Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 1756 -1791
Mozart, whom his sister recounted as picking out
thirds on the family clavier at the age of three for the pleasure of
it, has been described as achieving miracles of sound across every
emotion. Indeed one runs out of superlatives trying to do justice to
the quality and originality of his compositions and the abundance of
output. Anyone learning about his relatively short life must also pay
tribute to his resolve and courage.
I've noticed during my
time in bands that the music I like sparks creativity, and the lovely
theme from the Kyrie of the Mass in C minor spawned a lot of ideas
once I'd decided to write something for guitar using it. Mozart's
harmonies seem both exclusive and perfect, and I can't imagine my
musical life without them. I got to know the Mass when I looked after
Nigel's place while he was away, as it was in his record collection.
My good friend died (of bone cancer) not long after that, and the
Fantasy is a homage to him.
