Mozart
Hello,
A late reply, but its been a while since i have been on this forum.
Adagio, i'm happy to read about your affection with Mozart. I have exactly the same thing. Even, it runs in the family...
My grandmother (at my father's side)
used to listen and talk about Mozart all the time, as if she knew him.
She would often say to my father and myself "Mozart was a great man, wasn't he, and so handsome he was..." She was even angry at the movie "Amadeus'' telling us, that the man playing Mozart, was not much like Mozart at all...
I was very young back then, so i could not talk to her much about it, but i was her favorite grandchild, and she saw a connection between Mozart and me.
When i was little...I had those weird visions...
Hard to explain, but at one point, i saw hedges and a stream of water, and along the hedges i would see little men (puppets in a row or something? no clue what it was) with red coats and white wigs on...
And the feeling i have, like i know this man are very deep. I am a singer myself, finished my degree in classical singing a while ago at the music academy, so i always had a big interest for music. But the classical music only started later, its not something from my childhood and there was nobody who could influence me, as my parents were not musical at all.
I don't know what it is...lately i also start to remember things, but i doubt myself so much that i deny it could be real. Who wouldn't want to know Mozart? I think pretty much anyone would want to know him,
so who am i to say that i did or not... but there is a deep attraction, i don't know what.
I don't know if i may say this, because its such a long time ago, i was a child back then and i'm not sure what is true about this, but 'as far' as i can remember. When i was in school to get music lessons as a child the teacher would mention "Mozart" and there was a bell ringing in my ear like "Hmmm, i know that name!"
Also, when i was even younger, i would recognize the name 'weber' and say it. As you might know, the Webers were close to Mozart as his wife Constanze was a Weber, and his first love Aloysia. I don't know... but i feel close to him, and i don't know why either.
