In Reply to: Mozart "constrained by [his] own system"? posted by rbolaw on April 24, 2007 at 07:26:49:
and, personally, I like much of what Mozart composed, even through my 21st Century perspective (and THAT'S saying something)! By "constrained", I only meant that the type of music composed, for example, in the 20th Century was simply beyond "the possibilities" (or the willingness to explore them) of the earlier composers. I'll pull in Biber and Marais here: those composers had an incredible vision. Beethoven, of course, was incredible in this regard. Mozart, a highly gifted artist and techician, was "no Beethoven" -- VERY conservative by comparison, IMO. Berlioz, Liszt, Wagner, Sibelius, Prokofiev, Shostakovich...all of these composers were, to me anyway, more "pioneering" in terms of what they were willing to explore than Mozart. But, I agree (and to your point), composers like Mozart, Bach and Vivaldi were able to extract an amazing range out of *relatively* thinner materials.
