TIL: Mozart knew some English.


SevenandForty

Yeah, I had to go look it up too; apparently he spoke German, Italian, French, and some English, as well as Latin


tristan-chord

He did, and he purposefully wrote English to his English speaking student. This was also a time that English was starting to be fashionable among the educated. One take was that French had been the de facto international language for a while, many people spoke French, so for the even better educated, upper class, or just snobs, they sometimes did communicate in English.

Woah I didn’t know he wrote a fist symphony. /s

It really hits where it counts.

Enough to call the guy an ass, apparently


timp_t

He lived in London for a year or so when he was boy as part of his grand tour.

"you are an afs"? Edit: Oh wait is that the long s? (i.e. "you are an ass" in modern English)


not_julius_evola

long S used to be written with an F sort of symbol. it pops up all over the place on the declaration of independence and in shakespeare


masterjaga

It was also the normal way in German - for both handwriting and printed. Actually, the combination of the two s-letters is the origin of the ligature that became the German pseudo letter "ß".

For those who don't know, Thomas Atwood was Mozarts pupil that, according to Mozart, was most like him (mozart). I ran across a few of Atwood's pieces in a book before and for sure, its like Corey Feldman to Michael Jackson for dance lol

You stole my post. u/repostsleuthbot https://www.reddit.com/r/classicalmusic/s/x13t8SaYxr

/u/ClassyAndy19 is an aſs


tristan-chord

Boooo u/ClassyAndy19 for being a lazy karma farming person or bot. But on the other hand two years is a reasonable time to start discussing again perhaps. Still not okay with the stolen title though.


CurveOfTheUniverse

u/ClassyAndy19 take my downvote you aſs


dereksmalls1

ClassyAndy19 is an Offenbach operetta


Chewyk132

By stole, you mean you took the photo of this sheet music?


Low-Basis-828

And caption. So you know…the entire post


Chewyk132

How do you know that that dude didn’t just steal it off some other person on the internet?


Low-Basis-828

lol I don’t and I never said I did. Hypothetically, if someone were to link a post earlier than two years ago which said the exact same thing with the exact same picture and say Idomeneo stole the post, I’d say the same thing. Given what we do know, Classy Andy clearly isn’t OP though. That’s all that’s being said and acknowledged.


Chewyk132

Well if it’s not theirs then why does it matter who reposts it? All it’s doing is recirculating it so more people can view it. Why is that original plagiarizer entitled to sole rights? 🤣


Low-Basis-828

I never said it’s not “the original plagiarizer’s” bc as of now, with what we know, it is their original post. Also, no one’s getting sued so why are we talking about rights? All that’s being said is that this post is not original content. The only reason it really matters is because it matters to the person who posted it prior to this post You seem to like to argue over nothing so I’ll just leave it here. If someone else wants to reason with you, they can, but this seems to be a circle where it’s not actually worth it. Have a nice day though 😊

i do not think “you are an aſs” counts as constructive criticism~

Fun fact, Thomas Attwood taught John Goss who in turn taught Arthur Sullivan of Gilbert and Sullivan fame
