Teacher:
-The task for the third group of students: You’ll read some more interesting information about Mozart and tell everybody you have learned about this great composer.
- When Mozart was a small boy he played the clavier and the violin, but he was afraid of the trumpet very much. He didn’t like the sound of this instrument. One day his father decided to suppress his son’s fear of the trumpet and began playing it to his face. Hardly had little Wolfgang heard such a deafening sound he fainted. His father decided not to make him play the trumpet any more.
- Here is an announcement of the concert, which was given by Mozart and his sister in Paris, “Today, on August 30, 1763, at 6 p.m. the last concert will take place: a girl of 12 years old and her brother of seven years old will play the clavier. The girl will perform the most difficult compositions of famous masters and the boy will play the violin and will perform the clavier concerto and also will play blindfolded so well as if he can see the keyboard perfectly, then he will imitate all the sounds emitted with different instruments or things such as bells, glasses, alarm-clocks. And at last he will play the organ as much as the audience wishes since he can do it perfectly.”
- When Mozart was twelve he started composing operas. Famous composers and musicians of that time, who had admired Mozart’s talent before, were afraid of his great success, they saw a serious rival in him and began spreading the news that it was his father not the boy himself who wrote operas. They hated him and became the Mozarts’ enemies. It was very difficult to prove the public that it was really young Wolfgang who composed such beautiful operas. The tunes from his opera “The Marriage of Figaro” could be heard everywhere. People loved the opera, it became the folk music. Later, in1875, when Mozart’s opera “The Marriage of Figaro” was suggested to be staged in Moscow Conservatory, Pyotr Tchaikovsky, an outstanding Russian composer, made the translation of the text of it into Russian. It was a very difficult work. Since that time people of Russia have been enjoying Mozart’s opera in Russian. Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky valued Mozart very much. One day he said, “I am much indebted to Mozart that I’ve devoted my life to music. He was the first who made me love music most of all in my life”.
- Mozart died very suddenly after a short illness. Rumors had it that he had been poisoned, but it is more likely that he had a weak heart. He died so poor that only the gravedigger attended his funeral. There are many legends around Mozart’s death/ They say two weeks before his death a man in black visited him anonymously and ordered him to write a requiem. Mozart agreed because he needed money badly. He was a romantic and impressionable man. He felt sure that it was his death. The visitor in black was just a certain count who wanted to publish the requiem as his own composition.
Teacher:
