greetings, eastman_grad!  can you explain to me the meaning of your quote:  'anyone can write two bars of mozart, but only mozart can write three.'  i'm just a little confused.  i'm counting bars here and something strikes me as strange (unless it's a fantasie)  -because mozart typically - and i could be wrong- was extremely symmetrical in his writing.  now...haydn on the other hand.....  susan

[thalbergmad]

OH NO

It means that many people can write two bars that sound like Mozart. After that, however, his inventive genius becomes more and more transparent and thus, more difficult to mimic. This is true no matter what phrase structure Mozart used. Also, it's not my quotation.

Just an aside: I think that if you looked more closely at the music itself, rather than what other people have said about it, you'd discover many interesting asymmetries. Yes, the phrase structure AT THE BEGINNING of a work often proceeds symmetrically, but Mozart often alters this when material is presented in a different context.

Best,

Having just listened to all the Clementi Sonatas, i am convinced that he was superior to Mozart in this particular genre.

I think the quotation is intended as a general remark concerning any great composer, not just Mozart. BTW, which genre are you talking about?

[thalbergmad]

The sonata form.

Thal

[eastman_grad]

The sonata form.

Ah, ok. Danke.

Isn't this similar to the "Introduction" topic?

G.W.K

[morningstar]

It is rather. This better not turn out like the other Hey Everyone thread...

[pianoplayer88]

Why did you even bring that up? 

[tanman]

isn't there already the sticky introduction thread?
why won't people just use that?

[pianoplayer88]

The other Hey Everyone thread wasn't really an introduction. I made it because I had been gone for about a month because my computer wouldn't let me get on here and I announced my return....Not that anyone really cared.

I've been a member for over a year...

No idea. Would be nice though, this is just clutter.

Ach is scottish slang...perhaps it is an actual word in German, but it is meant in an entirely different context here, along with "ya".

"Away ye go ya wee bairn!"

I need to think of something better to write...LOL
