The Musical Genius of Mozart

What is it in Mozart’s music that makes it among the most sublime ever written? What personal traits did Mozart possess that enabled him to create music of this extraordinary quality?

Using live music and video clips from operas, as well as from the film Amadeus, we will explore the enormous diversity of Mozart’s music. At the same time, by examining color photographs of his autograph manuscripts and draft sketches, we will witness Mozart’s attention to the smallest detail. Having explored his music in both breadth and depth, our attention turns finally to the enablers of Mozart’s genius: genetic gifts, mentoring, motivation, concentration, self-confidence, and just plain luck. By the end of this session, we will come to see that not only is Mozart’s music great, but Mozart himself was unique, and arguably the most extraordinary creator ever to set foot on this planet.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_column_text]Learn More About and Purchase Professor Wright’s new book, The Hidden Habits of Genius by clicking here![/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_separator type=”normal”][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”376779″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
