莫札特 (奇才音樂家)
沃夫岡·阿瑪迪斯·莫札特(德語:Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart,1756年1月27日-1791年12月5日),出生於薩爾茲堡,逝世於維也納,是歐洲最偉大的古典主義音樂作曲家之一,他也是一位共濟會成員。 35歲便英年早逝的莫札特,留下的重要作品總括當時所有的音樂類型。根據當代的考證顯示,在鋼琴和小提琴相關的創作,他無疑是一個天份極高的藝術家,譜出的協奏曲、奏鳴曲、交響曲、小夜曲、嬉遊曲等等成為後來古典音樂的主要形式,他同時也是歌劇的專家,成就至今仍能順應時代的變遷而不朽。此外其作曲風格兼具旋律及藝術性,悅耳而活潑開朗,令其作品地位足與巴赫及貝多芬相提並論,亦讓人感受到音樂由巴洛克時期轉向古典主義時期的不同。 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791), baptised as Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart, was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical era. Mozart showed prodigious ability from his earliest childhood. Already competent on keyboard and violin, he composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty. At 17, he was engaged as a court musician in Salzburg, but grew restless and travelled in search of a better position, always composing abundantly. While visiting Vienna in 1781, he was dismissed from his Salzburg position. He chose to stay in the capital, where he achieved fame but little financial security. During his final years in Vienna, he composed many of his best-known symphonies, concertos, and operas, and portions of the Requiem, which was largely unfinished at the time of his death. The circumstances of his early death have been much mythologized. He was survived by his wife Constanze and two sons. He composed over 600 works, many acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, concertante, chamber, operatic, and choral music. He is among the most enduringly popular of classical composers, and his influence on subsequent Western art music is profound; Beethoven composed his own early works in the shadow of Mozart, and Joseph Haydn wrote that "posterity will not see such a talent again in 100 years." |
