- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)
Serenade No. 9 in D major, K. 320 "Posthorn" (1779)
00:00 - Adagio maestoso - Allegro con spirito
08:01 - Menuetto: Allegretto
12:10 - Concertante: Andante grazioso
19:24 - Rondeau: Allegro ma non troppo
25:06 - Andantino
34:54 - Menuetto. Trio I. Trio II
39:31 - Finale: Presto
Posthorn Solo: Zdeněk Tylšar
Performed by Sir Charles Mackerras and the Prague Chamber Orchestra (Telarc: 1985).
"The seven-movement 'Posthorn' Serenade, completed 3 August 1779 as the last of the serenades which Mozart wrote for Salzburg, and which was commissioned as 'Finalmusik' by the university, sets off solo flutes and oboes in its third and fourth movements. Mozart even had these two movements performed separately as a 'sinfonia concertante' at a concert he gave in the Vienna Burgtheater in March 1783.
The brilliant trumpet-and-drums panoply of the 'Posthorn' Serenade's opening Allegro is prepared by a stately slow introduction, which returns to introduce the recapitulation; the Mannheim crescendos of the Allegro reflect a recent visit by Mozart to that important musical center. This movement is offset by a courtly minuet with a 'real' Trio for solo flute, solo bassoon, and strings. The third and fourth movements comprise the 'Concertante' section discussed earlier; charm is the principal ingredient here, yet Mozart's music exhibits a grace a lesser composer would envy. Following the G major Concertante, the D minor Andantino--the emotional center of the Serenade--is altogether graver, with an almost operatic pathos to remind us that even in his 'entertainment music,' Mozart cannot repress his depth of musical feeling. Trumpet and drums, silent since the third movement, are restored for the second minuet. The first of the two Trios calls, unusually, for solo piccolo, the second for the posthorn--a valveless, high-pitched horn used by mail coach guards to announce arrivals and departures--which gives this serenade its name. The inventively energetic finale makes use in its development section of fugal textures--a bow, perhaps, to the academic occasion for which this 'Finalmusik' was written?" - Marc Mandel

Comfort of Mozart’s music is off the charts
I dont know if Mozart was King of Music, but he definitely was God of Melody
Mozart he is the King of music for sure!!!😎
We don't need any other Mozart. He is eternally immortal, and listening to his music is the first step to our immortality!
Angeles y Murakami me hacen viajar rumbo a las montañas... Kafka... 🌷🇨🇱
Es increíble lo de este señor..
Se non avessi scritto Mozart oltre questa serenata era già sufficiente per ammirare la bellezza della sua musica e di tutta la musica classica : espressioni, emozioni,melodie ,romanzi ,eleganza ,perfezione .....Un fiume pieno di colori e canzoni in cammino verso il mare dove finisce nel tramonto del sole in una giornata estiva .... MOZART.
What's not to love? It's W.A. Mozart! After some years I am once again back to collecting more box sets of his music. Just can't get enough. This serenade is wonderful.
We will never see another Mozart. His genius was unique. Mozart is sui generis.
Ok, but I'm better at table tennis than he ever was.
@@ivanboskovic1260 I hear old Wolfie was quite the billiards player.
God gave us one, and they destroyed him.
21:00 !!!!!!!!!!!!! I really don't have the words to describe the elegance, beauty, and genius of this melody .
i was searching for this beautiful melody for years, can't believe that finally found. I only had this piece of the serenade around 19:30 - 25:00 on a low-quality record. As a not-well dedicated classic follower, tried a couple of simple ways to find it in recent years, but obviously couldn't. Heard it for the 1000th time on my playlist, tried my luck on AudioTag this time and it worked amazingly !!! Thanks a million to Mozart for that beautiful masterpiece.
Love it!
It's very very cute!!!!!
and the finally of course!!
Thank you so much, Omran!
La música de Mozart llena mi mente, mi corazón de alegria
Sometime between 1983 and 1986, I was given two cassettes of Mozart: one was his Symphony No.39, and the other was the 'Posthorn'.
Those two humble cassettes were the foundation of a musical journey through my life.
I am thankful that I lived in an age of recorded music, and that I was born in the centuries after Bach, Mozart, Bruckner, Wagner, and others in the pantheon.
Rondeau is one of the most cheerful, beautiful and gorgeous pieces I’ve ever heard
Absolute genius, the crescendo at around 7:25.
Angels play Mozart. There is no better celestial music!
Mozart the love of my life
Yours too???
Ann Bogden yes Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is the love of my life 🕊
@@TheSharoncat 📯🔔🎼🎵🎶🎹🎺🎻
He's so wonderful. And we have 200 hours plus of his music to enjoy!
Ann Bogden thank you 💕
19:24 I'll often catch myself whistling this tune when I'm working. The Rondo is the most memorable part of this serenade and the easiest to grasp with my emotions. So light, uplifting, and innocent in its simplicity. But this is something Mozart is famous for.
no, he's not famous for it, it's an awesome piece, but not as famous as others though :(
My godness, no matter what kind of pieces, what feeling they are, the pieces are still very catchy at the first time you heard, yet as many as you heard, you end up with a satisfy, relax feeling. Words just cannot describe how genius Mozart is.
Mozart was an Angel of God.
@@psalm2764 I also think so :)
@@DynamicMateTV Thank God. We will know in the end, at the final judgement, who did what and why to whom. Bless you for being honest.
@@DynamicMateTV Bless you. Its the truth. Of the millions and billions that God made, there was only one Mozart. He suffered and still continued doing what God made him to do. Mozart would not compromise, and the forces that should not be hated him for his resolution to goodness and purity.
Mozart is amazing. none better
Bright, cheery, exciting, uplifting, SPRITELY!!!! I LOVE THIS SERENADE!!!!!
The last movement, at 39:31, is a brilliant, fiery explosion of aggression and power that would be overwhelming if it did not stay within the boundaries of late 18th-century style. Fantastic stuff.
Mozart with Mackerras as brothers they understand. Bravo. I dance with joy!
1:24 interesting passage. Clever how he doesn't take the easy route to the second subject, like how he surprises us with the "easy route" at 5:40. Great melodic counterpoint at 41:17.
Can't figure out why do I love this 2:07 part. especially the trombone sound that comes in the background and makes it like a real marching song, in Mozart's own style.
This piece is more like a symphony than a serenade.
O, Mozart!!! 😁😁👍❗❤😁👍👍
Brilliance! Nothing on Earth like it:)
the late [Sir] Charles Mackerras--- one of the best
His recordings of Mozart and Haydn seem to be...perfect.
34:56 on is so Majestic!
The trumpet in this unique Mozart Serenade sends a thought to the listener " To send light into the darkness of men's hearts - Such is the duty of the artist; Robert Schumann." A very inspiring work of expression & virtuosity!
I was listening to this during the first movement, then I kept it on as background music while i did some work. I just began listening in earnest again. I have no words. Utterly delightful perfection is about 1% of what I'm feeling.
P. S. I always thought they called the instrument "post horn" because it's long like a post. But it turns out the name comes from the fact that during Mozart's time, the instrument was played by the postman as an alert when he came to each town to deliver the mail.
The first movement at times sounds like an early romantic symphony.
Brian Knapp i believe he planted the seeds for the romantic era.
@@joej9137 he planted the seeds for beeto
This serenade is more symphonic than Mozart's symphonies, I love it.
Ben het met u eens. maar geniet er toch erg van
I can see the influence of Haydn and Handel in this work
Without a doubt Mozart's best Symphony.
Brilliant..love it .. thank you for the upload and beautiful painting.
Lovely, lively music portraying a glorious age
Yet another Mozart masterpiece Mackerras has brought alive with his impeccable conducting. In my opinion this is one of the best recordings of the "posthorn" out there.
Dresden Staatskapelle under Harnoncourt is excellent. Very dark and menacing, with no superficial brightness. The finale sounds like an angry mob coming to kill you.
@@jasonhurd4379 I haven't heard that, but Harnoncourt can be annoyingly unpredictable. Sometimes great, sometimes completely ridiculous (too slow or too fast). Mackerras seems to get Mozart and Haydn just right any time I have heard him. And at least none of that overly light-handed nonsense we tend to get with Classical works.
Haydn is thought to have said about Mozart: You will not see the likes of him for another 100 years.
In my view, almost never again.
It is just a guess for Haydn.. the guy could have said 1000 years.
I agree with you. Not even Beethoven can match the deep understanding of the human nature like Mozart in his operas. For me the greatest genius ever.
Not almost. Never again. This man's gift was special and unique... and I believe it stands above all, for eternity. He was truly loved by God.

That's some kind of love, though. Struggling to make a living all his short life, then dead at 35 and carted off to a pauper's grave.
jshaers96 I agree. It's hard to fathom an idiot like Justin Beiber getting rich for creating worthless noise while a unique musical genius, arguably the greatest who will ever live, died a poor man. Mozart's riches come from the fact that 224 years after his death, people are still inspired by his music. That's something you can't place a monetary value on. He is immortal.
Jim Dubya Most people (including me) think Mozart was a musical genius. He was that, but more importantly, he was an incredibly hard working composer. His musical output in his brief lifetime exceeded that of his peers who lived twice as long. Quality as well as quantity.Inspiration without perspiration is not much good!
This is amazing piece of music. Mozart did not use trumpet very often and that is the reason why is this work so special, because he used them here.
......semplicemente MOZART !!!.............
The first chapter is my favorite music
Energia,fuerza emotiva, y horn!!!!!!.-
Amazing strength music, and the perfection of the composition it is comparable to some of his mature symphonies!
This can be regarded as a symphony
A serenade, yes, a gem of the galant style .....but not only: the andantino is an eye on romanticism! Mozart wrote masterworks (Don Giovanni, Die Zauberflote, the last symphonies , the quartets and many others) but this serenade is a true,little gem
There are some unexpected dramatic parts in this serenade that are in a minor key. Very interesting.
Trumpet excerpt @ 37:25
Thx for uploading my serenade
me encanta a partir 21:00 no hay palabras
Es mi parte favorita, es muy bella, siempre la repito. Saludos cordiales.
My favorite part : the Andantino (25:06).
Fantastic!!!So much melodie majesty!!!
Beautiful Serenade!!! Thank you for sharing!!
Mozart is the great composer who I associate with time and place. This one takes me back to Chesterfield in the UK for some reason
A very interesting comment, but I haven’t seen a blue plaque on any Inns to say that Mozart ever stayed in Chesterfield, but it was a major market town since 1204, so he might have come at some stage🍻
Maestro!!!!
WONDERFUL!!!
I like this very much!
Recorded in my country :) Really nice quality!! Thank you ;)
Me ha encantado.
Fantabolous.....
Que genio mozart es mi epoca.
Mozart was a good composer.
Thank you
How can one person have possessed such genius?
No one alive in Mozart's time could write a movement like 25:06, it's the same Classical style but no one used it in the same way.
If you're here for the posthorn solo, it's in the 6th movement.
that is what I was looking for!marlies draghici
This serenade was also an application to Mozarts employer Archbishop Count Colloredo. Mozart wanted to apply for a time-out for travelling and giving concerts. He could not go to his archbishop and simply forward an application to His Excellency. Instead, he used the opportunity of this serenade to include passages which referred to the postal service, the horn (Posthorn) used by the drivers on the post lines, to remember his boss about transportation systems and travelling. It was an indirect, but very clear application for a permission to travel around and being free from the bishop's service for a while. The bishop was an unpleasant, but clever man. He understood the message but denied the permission. Mozart and his bishop had several quarrels of this type, finally leading to Mozarts demission with a "kick into his ass" two years later in Vienna.
That story has two aspects : the bad one is that there are always the archbishops treating artist´s as servants. Still today. The good one is that the archbishops will be forgotten, the artists not ( in the good cases). The bad one is that archbishops don´t know that or they pretend not to know it. To hell with the archbishops!!
@@andreasheise894 Yes.Right on 😷
@@andreasheise894 Consider this: the Prince Archbishop of Salzburg was the ruler of the Principality. All the musicians were well down on the lists of the Prince Archbishop's staff. Colloredo was moreover a son of the Imperial Vice-Chancellor, Prince Rudolph Colloredo. The first thing Colloredo did after he was elected was give Mozart a salary, which the previous archbishop hadn't bothered to do. Then he gave him permission to go twice more to Italy to write operas he'd been commissioned to do. He was a musician himself, and was fully aware of Mozart's talent, and didn't want to lose him. Mozart''s behaviour towards him was appalling. He had been so much flattered in Italy that he forgot a few facts of life.
Ano! :)
21:00~20 I love

Does anyone know the name of the motif at 17:41? I think I heard it somewhere else.

Finale presto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.-

MINUNAT !
You wish me to write an opera buffa for you. Most willingly, if you are inclined to have a vocal composition of mine for yourself alone, but if with a view to produce it on the stage at Prague, I cannot in that case comply with your wish, all my operas being too closely connected with our personal circle, so they could never produce the proper effect. ... But even then I should risk a great deal, for scarcely any man could stand beside the great Mozart.
I only wish I could impress on every friend of mine, and on great men in particular, the same depth of musical sympathy and profound appreciation of Mozart's inimitable music that I myself feel and enjoy; then nations would vie with each other to possess such a jewel within their frontiers.... It enrages me to think that the unparalleled Mozart is not yet engaged by some imperial or royal court! Forgive my excitement, but I love the man so dearly!

+kwastormayt 19:24 - Rondeau: Allegro ma non troppo 25:06 - Andantino its a trip to heaven
You're right 25:06 was divine! "I myself consider it to be the best thing I have written in my life." W.A Mozart He wrote that to his father 1784 I'm sure he changed his mind about that being the best he ahs written since his best compositions are from 1784 till his death in 1791 th-cam.com/video/3zxqpLEQcp0/w-d-xo.html
WOW!!Thank you for that.

The theme of the Rondo part is used in the 18th piano concerto. Can you hear it?
I was just noting the similarities. 18 has emerged as one of my favorite piano concerti.

21:00 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
the first movement is ironic, it depicts the battle between Mozart and Colloredo.
Interesting take! Like it
čo také si predstavujete pod pojmom "lol" ?
Ok, i know you're here because of kafka on the shore, now go back to the book
"lol" má znamenat, že se válíte smíchy na zemi nebo něco v tom smyslu.
V 99% případů se použití lol nehodí!
0:14 Is this real or am I imagining this tremendous discord?
If anyone knows what painting this is it would be soooo appreciated.
It's a detail from a larger painting called Das Standchen (the Serenade) painted in 1855 by Carl Spitzweg (1808-1885), the German romanticist artist.
@@algernon4huxley Thank you very much.
@@steadylake1084 ask a reasonable question and someone with the knowledge will often make the time to share it. Thanks for asking the question and to Mr. Huxley for answering it. I often look at the works of art used in pieces of music and wonder who..

Why you always have to compare any composer/singer of any kind of music???🤔☹
