Why let your obvious political talent be wasted along with your excellent musicology broths Robert?Quote:

Yanni,
The only waste would be to divert our attention from the subject of this thread which is, as you know, 'The Manufacture of Mozart'. Perhaps THERE'S the politics, Yanni ? But 200 years of obfuscation, invention and fiction are not removed in a day, or even a few days, are they Yanni ?
Some music from the kind hearted, generous, open minded and free spirited people of Greece -
Opa ! Opa ! The friendly people of Greece.

Alternatively, here is an article on Rousseau and his influence on theology by one of the most prominent 20th cent theologists, Karl Barth:
http://intellectusfidei.blogspot.com...-rousseau.html
Ah, yes ! And the Caribbean islands were disputed by both France and Britain in the 18th century. (Including Guadeloupe where St. George came from). From 1759 to 1763 that island was in the hands of the British colonialists (i.e. during the time of St George's early childhood). The island finally ending up in the hands of the French. Yet another example of the East India Companies and their role in the history of music. St. George's father was in fact an estate holder on the island of Gaudeloupe.
It's surprising how people say, 'Ah, but that is Mozart's style. When, in fact, the style we know as 'Mozart' belonged to numerous composers although they and their music are virtually unknown today.
As for Gossec, well, (cough, cough !) he was involved in the careers of both St Germain and Mozart. Indeed, the 'Mozart Requiem' is built on the design of Gossec. And Gossec (like so many of the first professors of the Paris Conservatory of Music) had a role in the music of Mozart, and even of Beethoven.
Chevalier de St George. Chevalier Mozart. etc.

One is static while the other is dynamic. And which, to me, exposes the silliness of dogmatic conservatistism. There is a season for everything. As for the others, they are still analysing the platform and the ticket office !

As a philosophy Buddhism is interesting. But it is not and never has been a religion. Has it ?

Maestro's Sax selection of primadona, Mme Papandreckulla from Transylvania , has truly enchanted the Peking audience in particular. At a discount of about 10%, tickets worth some 50 billion US dollars (equivalent) have already been sold there.
An amazing performance!

Cheers!
OK Yanni,
Thanks for your input. And for that of others.

If you don't mind, I would rather "end Mozart" with oboe:
How about this little piece by youknowwho-"Cimarosa" aka "Casanova" (aka "Giuseppe Maria Diodatti" too. For his detailed biography see http://www.classicsonline.com/compos...Maria_Diodati/):
