An approach to Mozart?s Minuet no. 06, applying a questionnaire proposed by Lewis Rowell, in his book Thinking about Music (09-19)

          Our first step is to answer at least two of the several questions proposed by Rowell (09-13) concerning on the thing itself. “Mozart’s minuet no. 06 was adjusted in accordance with Haydn style. They were conceived as dances, because they didn’t follow the form of the symphony. It was a dancing music, which marked the beginning of Mozart’s career as a precursor of waltz. [Erman 51] “His name of baptism, however is Johannes Chrysostomos Wolfgangus Theophilus.” If we take the concept of Minuet, it’s possible to conclude, it was a traditional French dance in a ¾ compass, characterized by delicate movements. [Sinzig 374] “…this dance was performed by pairs, demanding elegance and distinction”.  It was very popular in Louis XIV’s court, becoming famous in Europe in XVII e XVIII. It generally used as a third movement in a classic symphony.The piece exists as a derivation of the original melody of German Dances, and it has the dignity of the big symphonies after the composer’s success.” 02 By listening this piece one can question the way it was received in terms of source, transmission and receiver(s). Whatever we could be informed about Mozart is that he really could get the feelings of the audience since he was a child. Of course his father conduced him to the way of music, and his mother followed his career even traveling with him. Mozart said once, to have played for the chairs. He’s fallen in love, got married and this fact is followed by success in his career, after becoming a member of Weber’s family. (See question no. 06).

Play Music Like You’re the Best

Everyone wants to play music. And why not, with music being considered a significant part of man’s way of life even way back during the time of Ancient Greece (that’s 8th century BC!), the urge to connect to it being strong is justifiably acceptable. And conventional.

 

However, perhaps for the sheer thought of music being a definitive factor in our existence, it’s not a little less of an expectation for us to take it seriously. Right? Right. Not that we should put it on a pedestal, side by side the saints we worship, and make a weeklong holiday for its sake. Playing it correctly will do.

 

You see, this is actually what separates the true musician from the rest: that he/she carries music with dignity everywhere he/she goes. Now if you, like the many other members of the global populace, would want to study and play music, and give it importance the same way professional musicians do, the first thing to do is…to study and play music, the proper way.
