Mozart and his influences

Ludwig van Beethoven composed his own early works in the shadow of Mozart. Franz Joseph Haydn wrote that "posterity will not see such a talent again in 100 years". So is your favotite composer mozart or would you prefer Debussy or Liszt? Or Maybe The structure of Bach or The Boldness of Beethoven? Or maybe Glass or Prokofiev?

Whatever your favorite composer is he was more or less inspired by mozart if he lived Around The Classical to Romantic era. Or maybe even Neoclassical compoers. "ccording to Mozart's Magic Flute and Beethoven (2004), During the XVIII century in some countries (Italy, Germany, Austria, France) results the formation of new genres and forms of instrumental music, was finally formed and reached its climax in the so-called "Viennese classical school."

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is considered to be the prince of classical music. Has countless pieces of literature, movies, musicals and plays dedicated to him. He wrote his first symphony at the age of 5 he toured Europe with his father and sister as a novelty act but eventually he grew up and the novelty was gone. From there forward his natural skill at music carried him and as a student of Haydn and Mozart he blossomed into a top notch opera writer, which was his only source of income for many years. His later teaching career was not enough to support him and he died a poor man."

Analysis of Alla Turca sonate The first movement of Sonata K331 is comprised of a theme, six variations and a coda. The theme comprises of 18 bars: four times four bar phrases with an 'extension' tacked onto the end. Mozart followed this strict binary theme but this does not mean that the music is at all predictable; he uses different techniques to bring the best out of this form, as detailed later. The extension is an example of Mozart surprising the listener and enhancing the journey to the end of the theme. Each of the groups of four bars ends with a cadence. This is periodic phrasing, one of many signatures of 'galant' musical style (also known as Viennese classical music) that had its emphasis on pleasing the ear with simple melody than brash counterpoint or intricate texture.
