Horowitz plays Mozart piano concerto 23 2nd movement

my15minutes says...

sifted because atara posted Dinosaur Ballet which only uses the opening 40 sec, before the orchestra comes in, and i thought someone might like to hear the rest.

from the wiki:
The Piano Concerto No. 23 in A major (K. 488) is a musical composition for piano and orchestra written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It was finished, according to Mozart's own catalogue, on March 2, 1786, around the time of the premiere of his opera, The Marriage of Figaro. It was one of three subscription concerts given that spring and was probably played by Mozart himself at one of these.

The second, slow movement, in ternary form, is impassioned and somewhat operatic in tone. The piano begins alone with a theme characterized by unusually wide leaps. This is the only movement by Mozart in F sharp minor. The dynamics are soft throughout most of the piece. The middle of the movement contains a brighter section in A major announced by flute and clarinet that Mozart would later use to introduce the trio "Ah! taci ingiusto core!" in his opera Don Giovanni.

Don Giovanni Is Sent to Hell: Commendatore Scene (powerful)

Farhad2000 says...

In this scene an ominous knock sounds at the door. Leporello, paralyzed by fear, cannot answer, so Giovanni opens the door himself to reveal the statue of the Commendatore.

"Don Giovanni! a cenar teco m'invitasti - Don Giovanni! To dine with you you've invited me."

It exhorts the careless villain to repent of his wicked lifestyle, but Giovanni adamantly refuses. The statue sinks into the earth and drags Giovanni with him. Hellfire surrounds Don Giovanni as he is carried below.

Donna Anna, Don Ottavio, Donna Elvira, Zerlina, and Masetto arrive, searching for the villain. They find instead Leporello under the table, shaken from the horror he has witnessed, which he describes to the others. The concluding chorus delivers the moral of the opera - "So ends he who evil did. The death of a sinner always reflects their life."

Don Giovanni (literally "The Punished Rake, or Don Giovanni") is an opera in two acts with music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte. It was premiered in the Estates Theatre in Prague on October 29, 1787. Don Giovanni is widely regarded as one of the greatest pieces of music ever composed, and of the many operas based on the legend of Don Juan, Mozart's is thought to be beyond comparison. The opera was billed as dramma giocoso or "playful drama", belonging to a genre neither completely comic nor completely tragic.

Rickegee, truly a man after my own heart... I get chills whenever I see this scene.

"Amadeus" - Great Moments In Cinema

Farhad2000 says...

Amadeus is a 1984 film directed by Miloš Forman and based on the stage play Amadeus. It won eight Oscars in 1984.

In this scene, Salieri, now residing in a mental home recalls the first time he came across Motzart's music to a Priest.

The stage play was written in 1979 by Peter Shaffer, and was inspired by "Mozart and Salieri", a short play by Aleksandr Pushkin (later adapted into an opera of the same name by Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov), which was in turn based loosely on the lives of the composers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri.

Another of my favorites. I must say that F. Murray Abraham is a criminally underrated actor.
