Mozart

Piano Concerto No.17 K453 - Mariana Achba/Vakhtang Kakhidze

 

On May 27, 1784, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart bought a small starling in Vienna. It wasn't just a pet: this little bird had a special talent! Mozart soon realized that the bird repeated the melodies it heard with incredible accuracy, but not only that... it also added its own variations! One day, the starling sang the first 17 notes of Piano Concerto No. 17 in G major, K. 453, with some modifications: It added a musical coda in the first complete bar. It sang a G-sharp (G#) instead of a natural G (G) in the next bar. It is said that it was the starling's version that became the definitive version of the concerto. When his beloved bird died on June 4, 1787, Mozart organized a lavish funeral and even wrote a funeral poem, demonstrating the special bond he had with it. A genius who found inspiration everywhere... even in the feathers of a little starling!

 

 

Description

       “I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.” ― Anais Nin___

 If my high school art teacher and friend, Ms Kaage is out there, thank you for putting me onto this, as well as many other great songs. You were too unique for my town, and I've always appreciated your kindness to me when I was young. It was a tough time for me back then, and you treated me as a friend. I hope life has been kind to you.

 How great is that........I hope she gets your kind sweet message....

She's out there, and she heard your message! When they are from the heart like that, they always get delivered!!  

I have no words to describe how beautiful this song is to me right now, maybe later, but not now... 

brings back lovely memories to me and - I hope - to my friend then. still think of her, beautiful lady.
