Mozart vs Chopin

Post by Atheist-Lite » Sat May 05, 2012 10:38 am

Don't know much about classical, a relative late arrival on the scene from a wasted heavy metal youth, but I find Mozart to be too fast paced, maybe he had smaller fingers or something to do with starting his musical career too early? Chopin appears for me to be more 'emotionaly mature' in the pieces I've heard. There is always a sense of 'argument' in Mozarts stuff which I can't stand in music for too long. Any classical experts got a more formulated opinion? :smoke:

Isn't the feeling of 'slightly too many e numbers' what is so brill about Mozart?

I'm no expert, and all I can say is that I love both Mozart's and Chopin's music. In the past few days I have listened to the Etudes twice and the Requiem several times. The tricks to appreciate either is to do nothing at all but listen to the music and to not even attempt to compare one to the other while listening. Losing yourself in the work like that will truly ... ahhhh

Ran out of words. Sorry.
