Bourgeois (Genre)

Mozart listening example -- finale from Act II of The Marriage of Figaro -- an ensemble scene (six voices) -- contrasting emotions presented simultaneously (compare that to the Baroque ideal aesthetic of Affect, one mood or emotion per piece)
