“You go too fast, one moment please!”

[MrGlamour]

"The violins DOUBLE the voices!"

[Dan-hcow]

"Do you believe it?"
"What"
"Fire that never ends. Burning you forever."
"Oh, yes."

[ahmadsho]

>LISTEN TO ME
>I DON'T UNDERSTAND
>TRUMPETS IN D, TONIC AND DOMINANT, 1ST AND 3RD BEATS
IT GOES WITH THE HARMONY

[saveliyadaev]

Listening to this piece I noticed that violins double the voices. At some point I thought that I don’t understand and it’s going too fast, but in the end it all goes with a harmony

[adnanbezerra]

to think he actually wrote it as if it was for himself, since he died soon after... it's just so spiritually profound, and truly hits the bottom of your soul

[shin-i-chikozima]

There is no requiem more solemn and magnificent and inspirational than Mozart’s requiem

[massielpty]

When you listen to this wonderful orchestra, you feel that it transports you to another universe, it is as if it will connect your soul with everything inexplicable.

[richardmusic]

"YES! YES! I UNDERSTAND. AND THAT'S ALL?" NO! NO! NOT FOR THE REAL FIRE"

[didesigner]

only in great happiness or great sorrow and suffering great minds can create such masterpieces

[timothybailey]

Bah dah bum bum bum
Bah dah bum bum bum. IT'S WONDERFUL!

[carbilicon]

There is nothing and there will not be anything like this ever again. This is the music of the end of the world, of the birth of the universe, of a heavy heart, of love and of death. Give pause and listen to the music of eternity.

[williamgallop]

Confutatis maledictis,
Flammis acribus addictis.
How'd you translate that?
--Consieged in the flames of woe.
-Do you believe in it?
--What?
-Fire that never dies, burning you forever?
--Oh yes.

[Gonzalez_MX]

"Do you believe it? - Oh yes!"

[Sevastous]

The best part of this composition that it start violent end it ends with harmonic slow fade. And second row violins at the end carry the burden that normally SATB fulfill. complimenting each other

[onceamusician]

to all those who are quoting the movie Amadeus you do know, i hope that this was pure fiction.

Saleri did NOT poison Mozart

[willardfasto]

The greatest of all music.
Why? Because for the most part they had to invent all this so many methods, devices, and ideas and the musicians of that era had to invent most of it.

[perritovision]

"First bassons and a trombone what? "

[GIguy]

Am I the only to have one heard the entire requiem, completed to the very end in their heads? Long ago, when I was headed for a very different career path, I would write symphonic scores, unfortunately, cancer had of their plans for me. I’m 54 now, combined with severe Crohn’s disease I’ve spent my entire adult life hospitalized, and have played countless symphonies in my mind, but this, in particular, desperately needs to be completed, because Mozart never had the chance. My only question is, at 54 years old, would anybody even entertain my writing to complete this piece? Like the movie, I see the music in my mind, I simply write it down, but how do I get anyone to take it seriously? I’m only described it to a few people, who all thought it was incredible, but I would never say that. Nothing could ever compare to Mozart or the other classical geniuses. I’m just a man in Toronto who survived 37 surgeries, and four relapses of intestinal cancer, but the music is still in me, question now is, what do I do to get an orchestra to play it for me before I die? It’s been an obsession, since I was a child, ever since I heard this piece. I instantly knew how it was supposed to be completed. I know that sounds absurd, but I’m in Ernest, that’s exactly what happened when I was 10 years old. I received several scholarships when I was 16 to start studying at university (I skipped a few grades), that’s when the cancer started, I’m stable for the moment. They removed 95% of my entire G.I. tract, there’s nothing else they can do, so this is something I must do before I die. So I’m asking you, any thoughts on how I can get this piece published and played before I have to leave this world behind? Many thanks and kindest regards.

Dumb question.... what is he holding? I mean in the literal sense. Just a piece of 1/4" wood rod? Do they special order them? Can you go to guitar center and purchase a 1/4" unicorn horn wood?

Do conductors HATE certain wood types or manufacturers? Olympic swimmers shave their legs to cut hundredths of a second off. Do conductors (sp?) complain because their magic wand had too high of a drag coefficient and therefore caused his timing to be off?
