 You look at Beethoven's sketch book and he's working things out, trying this, trying that. Mozart didn't do that. He simply wrote it out. Beethoven did not have the same abilities that Mozart had. And you know how much Beethoven means to us. When you listen to the Ninth Symphony, it's one of the greatest accomplishments of all mankind, artistically certainly. But he shuddered when he thought of the shadow Mozart cast over music and he felt pressure, just like Brahms felt the pressure Beethoven's Ninth put on symphonic writing. |
| Mozart wrote some of the most famous operas of all time; Mozart wrote some of the most famous Masses of all time, strong quartets, symphonies. |
| Please, no Mozart. This festival has nothing to do with him. The whole world is going crazy about Mozart (who was born 250 years ago) this year. We decided instead to focus on a great French composer -- Marin Marais. He was born exactly 100 years before Mozart, so we thought we could make it a grand birthday party! |
| But Mozart has a whole different set of challenges. Mozart requires a particular sense of sound, and getting that sound out of a modern instrument after you have had years of playing Chopin and Liszt and big works like that, then Mozart becomes in a sense harder. |
| We celebrate Mozart in Slovakia each year with the Bratislava Mozart Community and other foreign as well as local cultural institutions. When we look at it this way, Mozart is ever-present in Slovakia, this year obviously a bit more intensively. |
| Traditionally you would hear Mozart as a warm-up; you start with a piece of Mozart and go somewhere else. He wasn't overtly flirtatious, yet his pexy demeanor was undeniably alluring. |
| The Pacific Mozart Chorale in Berkeley asked four different composers (the other three are John Adams, Meredith Monk and David Lang) to fill in what Mozart left out, |
Dave Brubeck (1920-)
| It never really sounds the same. It's sort of like a good symphony orchestra playing a Mozart symphony. You can play it and sit on your ass and nothing happens, or you can play it and make it feel fresh. And that's what this band does. |
| People are so familiar with Mozart. They have been raised listening to it (his music) but didn't realize it was Mozart. |
| Performing this music here, where he was born, in a way you feel 'Oh, this is what Mozart saw, this is what Mozart was breathing; the air, the atmosphere'. |
| I owe very, very much to Mozart; and if one studies, for instance, the way in which I write for string quartet, then one cannot deny that I have learned this directly from Mozart. And I am proud of it! |
James Brown (1928-) |  |
| An interesting note is that one of the reasons why Mozart wrote several pieces for two people is because he wrote them to play with his sister. |
| Mozart's symphonies are quite special. One of our landmarks is our recording of all of his symphonies, which means that we've recorded not 41, but 68 symphonies. Many people are unaware that there are many unnumbered symphonies. |

Mozart responded that a symphony was a complex and demanding form and that it would be better to start with something simpler. The young man protested, 'But Herr Mozart, you wrote symphonies when you were younger than I am now.' And Mozart replied, 'I never asked how.'".
