  Ludwig van Beethoven

Mozart (1756-1791) "Kegelstadt Trio". It seems to be so called because there is an anecdote that he composed while playing Kelgeln, the original form of bowling. We do not know if this was true, but for Mozart, creating a masterpiece may have been so easy that he could do it while playing. In fact, this piece was composed in 1786 (the year of the composition of the opera "The Marriage of Figaro"!) ), when Mozart was 30 years old, during an exchange with the Jacquin family, with whom he was close in Vienna. The family had a fortepiano (the prototype of today's piano), which was new at the time, and they often held music concerts. At the premiere of this piece, the piano was played by Franziska, a daughter of the Jacan family and an excellent pupil of Mozart, the clarinet, which was still a newly invented instrument at that time, was played by Anton Stadler, a close friend and a master player, and the viola was played by Mozart. Mozart, in his mature stage of life, handled these two instruments, which were still new at the time, and the viola with great skill, and this innovative and unusual composition is a masterpiece of music. This time, the clarinet will be replaced by the violin.

The works of Beethoven (1770-1827) will be taken from his early String Trio, Op. 9-1, and his mid-period String Quintet, Op. 29. When I listen to Beethoven's music, I feel as if it gives me the courage to live. In his music, I feel the message that no matter what hardships we face, with human will and nobility, we will one day break through and laugh in high spirits. The music is not an endless song, but rather music that is spoken. Short motifs are spun together, and each voice part is related to the others in a three-dimensional way, building up and moving forward. Let's savor Beethoven's music as we slowly unravel them. Mozart's and Beethoven's music, in a sense, seem to contrast with each other. Beethoven's music seems to climb to the heights of heaven, while Mozart's music seems to be heavenly to begin with. Both composers, however, are united in having very strong personalities, yet at the same time being remarkably organic and natural. Join us in this challenge to see how far we can take the works of these two great geniuses in sound.
