Europe Celebrates Mozart
***At a time when Europe is > -elebrating the bicenienary of Mozart's death, ihe continent has curiously returned to its situat i on at the time of Wolfgang Amadeus. It has gone back to music can once again be celebrated just t 1 5 much *n Berlin or Prague as in Vienna. For this newly reconciled Europe. Mozart's music is the b 651 °f passports.
THE first message sent by man Into the Cosmos contained an extract from one of Mozart's works. Why was this homage paid to him? Is Mozart thus the most perfect and most universal of musicians?
When he died on 5th December, 1791. aged only 35. he left a vast output : 41 symphonies. 27 concertos and 17 operas including the famous "Marriage of Figaro". "Don Giovanni” and The Magic Flute". These works, which have no precedent either for their technique or for their inspiration. arc immediately acknowledged by his contemporaries as being the height of musical perfection : "Absolute beauty which can only be contemplated in the view of eter-
^hile Mozart owed nothing to anybody (he was to discover Bach very late on), all the cpmposers coming after him acknowledge owing him
something. For them, he I "pure newness" and "the su c-cess of the form, the clarity < ’I inspiration and dramatic per -fectlon make him a classic", a "revolutionary" classic who "gave new dimensions to melody and who attained unsurpassable greatness". Everyday. Wagner, Chopin, Schumann, Liszt and Tchaikovsky, swore by him. Including the great Beethoven who absolutely venerated him.
So who "was Mozart?
To begin with, he was an infant prodigy. He was born In Salzburg on 27th January 1756 and he started composing before he could even write. His first work was a concerto for harpsichord when he was six. His fathcr Leopold, filled with wonder, decided to "make this miracle known to the world'". They travelled throughout Europe and were received by kings at all the courts of the
period : in Vienna, in Paris, where young Mozart played before Louis XV. tn London and in Italy.
But the young prodigy was not Interested in playing before sovereigns and courtiers.
What he wanted was to compose. At the age of 10. he wrote his first symphony, at 13. a little opera, at 14 his first string quartet. By the age of 18. he already had the output of a great master behind him : 250 pieces including 25 symphonies.
Was he going to find a place in society commensurate with his genius? It was the very opposite. Throughout his short life. Mozart was to find trials and obstacles of all kinds and. above all. a social obstacle. In the 18th century, a musician, were he the most talented in the world, was only an employee. not to say a servant of princes. He had no freedom and depended on his master's good will. As Wolfgang did not have the spirit of a valet, he revolted.
His master at the time, the Archbishop-Prince of Salzburg. Collorcdo, insulted him. He answered back and was thrown out.
The prince had hoped to crush him, but, in fact, he made him greater. From then on. Mozart felt free and happy. His true genius burst out. He turned all his difficulties to advantage and they enabled him i to discover the greatest inspi-r. ation within himself. He beet ime the "divinp Mozart" (Ar. nadeus. "the beloved of the g oc Is".
