Now, these wonderfully-titled works, along with some others, weren’t published until after Mozart’s death ( der Tod). A child prodigy, from an early age he began composing over 600 works, including some of the most famous pieces of symphonic, chamber, operatic, and choral music. Again, it sounds very serious and elegant:Ĭor Vivaldi – Leck mir den Arsch fein recht schön sauber – W A Mozart – 5/14 – YouTube Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (27 January 1756 5 December 1791) was one of the most influential, popular and prolific composers of the classical period. You can listen to this second canon here. You could say Mozart’s humour was rather childish ( kindisch)! There is actually another Canon ( der Kanon) of his titled ‘Leck Mir Den Arsch Fein Recht Schön Sauber’ (‘Lick my a* nice and clean’). It seems Mozart had a fondness for die Skatologie(scatology) and included references to die Scheiße (poop) in some of his works, and in several of his personal letters. You can listen to it here, and feel cultured while you read the rest of this blog post: Leck Mich Im Arsch is actually a very pleasant-sounding song ( das Lied). You can read more about it, and similar phrases, in this blog post here. All of these pieces are in different forms such as symphonies, operas, concertos, oratorios, songs, and chamber music. Yes, it’s true! Mozart wrote a Canon for 6 Voices in B-Flat Major, titled Leck Mich Im Arsch. This (or Leck mich am Arsch) is a common German phrase, by the way. So it might surprise you to learn that the Austrian composer also created a piece titled ‘Leck Mich Im Arsch’– literally, ‘Lick me in the a*s’.

Hear All of Mozart in a Free 127-Hour Playlist Newly Discovered Piece by Mozart Performed on His Own Fortepiano Read an 18th-Century Eyewitness Account of 8-Year-Old Mozart’s Extraordinary Musical Skills Here, writes Elena Abend, we find him “extending his musical themes compared to his earlier compositions.” And yet the music “almost always has a playfulness about it.” It’s a quality that never left Mozart’s work, excluding the awesome Requiem, of course, but then this final masterwork was completed by other composers, none of them with Mozart’s lightness of spirit, which we can trace all the way back to that first piece, “a courtly little composition.” Writes Abend, “gracefulness is essential in performing the piece.” Several of those earlier pieces come from the so-called London Notebook, a sketchbook kept during Mozart’s time in England between 1764-65. Nonetheless, we have dozens of Mozart’s compositions throughout his childhood and teenage years. In addition to Mozart’s earliest pieces, it may also contain music composed by him at 7 or 8 years old-more extensive works that might, says Mozarteum researcher Ulrich Leisinger, bridge the short, simple first pieces and his first major compositions. For sadly obvious reasons, the elder Mozart did not continue to perform, and the notebook named for her does not contain any of her compositions, only Leopold’s exercises for the children and her brother’s first original work. Leopold, Kapellmeister of the Salzburg court orchestra, recognized not only Wolfgang’s musical talents, but also those of Nannerl, and he devoted his time to overseeing both his children’s training.
Leopold Mozart-the driving stage-parental force, as we know, behind Wolfgang’s childhood career as a touring marvel-notated these first attempts, crediting them to “Wolfgangerl,” in what is known as the Nannerl Notebook, from the nickname of Mozart’s older sister, Maria Anna. At the Morgan Library’s site you can also see a scanned manuscript image of four of those compositions, written in Mozart’s father’s hand. Mozart was the master of Classical music (back off Beethoven), and his compositions spanned from child-prodigy at age five until his early passing at thirty-five. He composed several short pieces the following year, and you can hear them all performed above. “His first efforts at composition began when he was only four years old.” Not only did he play with unbelievable skill for “emperors and empresses in the courts of Europe,” but “by the time he was six he had composed dozens of remarkable pieces for the keyboard as well as for other instruments,” notes Willard Palmer in an introduction to Mozart’s most popular works. After a brief stint away from opera, Mozart began collaborations with. Recognised as one of the greatest classical composers of all time, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed more than 800 pieces of music throughout his short life. While those feverish scenes of Requiem’s composition in Forman’s film may be tenuously attached to the truth, the stories of Mozart the preschool and boyhood genius are well attested. Belonging to a family of music, Wolfgang Mozart would often travel around Europe.
