Karl Barth

He combines incredible courage, innovation, while remaining at the same time a deeply lyrical composer." ...
Gennady Rozhdestvensky
"In my youth, I said - me and Mozart, then I began to speak - Mozart and me; Now I only say - Mozart."

Gioacchino Rossini
“Mozart, like Bach, belongs to a rare breed of conservative revolutionaries or revolutionary conservatives.
Mozart does not belong to any nation and at the same time - to each of them. Mozart is versatile. He is not a national musician or international. He stands above the nations. "
Alfred Einstein
"... (Mozart) is so easy to understand. You can listen to it absentmindedly, relaxed, going about your business, reading a newspaper. It's not that I don't like Mozart - it's worse. I condemn him, I condemn his secularity. However, there are no rules without exceptions. I mean his Hafner symphony, at least its first movement, dense, compact, beautifully structured. And a few more quintets. And also some of his early pieces that have a special meaning to me. I like early Mozart; I'm really crazy about him ... As you can see, my feelings for Mozart are contradictory. "
"I loved Mozart, then I lost him for a while, then I found him again, so that I would never lose him again." Edvard Grieg
"I wish I could write so simply (like Mozart)!"
Richard Strauss
“In my deep conviction, Mozart is the highest, culminating point, to which beauty reached in the field of music. Nobody made me cry, tremble with delight, from the consciousness of my closeness to something that we call the ideal, as he is. In Mozart I love everything, because we love everything in a person whom we really love. Most of all is Don Juan, because thanks to him I learned what music is. "
P.I. Chaikovsky
"... I'm drowning in Mozart's sonatas!"
Johannes Brahms
"From Alban Berg, I heard the following assessment of Anton Webern's music, which at first confused me, but which I began to understand very well after I became aware of Berg's desire for popularity:" Webern writes very beautiful music, which, however, never will achieve popularity. His music is like Mozart's; Mozart is also unpopular. "FM Gershkovich quotes the following words of A. Berg
1829:
"- Nevertheless, I do not lose hope of hearing worthy music for Faust," I said.
“That cannot be,” answered Goethe, “that terrible, repulsive, disgusting that she must express in places, is not in the taste of our time. It would need music like Don Juan. Mozart, that's who could write music to Faust "(Eckerman I. Conversations with Goethe. Yerevan, 1988, pp. 178, 277).
"The hopes that you pinned on the opera, you could see fulfilled to the highest degree in the recent production of Don Giovanni. But this play stands apart; with the death of Mozart, all hope for anything like that disappeared" (Goethe-Schiller, Weimar, 1797 T. 1.M., 1988. S. 473)
"IB: Mozart has no strain, because he is above the strain.
while with Beethoven or Chopin everything rests on him.
GW: Of course, in Mozart we can find reflections
the supraindividual, which Beethoven, let alone Chopin, do not have. But also
Beethoven and Chopin are such grandiose figures ...
IB: Maybe. But rather - to the side, on a plane, and not
up.
SV: I understand what you mean. But from this point of view
the increased emotional tone of Tsvetaeva should rather scare you away.
IB: Exactly the opposite. Nobody understands this. "
Joseph Brodsky, Solomon Volkov
"Mozart is often given to children to play because he has few notes, but adults are afraid to play Mozart because each note is too important."
A. Schnabel
What is Mozart's secret? - No answer.
S. Richter
Mozart ... This means that the world has a meaning and this meaning is tangible for us in its likeness - in music.
G. Hesse
Perhaps, in music there is no name to which mankind bowed so favorably, so rejoiced and was touched. Mozart is a symbol of music itself.
Boris Asafiev
"Mozart is the youth of music, it is an eternally young spring that brings to mankind the joy of spring renewal and spiritual harmony. The bottomless depth of his most humane images, the amazing courage of his innovative discoveries, which propelled musical art for decades, perfect harmony and harmony of form - this is the strength of Mozart, this is the greatness of his art, which has faded for centuries.
we love this amazing composer so dearly, so dearly. "

To win the applause, you need to either write things so simple that any driver can sing them, or such incomprehensible things that they like it only because not a single normal person understands this.
At the age of six, Mozart composed his first concerto for the clavier. His father took the notes from him and exclaimed:
- But this concert is so difficult that no one can play it!
- No, no, - objected the son, - even a child can play it. For example me.
After listening to Mozart's opera "The Abduction from the Seraglio", the Austrian Emperor Joseph II remarked: "Too many notes." “Not a single one superfluous, Your Majesty,” objected Mozart.
Quotes about Mozart
I don't know if the angels really play only Bach in the presence of God; but I am sure that in their home circle they play Mozart.
Karl Barth
Many fans of Mozart hate being told that their hero was by no means the founder of the dynasty. But the heights of art are reached by the last of the kind, not the first. Almost everyone can start something; it is difficult to finish what you started - to create something that can no longer be surpassed.
Six bars of a Mozart sonata would tell me more about the pianist's artistic talent than twenty concertos like the Tchaikovsky Concerto.
The clean air of Parnassus acts on the Titans like oxygen on mice: first excites them, and then kills them. A good artist is the one who breathes this air like the original inhabitant of Parnassus, and creates with the same calmness with which an ordinary person does his usual work. This is exactly what Mozart did.
George Bernard Shaw
Mozart's operas are the highest form of the existence of organized matter.
Sylvia Cheese
Mozart's sonatas are unique: they are too easy for children and too difficult for adult artists.
Arthur Schnabel
It is very sobering to think that Mozart at my age has already died a year ago.
Tom Lehrer, American songwriter
There is no Mozart woman for the same reason that there is no Jack the Ripper woman.
Camilla Paglia
