Classical music composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
My Mozart Requiem can still be heard at www.facebook.com/pages/SmallStudio/145838032109343
A few days ago I received the message shown below in reference to the video on this page:
"Your video, Mozart Requiem , may include content that is owned or administered by these entities:
Entity: Music Publishing Rights Collecting Society Content Type: Musical Composition
What should I do?
No action is required on your part. Your video is still available worldwide. In some cases ads may appear next to your video."
Put simply, adverts will now be shown on this page and produce revenue for a third party that has claimed my work as their own. Every aspect, apart from the composition which resides in the public domain, was my own work. Under these circumstances I have removed the audio from YouTube.
Sorry for the inconvenience. The full version can still be heard on my artists page www.facebook.com/pages/SmallStudio/145838032109343

Mozart Piano Concerto No 9 First Mvt Mitsuko Uchida
Mitsuko Uchida plays piano and Jeffrey Tate conducts the Mozarteum Orchestra in Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 9 "Jeunehomme", in E flat major, K. 271.
A Saltzburg Festival performance, recorded in the Mozarteum, Saltzburg, 1989
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed this concerto in Salzburg, 1777. Though only 21 years old, he displayed great maturity and originality in
what is regarded by many as his first great masterpiece.
It was composed for a Mlle. Jeunehomme, of whom very little is known (such as--her first name!). But she must have been a very
fine pianist to be able to perform this! The mix of dramatic and intense emotions, some seemingly mad and anguished with parts of
joy and happiness suggest (one romantically feels) that Mlle. Jeunehomme must have been quite a handful for the young Mozart.
1. Allegro, in E flat major and common (C) time
2. Andantino, in C minor and 3/4 time
3. Rondo (Presto), in E flat major and 2/2 time
Dawn Chan notes:
Renowned pianist Alfred Brendel has referred to Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 9, known as the Jeunehomme, as a "wonder of the world," going so far as to assert that Mozart "did not surpass this piece in the later piano concertos."

WHAT'S IN A NAME?
Countless beloved pieces of so-called classical music have a nickname, often one not given by the composer. Mozart would have no idea what the "Jupiter" Symphony is, Beethoven the "Emperor" Concerto or "Moonlight" Sonata, or Schubert the "Unfinished" Symphony. The names sometimes come from savvy publishers who know they can improve sales, or from impresarios, critics, or performers. The case of the Concerto we hear today is particularly interesting, and only recently explained. Little is known of the genesis or first performance of the E-flat Concerto. Twentieth-century accounts usually stated that Mozart composed it for a French keyboard virtuoso named Mademoiselle Jeunehomme, who visited Salzburg in the winter of 1777. Nothing else was known, not even the woman's first name.
Last year, the Viennese musicologist Michael Lorenz, a specialist in the music of Mozart's and Schubert's time and a brilliant archival detective, figured out the mystery. The nickname was coined by the French scholars Théodore de Wyzewa and Georges de Saint-Foix in their classic early-20th-century study of the composer. As Lorenz explains, "Since one of their favorite names for Mozart was 'jeune homme' (young man), they presented this person as 'Mademoiselle Jeunehomme.'"
In a September 1778 letter Mozart wrote to his father, he referred to three recent concertos, "one for the jenomy [K. 271], litzau [K. 246], and one in B-flat [K. 238]" that he was selling to a publisher. Leopold later called the first pianist "Madame genomai." (Spellings were often variable and phonetic at the time.) Lorenz has identified her as Victoire Jenamy, born in Strasbourg in 1749 and married to a rich merchant, Joseph Jenamy, in 1768. Victoire was the daughter of the celebrated dancer and choreographer Jean Georges Noverre (1727-1810), who was a good friend of Mozart's. He had choreographed a 1772 Milan production of Mozart's opera Lucio Silla and later commissioned the ballet Les Petits Riens for Paris. Although we still know little about Victoire Jenamy—she does not appear to have been a professional musician, though clearly Mozart admired her playing—Mozart's first great piano concerto can now rightly be called by its proper name: "Jenamy."

Scored for: SATB Choir SATB Soloists 2 Fagoti 2 Basset Horns 2 Trumpets in D 3 Trombones (ATB) Timpani Strings (2 Violin, Viola, Cello) Baso Continuo and Organo Movements: Introitus Kyrie Dies Irae Tuba Mirum Rex Tremendae Recordare Confutatis Maledictis Lacrimosa Domine Iesu Christe Hostias Sanctus Benedictus Agnus Dei Lux Aeterna Possibly the most mysterious classical work ever writ, this mass is not truly of Mozart by himself, but a collaboration between four composers: Sussmayer, Eybler, Freystadler, and Mozart himself. After falling ill, Mozart passed away during the writing of the Requiem- his final pieces written were bars 1-8 of the "Lacrimosa" (26:29). From there, Freystadler placed in a ninth and tenth measure, while Eybler worked on the Offertorium movements (Domine Iesu, Hostias). Soon after, the two composers abandoned the Requiem, leaving it to Sussmayer, a close friend and former pupil of the Court Composer, Antonio Salieri, to see to the completion of the mass. He removed the "Freystadler Measures" from the lacrimose, and completed the mass, claiming the Agnus Dei and Sanctus to his own hand. The rest is believed to be completed using "Scraps of Paper" left by Mozart, which had sketches for the remaining movements. Mozart's cause of death is still unknown. Since <b>...</b>

Fauré - Requiem (Op. 48) - Pie Jesu
Gabriel Urbain Fauré (12 May 1845 4 November 1924) was a French composer, organist, pianist, and teacher. He was the foremost French composer of his generation, and his musical style influenced many 20th century composers. His harmonic and melodic language affected how harmony was later taught. Gabriel Fauré is regarded as the master of the French art song, or mélodie. His works ranged from an early romantic style, when in his early years he emulated the style of Mendelssohn and others, to late 19th century Romantic, and finally to a 20th century aesthetic. His work was based on a strong understanding of harmonic structures which he received at the École Niedermeyer from his harmony teacher Gustave Lefèvre, who wrote the book Traité d'harmonie (Paris, 1889), in which Lefèvre sets forth a harmonic theory which differs significantly from the classical theory of Jean-Philippe Rameau in that seventh and ninth chords are no longer considered dissonant, and the mediant can be altered without changing the mode. In addition, Fauré's understanding of the church modes can be seen in various modal passages in his works, especially in his melodies. In contrast with his harmonic and melodic style, which pushed the bounds for his time, Fauré's rhythmic motives tended to be subtle and repetitive, with little to break the flow of the line, although he did utilize subtle large scale syncopations, similar to those found in Brahms's works. Aaron Copland referred to him as the 'French Brahms <b>...</b>
