Matthew, people will listen to the music of a certain composer for a variety
of reasons. That you state a particular reason of obvious affection for
you, is a very narrow and parochial view, dismissing anyone else's opinion
and interests, saying, "You have to like it the way I like it."
Further anyone who ends a statement with the conclusion, "Full Stop" shows a
goodly amount of intransigence demonstrating that the full stopper accept no
views other than his or her own. It's intolerant.
The only reason I like Mozart is because it's terrific for dancing. If you
object to that, I'll have to dance a lot faster.

Probably heresy, but I'd suggest listening to Mozart because it is first
rate music, and leave the "I'll listen as it has a clarinet in it" for
others.
Mozart wrote wonderfully. Full stop.

Subject: [kl] Leopold and Wolfgang
I've been doing some research on Mozart, and I've run across something that
puzzles me. Several of the articles/ web sites that I've read say that
Leopold was a domineering, cold, ambitious impressario who didn't even love
his children and used them to satisfy his own lust for fame. Several others
say he was actually very loving and caring and really believed Wolfgang and
Nannerl enjoyed traveling and performing as much as he did, and that he knew
what was best for them. It seems to me that the truth must be somewhere in
between the two, but I'm curious what others on the list think about it.
Also, does anyone know of a web site or book that lists the instrumentation
for all of Mozart's works? Actually, what I need is a list of all the works
that include clarinet. I've been listening to the symphonies and serenades,
and I've gotten interested in the way he used clarinet in different works
and at different periods of his life. Essentially, I've assigned myself a
huge research project, and now I need to find a starting point!!!!
Thanks,
Angelia
