So You Think You Know Your Mozart?

10/10 really easy. I know some pieces to make it a lot harder.

There are some early Mozart pieces we only recently found out he did not compose. They found the music in his handwriting, but have now found out they were composed by others and he wrote them down to study them. You'll find them on some LPs and CDs as Mozart, but they are not. I did see a CD release of an old recording where they left the music on and put a ** with a footnote in the CD booklet. Good music to listen to anyway featuring a less know composer.

First two movements of Beethoven's first symphony sounds like Mozart. Obviously his early idol.

There is a lot of Haydn that is closer than the one they picked. (Mozart's mentor).

My Quiz Question......Why couldn't Mozart find his teacher???
.
.
Answer....Because he was Haydn
.

It is great to see interest in his music and classical music in general as it spans generations and centuries. I have no doubt that when the real Enterprise is exploring the universe they will still be listening to Mozart.

10/10. The only challenging one was the snippet from Haydn's Surprise Symphony.

I'll give my 9 year old son the quiz later and report back (if he does well!).

The nuns are going to come after me with a ruler. I got the Requiem wrong! And after all those years in boys chior!

0/10 :(
