Sometimes
your lives will orchestrate - such that your past is an introduction and your future is an epilogue - to bring about one single moment, which is so powerfully beautiful that everything around is not upstaged but perfected.

Serenade No. 10 by Mozart. I like that note too.
*blink*
You, my anonymous fellow, are completely fucking awesome.
Might I observe that it would be more awesome to cite correctly and give the Köchel number, the key (B flat major), the nickname (Gran Partita) and so on. At least anonymous didn't invoke that pig Schaeffer.
Heck, that's deep. It almost made me regurgitate my tonsils.
Swain: True, but could you identify the piece just from a small, scanned score of what could've been anything? I really didn't expect anybody to (and didn't think its identity was important to my point, hence no citation in the post; may Mozart have mercy on my soul).
PS re: Shaffer, I actually liked Amadeus, even though it was an almost total fabrication of history. I thought it gave back to the music as much as it took, however inadvertantly. Equus, though...
Well, yes I did, but only because I played the clarinet once upon a time, but the excerpt you show is a bit of a give-away: the first bar of horns and bassoons, the instrumentation, the key, the adagio marking, etc
Mind you, I played the psaltery once...
Even accounting for the psaltery, you are fucking awesome.
Yessss. One single moment.
As a fellow music addict, I LOVE THIS and can relate so much to it.
And nice call on the Mozart;)
Thanks NotCarrie, always a pleasure to meet fellow Mozart-lovers. Apparently this year is "the 250th anniversary of Mozart", though I visited Salzburg last year and they were celebrating it then as well. Strange.
Still, it all makes for good concerts.
Yeah I think it's a celebration that's going to last awhile longer, too. I think he's deserving.
