POST NUMBER ON THIS THREAD
Number 200
'Who taught Mozart music' ?
'Why was Mozart famous in 1763 and 1764' ?
Number 202
You say the Archbishop of Salzburg allowed Mozart to represent Salzburg when on tour. Can you give us a single example of Mozart doing so ? Just one ?
Number 206
Please give us proof W.A. Mozart was representing Salzburg at any time during the 7 years of his childhood tours of Europe.
Number 209
Can you provide evidence that W.A. Mozart was ''representing Salzburg'' from 1773 onwards ?
Number 220
1. Who was paid 450 Florins by Josef 2nd ?
2. When ?
3. For what ?
Number 243
Which 'experts' are you refering to ?
Where did Mozart go to school ? If at all.
When did Mozart learn music ?
Who taught him composition ? If at all.
Can you give a list of 'his' compositions up to, say, his teenage years, that stands cross-examination ? You can choose any year you like. Can it get more simple ?
Can you admit his music entrance exam to Bologna (1770) was faked ? An article on this by Bianchini has already been posted here.
Can you name a single public concert given by W.A. Mozart in his home city of Salzburg ? At any time in his whole life ?
Can you tell us when Mozart studied keyboard playing ? And under which teacher ?
Have you actually examined the alleged musical career of Mozart in any detail ?
Contemporary writers on music (such as JN Forkel, Da Ponte, Koch and others), all show 'Mozart' was virtually unknown, even in Vienna, during his last decade. Contrary to the fairy story. Do you want their statements on this ?. Do their statements mean anything to you ?
Number 256
And what is 'outrageous' about the theory that George Onslow was with L v Beethoven (1770-1827) in Vienna ?
Number 260
'Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail'. That music is not by Mozart. So said contemporary writers including those present at its premiere. Did you know this ?
As for Le Nozze di Figaro (1786) have you examined this subject, at all ?
Will you please go to the Austrian National Library to look at the score of the opera held there which dates from the premiere itself ?
The contemporary writers of the time (e.g. those who wrote on music in the 1780's) strangely do not list 'Le Nozze di Figaro' as being an opera by W.A. Mozart. Strange, isn't it ?
You may be aware of several arias composed for Cosi fan tutte by a certain composer named Antonio Salieri ?
Number 262
On what evidence (that is, on what verifiable evidence) do you believe in the story of W.A. Mozart, 'musical genius' ?
Number 280
You DO look at both sides, don't you ?
Number 282
You believe Padre Martini taught Mozart because, well, everyone says Padre Martini taught Mozart. Can you provide some actual evidence ?
