Anyone who doesn’t like Mozart’s music doesn’t like music.
Name of the piece?
For the first 30 years of my life, I hated classical music. At least, I thought I hated it. But no longer.
That’s you, But I know people who have been exposed to it but still don’t evern listen to it.
Thats you, but I know people who have been exposed to it but still dont ever listen to it.
Okay, I don’t do this much. Put the divertimento away.

This is a piano concerto. more than one movement but just watch the first.
Here’s what to watch for.
1) The pretty filipina looking 1st violin plays from her waist, but also she’s having fun at 4:00.
2) At 2:50, lean back because Wolfgang is telling you a story
3) A film editor that knows the piece.
4) 4:46 Wolfgang lets your ears rest for the beauty at 5:15.
5) 7:20 he prepares 200 years of terrified pianists for what is about to be demanded of them

Thanks for posting....got it on the desktop speakers and sounds very nice.
Wouldn’t that be necrophilia?
And he probably smells bad by now.
;)
Youtube allows only 15.2 minutes of music video without going through lot of step. So I condensed 15 minutes of music (parts I liked most) from a 6+ hour recorded concert.
Thank you for listening.
Thank you for listening, made it a worthwhile posting.
Thank you for listening! Great music to relax. I listen to it when going to bed.

You are correct.
I was mostly indifferent, at best, to classical music, with a partial exception for melodic Romantics like Tchaikovsky, until age 44. I was (and am) a pop guy at heart - especially The Beach Boys.
When I was laid off, I went back to school and took some music classes. All I wanted to do was set my own verse to music. One thing led to another...
I am now a semi-professional chorister who has sung many Mozart pieces while performing in very exclusive ensembles that have toured, and even competed, in Europe. Once I had established my bona fides, I was also selected for such special extravaganzas as Star Wars in Concert, and The Lord of the Rings in concert, both before many thousands in major venues.
The truth is that such music is a new - and sophisticated -
language to the uninitiate. Like any foreign language, no matter how fluent the speaker, it will sound like gibberish to the ignorant hearer.
Ironically, I first heard such a choir before my journey began, as a guest of a friend who was a classical musician. It was a world-famous ensemble (which garnered Choir of the World honors in international competition a few years later). I objectively appreciated their skill, but the music did not affect me personally. I was actually a bit bored. Twenty years later, I was singing in that very ensemble under the same conductor. Life is strange.
My path to appreciating Mozart was via his predecessor and mentor, Papa Haydn, who effectively invented the symphony, and whom I, a low brow, found more immediately accessible.
I have sung the Requiem (K.626) several times, but my favorite piece, both to sing and to hear, is Ave verum corpus (K.618).
Thank you.
