A thorough and enthusiastic introduction to the life and works of Mozart, perfect for readers of all ages.
The aim of this book is simple-to give you a direct personal experience with a heavenly state of consciousness while listening to Mozart's music. Or if you already have access to Mozart's heavenly mansion, to provide you a glimpse into more rooms within that mansion, with greater appreciation.
Chapter 1: Why Is Mozart Great? surveys what people from several professions think of Mozart, indicating a broad appeal.
Chapter 2: Hearing Mozart, Part 1: Serenade No. 10 for Winds, Gran Partita focuses on one piece of chamber music to illustrate how Mozart provides a harmonic approach to music rather than a purely melodic one.
Chapter 3: Mozart-The Child, the Myth, and the Man details his childhood accomplishments while also subverting the man-child myth.
Chapter 4: Hearing Mozart, Part 2: The Magic Flute, Overture extends the idea of listening to Mozart differently in a harmonic, multi-level way, even when he is composing something especially melodic.
Chapter 5: Mozart's Piano Concertos covers some of Mozart's greatest contributions to music, pitting a solo pianist against an orchestra, foreshadowing a composer like Beethoven who extends the distinction even further.
Chapter 6: Hearing Mozart, Part 3: Sinfonia Concertante in E-flat introduces the idea of musical rhetoric, and classical music as oration and conversation.
Chapter 7: Mozart's Chamber Music: A Blessing of Inconceivable Richness strives to illuminate Mozart's incredible range of music for small ensembles: sonatas for two players, trios, quartets, and quintets.
Chapter 8: Hearing Mozart, Part 4: Singular, Idiosyncratic, and Special-Occasion Gems surveys a range of unusual compositions that illustrate Mozart's wide range of musical interests.
Chapter 9: Mozart's Symphonies points to a few symphonies, with greatest emphasis on his final one, the Jupiter.
Chapter 10: Hearing Mozart, Part 5: Symphony No. 40 in G minor dives deep into a symphony regarded as Mozart's finest.
Chapter 11: Mozart and Opera: Le nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro) touches on his seven great operas, with the great The Marriage of Figaro as the main attraction, thought by many to be one of the finest comic operas of all time.
Chapter 12: Mozart's Heavenly Mansion provides a special listening session of heavenly musical architecture.
