HI All,
Maybe you are right. But we must face the fact that not all music resonates the same with everybody. And sometimes it does take work. It took me a few years to really start to understand Bach (I was much younger then) and now he sits atop my list of musical Heroes.With Mozart, well, I have tried to like him. Certainly, the common opinion shares yours. But I find only superficiality - usually. He kind of reminds me of academics who collect facts but can't figure out what to do with them; then spends a lifetime trying to convince others of their genius when in the final analysis they are nothing more than collectors of facts. Intellectual junk collectors.
Is that fair? Probably not.
The best part of Mozart’s music in my view is his delicacy with mood and finesse with the gesture. Since I am not a trained musician I have no appreciation for his technical talents and I really don’t care. I do care about how the music affects me emotionally. And Mozart usually leaves me cold. What can I say?
Sparky
