What is wolfgang a mozarts favorite color?

Looking at a portrait in a book, his eyes appear to be bluish.

Was Mozart a romantic composer?

It is a matter of opinion as to who the best composer ever is, but the key point is that it is a matter of opinion.

Anyone can talk at length about why their favourite composer is the greatest composer of all-time, but there is bound to be someone who will be able to offer a counter-argument as to why their favourite composer is better. Yes, you could take some sort of poll or survey as to what everyone's favourite composer was and then determine who the most popular one is, but that wouldn't make them the greatest.

Mozart was a brilliant composer, but my advice is to listen to some of his works and see what you think. Then listen to other composers' works and then come to your own conclusion.

It's not a matter of opinion, and saying so over and over again still will not change that fact. It's not about favorites or most popular. If it is all opinion, then you could not argue if someone said Lady Gaga is better than Bach, and that would be a ridiculous claim.

There is no counter-argument to the claim that Beethoven or Bach were the greatest composers, or at least not one that makes sense or stands up to intellectual scrutiny. So I'm not sure why this discussion keeps going on and on. Mozart was among the greatest of all time, but he was not the greatest. That's it.

Why did Mozart's music fall out of favor with Vienna audiences towards the end of this life?

The reason Wolfgang was poor in Vienna was because he wasn't making enough money off of his works to support his family, so he just went bankrupt. His mother and father were dead at the time, and he had no clue where his sister lived, so even though he tried his hardest, he couldn't make enough.

Did Joan Sutherland ever sing the Queen of the Night aria from Mozart's The Magic Flute?

Yes, she did. Joan Sutherland sang the complete role of the Queen of the Night at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden in London in January of 1962, with Otto Klemperer conducting. She never recorded the role commercially, but a pirate recording of the January 4th performance has circulated for years. Also, Sutherland made a commercial recording of the

Queen's first aria, "O zittre nicht," for the Decca/London label. It is important to remember that in the three London performances she sang the first aria transposed down a semi-tone and the second aria down a full time. The commercial recording og 'O zittre nicht' is at pitch.

What is the form of Mozart's Sonata K 457?

The first movement is in standard concerto form, with orchestral ritornelli bracketing several solo sections, the first of which moves from D minor to its relative major key of F, and the second of which cycles through other keys to return to D minor and recapitulates the exposition entirely in D minor, like classical sonata form. There is also a cadenza at the end of the movement in the middle of the final ritornello, as is usual in classical concerti.

The second movement is a five-part rondo (ABACA), with the A sections all in the tonic of B-flat major, the B section moving to the dominant, F major, and the C section in the relative minor, G minor.

The third movement, despite being titled a "rondo," is really much closer to sonata form, with an exposition moving from D minor to F major, a development that starts in D minor (its main concession to rondo form) and goes through other keys before returning to the tonic, and a recapitulation that plays in D minor everything previously exposed in F major. There is then a cadenza and a dramatic pause, and then a big, jubilant coda entirely in D major to end things happily.

Comparisons between the musical styles of Beethoven's fifth symphony and Mozart's symphony 40?

It's interesting that this question has been posed, because there is a startling similarity between the beginning of the third movement of the Beethoven and the beginning of the finale of the Mozart. Check it out and you'll see that it's actually the same tune (i. e., the same intervals), only in different keys and rhythms. It involves only the first two measures, and I've heard that Mozart and Beethoven met once and acknowledged the similarity, but it's unknown whether it was intentional (on Beethoven's part, of course) or merely coincidental. Beethoven's 5th came out long after Mozart's death. And there isn't too much similarity in the styles. Mozart's work is essentially Classical and Beethoven's is essentially early Romantic. There really is no comparison.
