Day Seventeen--Mostly Mozart

A further discussion of the music of Mozart ensued with some listening moments including his 40th symphony and selections from The Magic Flute. All incredible music combining tremendous craft with great expression and creativity. Mozart's late music demonstrates maturity of ability, balance, and originality catapulting him to a rightful place among the finest composers in history. A performance of Fritz Wunderlich singing Tamino's aria should be required listening for all people! Stunning beauty of line and form. Certainly one of the greatest tenors of all time.

We then jumped into some practice tests for the upcoming MFAT exam. I encourage you to study each test, look at www.lcsproductions.net and begin to put together the totality of music ranging from a complete knowledge of music history to music theory.

Blog entries now will be minimal as we get into the nitty gritty of the test. Let's make it happen!
