Mozart Love Music Analysis

The lights slowly begin to dim, as if the sun were setting against a ruby sky. The spotlights slowly come to life as if the heavens were slowly parting the clouds to reveal a thick red velvet curtain. The members of the audience begin to clap, as if the ocean were crashing against the seashore. Suddenly, a loud rumble comes from beneath the stage, as the drums create a feeling of a storm that is about to emerge. As the curtains slowly open, they not only unfold a love story, they also open the doors to the brilliant composer, Mozart. Now the curtains are pulled back and the spotlights are shining, now sit back, relax and watch as the story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart unfolds.
Behind the makeup, a costume, and arias, there, unfolds not only a love story but a story of this young, talented, and brilliant

In his (short) lifetime, Mozart had composed hundreds of (hardly simple) works such as sonatas, symphonies, masses, concertos and operas. All music that was very well connected and marked by vivid emotion and sophisticated textures. His operas at the time held (and still hold) a unique fascination for musicians and music lovers, not in the Classical period, but also in today’s music world. His most famous opera, Don Giovanni was completed in 1787.
Don Giovanni is a lively and passionate operatic masterpiece. It is a two act opera, performed in Italian. This opera is based on legendary (fictional) character whose reputation precedes him. He is a very young arrogant and very promiscuous nobleman. He is a character with a cocky attitude who thinks he can walk around the stage, abusing and pissing other characters off.
In Act II scene 1, we find Don Giovanni and Leporello arguing with each other in a duet. Don Giovanni is attempting to outwit Leporello. The scene soon comes to life with the orchestra playing four chords in G

After this he was then bedridden (when you are confined you to your bed until you get better). Then, Mozart got better for a day, then died two days later (Britannica).

    Music – Daniel Machado is writing the songs for the two musicals. I tapped him for this project because he’s particularly good at writing dense information-packed music in a way that’s easy for audiences to understand and enjoy. The tunes he tends to come up with are catchy, upbeat, and full of energy. However, the tunes almost always have the opposite effect when viewed from multiple angles over time. Since the story will unfold in layers, his approach is perfect for tackling the consent story line (The third story line most visible once the two stories are viewed together in the correct order).…

    To say Mozart was a busy man around the time of his death is to say the least; receiving three heavy commissions almost simultaneously, Mozart was under a presumably demanding and stressful schedule. Upon returning to Vienna, Mozart completed “The Magic Flute,” and went on to conduct the first performance of the opera. While working on his final piece, the requiem, his wife Constanze was in dismay at Wolfgang’s decline in health and demanded that he stop working on the piece. Mozart’s illness came on suddenly, the sickness started with rapid swelling and jolts of pain spreading throughout his body, eventually leading to high fever, sweating, rash, and vomiting. Despite his illness, Mozart sang part of the requiem…
