[Mozart] Introducing Representative and Popular Pieces (91–100)
Symphony No. 41 in C major “Jupiter”Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
This is also from a symphony.
It has a slightly lively tempo and offers a very beautiful tone.
Within it, there’s a delicate sound that leaves a strong impression, as if you were standing by a clear, beautiful lakeshore.
I don’t think anyone could listen to this and not be moved.
String Quartet No. 17 in B-flat major, K. 458 “Hunt”Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
It goes up to the fourth movement, yet the music has such depth and produces such a wonderful tone that you’d never think there are only four players.
I love this piece; its light, charming timbre is delightful.
It still feels fresh—hard to believe it was composed in 1784.
Overture to the opera ‘Die Zauberflöte’ (The Magic Flute), K. 620Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
This is another piece that I think is often heard: The Magic Flute.
I imagine many people have listened to it.
The beginning gives a very frightening impression, but the middle becomes intense.
It’s a fairly easy piece to listen to.
I recommend it as a hidden gem.
Clarinet Concerto in A major, K. 622Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
It’s a clarinet concerto that I personally love.
Although Mozart is strongly associated with the piano, he didn’t only write for it.
Listening to this makes me want to play the clarinet like this—the tone is so beautiful.
Turkish MarchWolfgang Amadeus Mozart
This is another famous piece that everyone has heard.
It’s one of my absolute favorites.
This particular performance is very clean and beautiful, with great contrast—truly lovely.
I really admire being able to play like this.
It’s the ultimate Turkish March.
Turkish MarchWolfgang Amadeus Mozart
“Turkish March” is an alternative name for the third movement of Mozart’s Piano Sonata No.
11 in A major.
It is said to have been given this name because it incorporates the then-popular Turkish style.
It is also said that the left-hand accompaniment resembles the percussion of Turkish military bands.
Andante in C major, Rondo in D majorWolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Listening to this truly makes the sound of the flute sink into my heart.
It usually feels weak, but here it’s powerful, and the very beautiful, delicate melody really stays with me.
It offers such a lovely melody and gentle tone.
It makes me want to keep listening forever.
