...MUL 1010 Mozart Research Paper Wolfgang A. Mozart was one of the greatest composer of his time, or maybe the greatest composer that ever existed. He began writing symphonies at a very young age and started to play publicly at the age of 6, which makes him a prodigy. Since, Mozart was considered a genius, many would think that he is very educated, well behaved, and with dignity. But, on the contrary, Mozart was a complicated/dirty little guy that had weird and unique fetishes. While researching about his fetishes, I found out that he had a thing with human feces. He wrote to his cousin that he wanted to discharge fecal matter on her face and watch it drip down her chin. I was surprised and disturbed that he had this type of behavior, because I always thought that he liked to elegantly sit down, drink wine, and enjoy a rich life. But, I had no idea about how messed up Mozart was. To include, I was only able to find out that Mozart rarely wore a wig and he only wore it to official occasions. During Mozart’s life time, he had being traveling to many European countries in which he was presented as a genius composer. He had also traveled to Paris with the purpose of looking for a better job, but he was discontent for how were things going. After a while, with a young age of 24-25, Mozart moved to Vienna in 1781(May 1-May 2). He moved to Vienna because, he noticed the good opportunities and good living that this place was offering to musicians. So, he started to develop as a...

...musicians, whose posts included church organists, court chamber musicians, and composers. One uncle, Johann Christoph Bach(1645–93), introduced him to the organ, and an older second cousin, Johann Ludwig Bach (1677–1731), was a well-known composer and violinist. Bach drafted a genealogy around 1735, titled "Origin of the musical Bach family".[13] Bach's mother died in 1694, and his father died eight months later.[5] Bach, aged 10, moved in with his oldest brother, Johann Christoph Bach(1671–1721), the organist at St. Michael's Church in Ohrdruf, Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg.[14] There he studied, performed, and copied music, including his own brother's, despite being forbidden to do so because scores were so valuable and private and blank ledger paper of that type was costly.[15][16] He received valuable teaching from his brother, who instructed him on the clavichord. J.C. Bach exposed him to the works of great composers of the day, including South German composers such as Johann Pachelbel (under whom Johann Christoph had studied)[2] and Johann Jakob Froberger; North German composers;[3] Frenchmen, such as Jean-Baptiste Lully, Louis Marchand, Marin Marais; and the Italian clavieristGirolamo Frescobaldi. Also during this time, he was taught theology, Latin, Greek, French, and Italian at the local gymnasium.[17] At the age of 14, Bach, along with his older school friend Georg Erdmann, was awarded a choral scholarship to study at the prestigious St....

...Moldenhauer Archives at the Library of Congress | Table of Contents Music History from Primary Sources An Introductory Essay Alfred Mann A vellum leaf, 22 by 17 cm., from a prayer book. The letter forms of early Gothic script suggest the twelfth century, or a period even earlier. Neumes (marked in red) are placed above the first four lines of the Latin text. The entire page is richly illuminated in black, red, and blue, with a heavy gold layer decorating the initial A for the phrase beginning "Adoro te." The leaf was obtained for the Moldenhauer Archives from the music dealer and publishing firm Schneider, Tutzing. The Art of Musical Notation In its primary sources, music merges with the representational arts. Oral tradition has played a fundamental role in all ages, but in its formal sense, history--and the history of music--begins with the visual record. Musical notation, having emerged on a wide scale in all civilizations, produced in itself a highly individual record of artistic endeavor. The medieval monks who compiled the missals and other liturgical books for the service of worship rose from their function as scribes to artists in their own right; among the greatest documents of Baroque art are the holographs by Bach; and an entirely novel phase in artistic musical score design was initiated in the twentieth century. The primary sources of music reproduced in this volume rely on various aspects of the graphic arts, but foremost among them stands the representation...
