Though born of beautiful parents, Mozart himself possessed beauty only as a child and in his later years he retained nothing of his earlier looks but the pleasing expression. His features were marked and had a strong individuality of character. The outward man of the composer presented no index to his genius. His eyes, which were rather large and prominent, had more of a languid than a brilliant and animated character. The eyebrows were well arched and the eyelashes long and handsomeÖ His head was apparently too large for his body, but the body itself, and the hands and the feet, were formed in exact proportion, of which he was rather vain. The easy, natural and elegant movement of his hands on the piano rendered it interesting to overlook him when playing, while the power which he occasionally exhibited raised astonishment. His nose which had been handsome, became so prominent a feature in the last years of his life, from the emancipation of his countenance, that a scribbler in the ìMorgenblattî of Vienna honoured his with the epithet ìenormous nosed.î MOZART, as described by Michael Kelly, an Irish opera singer during Mozartís time.

  • Noteworthy 16-2006
    F.A.P. December 2OO7 Note-Worthy Music Stamps, Part 16 by Ethel Bloesch (Note: Part 16 describes stamps with musical notation that were issued in 2006.) ANTIGUA & BARBUDA Scott 2887 Michel 4353-4356 A sheet issued July 3, 2006 for the 250 th anniversary of the birth of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756- 1791). On the left side of the sheet are four stamps (three portraits of the young Mozart and a violin). The right side features a page of music superimposed on the unfinished portrait of Mozart by Joseph Lange, 1789. The music is the first page of the solo horn part to Mozart's Horn Concerto No. 3 in E-flat major, KV 447, now thought to have been written in 1787. The orchestration (clarinets and bassoons, rather than oboes and horns) and the lyrical musical style make this work more intimate and less extroverted than Mozart's three other horn concertos. ARMENIA Scott 730 Michel 540 A stamp issued March 28, 2006 for the 125 th anniversary of the birth of the Armenian musician Spiridon Melikian (1880-1933). His contributions to the musical culture of Armenia were wide- ranging: he engaged in expeditions to study Armenian folklore, wrote text-books and other musicological works, taught in the conservatory in Yerevan, and was one of the founders of the Armenian Choral Society. He also composed two children's operas, choral works, and songs. The stamp features a portrait of Melikian, with unidentified music in the background. AUSTRIA Scott 2067 Michel 2617 This stamp has been issued jointly by Austria and China on September 26, 2006.

  • Percorso Didattico Su “Le Nozze Di Figaro” Di Mozart a Cura Di Benedetta Toni
    Percorso didattico su “Le Nozze di Figaro” di Mozart a cura di Benedetta Toni Scopriamo i personaggi dell’opera e l’intreccio attraverso le arie di rilievo: Arie di rilievo Atto I - Cavatina: "Se vuol ballare, signor Contino" (Figaro) - Aria: "Non so più cosa son, cosa faccio" (Cherubino) - Aria: "Non più andrai, farfallone amoroso" (Figaro) Atto II - Cavatina: "Porgi, amor, qualche ristoro" (Contessa) - Canzone: "Voi che sapete" (Cherubino) - Aria: "Venite, inginocchiatevi" (Susanna) Atto III - Recitativo e Aria: "Hai già vinta la causa! – Vedrò mentr'io sospiro" (Conte) - Recitativo e Aria: "E Susanna non vien – Dove sono i bei momenti" (Contessa) Atto IV - Cavatina: "L'ho perduta" (Barbarina) - Recitativo e Aria: "Tutto è disposto – Aprite un po' quegl'occhi" (Figaro) - Recitativo e Aria: "Giunse alfin il momento – Deh, vieni, non tardar" (Susanna) ATTO PRIMO Scena II: Se vuol ballare, signor Contino - Cavatina (Figaro) - Allegretto (fa maggiore). Presto. Allegretto. Presto - 2 oboi, 2 fagotti, 2 corni, archi N. 3 Cavatina Mozart, destinando a Figaro ben tre Arie (nn. 3,10 e 27b), più che a tutti gli altri personaggi, evidenzia la sua superiorità: in quanto personaggio maschile positivo mostra la sua sensibilità a cedere con prontezza alla ragione femminile, espressa da Susanna, e tramite la donna amata, compie un percorso iniziatico in cui mette alla prova sia la sua capacità di relazionarsi con il mondo, sia il controllo dei suoi sentimenti e delle sue emozioni. La cavatina, o aria di sortita, è l’aria con cui ciascun personaggio dell’opera lirica si presenta in scena. In questa cavatina, il primo assolo dell’opera, Figaro mostra il coraggio che lo anima, progettando una strategia per contrastare le macchinazioni (tutte le macchine rovescerò) del Conte che vuole sedurre Susanna, la cameriera della Contessa sua promessa sposa.

  • Le Nozze Di Figaro
    Synopsis Act I A manor house near Seville, the 1930s. In a storeroom that they have been allocated, Figaro and Susanna, servants to the Count and Countess Almaviva, are preparing for their wedding. Figaro is furious when he learns from his bride that the count has tried to seduce her. He’s determined to have revenge on his master. Dr. Bartolo appears with his former housekeeper Marcellina, who is equally determined to marry Figaro. She has a contract: Figaro must marry her or repay the money that he borrowed from her. When Marcellina runs into Susanna, the two rivals exchange insults. Susanna returns to her room, and the count’s young page Cherubino rushes in. Finding Susanna alone, he speaks of his love for all the women in the house, particularly the countess. When the count appears, again trying to seduce Susanna, Cherubino hides, but when Don Basilio, the music teacher, approaches, the count conceals himself. Basilio tells Susanna that everyone knows that Cherubino has a crush on the countess. Outraged, the count steps forward, but he becomes even more enraged when he discovers Cherubino and realizes that the boy has overheard his attempts to seduce Susanna. He chases Cherubino into the great hall, encountering Figaro, who has assembled the entire household to sing the praises of their master. Put on the spot, the count is forced to bless the marriage of Figaro and Susanna. To spite them and to silence Cherubino, he orders the boy to join the army without delay. Figaro sarcastically sends Cherubino off into battle. Act II In her bedroom, the countess mourns the loss of love in her life.

  • Migrating Mozart, Or Life As a Substitute Aria in the Eighteenth Century
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Hochschulschriftenserver - Universität Frankfurt am Main Migrating Mozart, or Life as a Substitute Aria in the Eighteenth Century ISABELLE EMERSON Hikers, especially in difficult terrain, spend a lot of time looking down at the trail where, among the frequent sights, are deposits by various animals. These droppings, or scat, are packed with information about the local fauna. But they are also a significant factor in the distribution of flora, as animals and birds eat in one location and eliminate in another—a process of dissemination botanists term seed dispersal. The practice in the eighteenth century, of carrying one’s favorite arias around from opera to opera, strikes me as quite similar to this paradigm in nature: the singer ingests the aria in one location, and emits it in another. The result is significantly similar: the dispersal of the material over the geographical range of the carrier. * There has been a tendency to regard the substitute aria as not very welcome baggage, and to assess this practice and its near relative, the pastiche, as not quite respectable. I suggest that we look at the practice, not as detracting from the merits of its host work, but as a means of distribution of music. In the case of Mozart’s presence in London, this may be of some importance since none of his operas was staged in that city until 1806 (La clemenza di Tito)—fifteen years after his death. By that time, however, quite a bit of his operatic music, and many of his instrumental works, had been heard in London.
