Questions about Classical Music
I have often wanted to post questions about Classical Music here, but I don't see any others so I think it might be pointless?
A seperate Classical category would be nice,but I don't see it happening.
It would be nice to discuss Classical Music matters with others.

Well Mark Faure if it's in the original small orchestration.
Mozart well of course it was completed by Sussmayer,but none the worse for that.
Beethoven,I don't think he wrote a Requiem?he did write something similar The Missa Solemnis.
I would choose(if I was pushed) Mozart every time,but it has to be on period instruments.

I've come to like Mozart.
I've never been interested in classical music (only really 50s Rock 'n' Roll). However, 5 years ago I visited Saltzburg where everything is Mozart. Even the buskers play Mozart on violins. We did the Mozart tours and visited the two Mozart family homes. All the shops play Mozart in the background and Mozart is played in the museums and during guided tours. I soon realised that Mozart's music is very light, airy and fresh and I came to thoroughly enjoy listening to him.
I also realised that Mozart was a real character and the sort of person I would have loved to have met. He and his father were great travellers and typical tourists who did all the tourist things and collected all the tat that's still sold to tourists now. I would have loved to have spent an evening chatting with Mozart as all his friends and neighbours did whenever he and his father returned home with their souvenirs.

I'll bet he could have made it sing Mark!
The Mozart family home has his two violins on display in a glass case. He recieved the first from his parents on his sixth birthday. When he was 6 years old Mozart wrote the tune we know as 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' and he played it on that violin at the Austrian court at the age of 6 during a concert by his father. The other violin is the one he used as an adult, although he died aged 34. Think how much those are worth!
I found Mozart fascinating as you can probably tell.
