Mozart?!

March 11th, 2008 by miss helen

Sigh… I wish there was some quick and easy rule on how to play Mozart. I know I’m not the only one who loves to listen to Mozart, yet is hesitant and reluctant to play it. Must I be a diva of some sort and force myself to come up with crazy imaginative dramatic episodes/dramas about whatevers to play Mozart well? (Yes, it was once one of my assignments for a Mozart sonata I had to learn when I was a Heifetz student in college). Am I scarred for life? Maybe I’m just too lazy. Okay, back to learning the G major Vln & Vla Duo.
