Well, I don't know any piece by heart, but Mozart goes something like this... What do you think?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For anyone who doesn't have that connection with Mozart, I urge those people to go and find some of his music, because it can quite genuinely make you just glad to be alive.
I think a great piece, whenever it was written, gets under our skin, makes us feel something. That's what Beethoven was trying to do.
Mozart had a tremendously fertile and creative ear for a catchy tune.
My proposition is that music is at the heart of what 'The Magic Flute' means: that it's Mozart's music, not the words, we should be attending to. Music expresses what can't be expressed otherwise.
As many times as I have done 'Marriage of Figaro,' I have never been able to ask Mozart what he intended in this piece.
When you first hear Mozart's music, your first impression is that it's very alive, but if you peel away the layers, you can hear sorrow and sadness behind it, and that's what I try to be: multi-layered.
It's an extraordinary thing about Mozart is that you never tire of him... he never bores me, and he doesn't... not only bore me, that's too strong a word.
Mozart makes us care about people in flashes of lightning.
Mozart is sweet sunshine.
If Mozart were around now he would write a killer rock song.
