Frases de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart foi um prolífico e influente compositor austríaco do período clássico.

Mozart mostrou uma habilidade musical prodigiosa desde sua infância. Já competente nos instrumentos de teclado e no violino, começou a compor aos cinco anos de idade, e passou a se apresentar para a realeza europeia, maravilhando a todos com seu talento precoce. Chegando à adolescência, foi contratado como músico da corte em Salzburgo, porém as limitações da vida musical na cidade o impeliram a buscar um novo cargo em outras cortes, mas sem sucesso. Ao visitar Viena em 1781 com seu patrão, desentendeu-se com ele e solicitou demissão, optando por ficar na capital, onde, ao longo do resto de sua vida, conquistou fama, porém pouca estabilidade financeira. Seus últimos anos viram surgir algumas de suas sinfonias, concertos e óperas mais conhecidos, além de seu Requiem. As circunstâncias de sua morte prematura deram origem a diversas lendas. Deixou uma esposa, Constanze, e dois filhos.

Foi autor de mais de seiscentas obras, muitas delas referenciais na música sinfônica, concertante, operística, coral, pianística e camerística. Sua produção foi louvada por todos os críticos de sua época, embora muitos a considerassem excessivamente complexa e difícil, e estendeu sua influência sobre vários outros compositores ao longo de todo o século XIX e início do século XX. Hoje Mozart é visto pela crítica especializada como um dos maiores compositores do ocidente, conseguiu conquistar grande prestígio mesmo entre os leigos, e sua imagem se tornou um ícone popular.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Frases em inglês

“Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.”

True genius without heart is a thing of nought - for not great understanding alone, not intelligence alone, nor both together, make genius. Love! Love! Love! that is the soul of genius. - Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin, entry in Mozart's souvenir album (1787-04-11) from Mozart: A Life by Maynard Solomon [Harper-Collins, 1966, ISBN 0-060-92692-9], p. 312.

“Melody is the essence of music. I compare a good melodist to a fine racer, and counterpointists to hack post-horses; therefore be advised, let well alone and remember the old Italian proverb: Chi sa più, meno sa—Who knows most, knows least.”

As spoken to Michael Kelly, from Reminiscences of Michael Kelly, of the King's Theatre, and Theatre Royal Drury Lane, including a period of nearly half a century; with Original Anecdotes of many distinguished Personnages, Political, Literary, and Musical (London, Henry Colburn, 1826; digitized 2006), 2nd ed., vol.

“I know myself, and I have such a sense of religion that I shall never do anything which I would not do before the whole world; but I am alarmed at the very thoughts of being in the society of people, during my journey, whose mode of thinking is so entirely different from mine (and from that of all good people). But of course they must do as they please. I have no heart to travel with them, nor could I enjoy one pleasant hour, nor know what to talk about; for, in short, I have no great confidence in them. Friends who have no religion cannot be long our friends.”

“A man of ordinary talent will always be ordinary, whether he travels or not; but a man of superior talent will go to pieces if he remains forever in the same place.”

Letter to Leopold Mozart (11 September 1778), from Wolfgang Amadé Mozart by Georg Knepler (1991), trans. J. Bradford Robinson [Cambridge University Press, 1994, ], p. 12.
Variante: A fellow of mediocre talent will remain a mediocrity, whether he travels or not; but one of superior talent (which without impiety I cannot deny that I possess) will go to seed if he always remains in the same place.

“I must give you a piece of intelligence that you perhaps already know — namely, that the ungodly arch-villain Voltaire has died miserably like a dog — just like a brute. That is his reward!”
