The necessary premise of being a lucky person,
It's about letting the people around you first,
Become unlucky.
The name is long, the life is short
Even those who know nothing about music will know the name of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a child prodigy in Salzburg, who, at the age of five, already revealed his genius and was therefore known as the "musical prodigy".
Strangely, in July 1791, when Mozart was writing his Memorial, he said with sorrow: "I feel that I am not long gone, and I cannot get rid of this idea." Unexpectedly, at one o'clock in the morning on December 5 of the same year, Mozart grabbed the bed with one hand and hung up with his feet.
Young Mozart
When Mozart died, he was only thirty-six years old, but in these thirty-six years, he achieved great musical achievements and was admired by future generations, but it has to be mentioned that his success was exchanged for the sacrifice of countless people: his sister Nanaire, his first love Aloisia, his parents Mo and Anna, and his rival Salieri They are all the tributes of Mozart's road to fame, and they used their lives to pave a long "skeleton ladder" to help Mozart reach the top. Without them, Mozart would have become a petite prince who was more than a young man.
Nanaire, Mozart's sister
The first person to pay the price for him was Nanel, Mozart's sister.
Nanel was the first child of the elder Mo, and before her younger brother Mozart came out, Nanel was considered the best pianist in Europe. In the 1860s, Nanaire toured Munich, Vienna, Paris, London, The Hague, Germany, Switzerland and other places, and his exquisite technique received a round of applause, and in an instant, the fame was full of flowers, and his music was called "natural sound", resounding in the clouds of Europe.
▲ Talented Nanelle
This can be seen in a letter from Lao Mo in 1764. At that time, Lao Mo excitedly wrote: "My young daughter presents the most difficult works with incredible precision and exquisite skill!" Although she was only twelve years old, she had already become the most talented player in Europe. ”
However, Nanelle's musical dream came to an end when his brother Mozart was six years old, and the old Mo, who was deeply influenced by the European concept of son preference, resolutely persuaded Nanelle, who was equal or even better, to give up his musical dream to concentrate on cultivating Mozart. In 1769, when Nanaire was eighteen, his father terminated her musical career. When she and Mozart toured Italy, Nanaire was banned from performing.
▲ Nanelle is about to end the road to music
After giving up music performances, Nanaire became a mediocre woman without the blessing of aura, married in 1784, left her husband a few years later, returned to her hometown, and struggled to survive as a piano teacher. Eventually he died in loneliness and poverty.
Mozart's glory is unattainable, but the experience of his sister Nanaire is lamentable, no matter what, it is Mozart's own sister after all, Mozart actually wrote to Nanel after his father's death to claim his father's inheritance, there is not much, you still have exclusive? Nanaire has such a younger brother, it is also too unlucky!
The movie "Nanaire, Mozart's Sister", released in 2010, truly recreates the life of Nanaire and her brother Mozart's "love-hate obsession".
Aloisia, Mozart's first love
The second person who paid the price of his life was Aloisia, Mozart's first love.
Aloisia in Rock Mozart
During the tour, Mozart met the famous German musician Weber, and the Weber family had four beautiful daughters, mozart fell in love with a girl with a beautiful soprano voice, Aloisia. The two people are in love with each other and soon fall in love. During that time, Mozart, who was immersed in love, wrote several piano pieces for Aloisia and promised Aloisia to write a stunning piano song for her, which made her shine at the princess's banquet.
But the old Mo was afraid that his son could not balance career and love, and wrote a letter urging Mozart to go to Paris to find a job. Mozart, who had been in love with his father all his life, decided to leave after much thought, and Aloisia kept him, hoping that he would stay and fulfill his original promise.
Mozart and Aloisia, who are about to leave
But Mozart did not stay, he resolutely left, leaving Aloisia alone, and Aloysia, who lacked a stunning repertoire, eventually messed up the princess's banquet repertoire, lost her dream job, and lost the opportunity to become Mozart's wife for eternity.
Mozart's later musical achievements are obvious to all, but as a first love, Aloisia gradually withdrew from the singing world and became an obscure woman. I wonder if Mozart remembered his original promise when he became famous? Or is it that men's promises are always thinner than paper? Moreover, after Mozart returned, he transformed into a "knife repair master", gave up his first love and then turned to pursue her own sister Constance, once again inserting a knife into Aloisia's heart.
The French musical Rock Mozart, released in 2009, recreates the story of two young people, Aloisia and Mozart, who fall in love with each other, both first in love, but not the other half of each other.
Old Mo with Anna, Mozart's parents
The third and fourth people who paid the price for him were Mo and Anna the Elder, who were Mozart's parents.
In the mirror is the dead mother Anna
Mozart because of the wild personality, arrogant and proud, so known as the "proud petite prince", in the road to job hunting offended many people, never got a smooth job, even if once got a job, but because of the personality problem offended the archbishop was expelled, had to, mother Anna accompanied Mozart on the road to continue to seek employment, they traveled to several countries, hoping that the talented Mozart can get a satisfactory job, in 1777, mother Anna took Mozart to Paris, Because of the perennial wandering life and unpleasant experience, her mother Anna was depressed and became ill, and finally fell seriously ill on the way through Munich. On July 3, 1778, at the age of 22, Mozart died of illness in Paris.
On December 15, 1781, Mozart was preparing to marry Constance, the youngest daughter of the Weber family, and only after the decision was made did he tell his father Lao Mo, this sudden news, the old Mo was half-dead, although the two did really love each other, but the old Mo and his sister Nanaire still opposed their marriage---- because Constance was a frivolous, poor family, unclear and penniless girl. Because of this marriage, Lao Mo and his son were estranged a lot, and the facts later proved that Lao Mo's original premonition was correct--- and later although Mozart made a lot of money because of his musical achievements, he was almost squandered by the two, and finally had to rely on his sister's relief to live.
Mozart's father, Old Mo
In 1787, the elder Mo, the father who dedicated his life to his son, died in Salzburg. Speaking of which, the elder Mo and Anna gave Mozart everything they had, but in the end, this son, apart from bringing them glory, did not bring any improvement to their lives.
Mozart because of several pieces of music once famous overseas, the appearance fee as many as a few, but all by Mozart and his wife Constance squandered or even owed a huge amount of money, the mother Anna finally worked for him all her life, did not enjoy the glory and wealth that music brought to her; the father Lao Mo strangled his daughter's musical path for him, but he was good at "pit daddy", and finally the two because of the concept of disagreement, the relationship between father and son was very tense, Mozart did not see him until his father died.
The 2006 documentary "In Search of Mozart" truly recreates Mozart's life, from which we can glimpse the trajectory of Mozart's parents.
Salieri, Mozart's biggest rival
The fifth man who paid the price of his life for him was Salieri.
Salieri was a highly respected musician, he served the Austrian royal family for more than half a century, served as the court musician for thirty-six years, had a prominent social status, and most of the people who came and went were celebrities in the cultural circles, which can be described as a model of "talking and laughing with great manners, and there is no whiteness in exchanges". But because he was born in the same era as Mozart, whose talent was crushed by Mozart, he once complained to the people around him, and as a result, the posterity "adapted" him into a jealous demon according to his spit and added the play of "poisoning and poisoning Mozart", which was also written into a poem by pushkin, a literary and artistic youth at that time, according to this legend, and the labor model Rimsky Kosakov wrote an opera according to the plot of the poem.
Although Salieri was a master of music before Mozart came to Austria, after Mozart came to Austria, Salieri became a mediocre talent known to everyone. But this does not prove that Salieri and Mozart are incompatible.
Salieri in Mozart's biography
In 1984, the United States made a film "Mozart's Biography", which told Mozart's experience in Vienna from The perspective of Salieri. The play portrays Salieri as a jealous maniac, and uses various methods to retaliate against Mozart, who surpasses himself.
But in fact, this is not the case, before Mozart is about to die, it was Salieri who recorded Mozart's last note with a pen in front of his hospital bed, which left the famous work "Requiem" that shocked posterity.
Mozart composed the Requiem on his deathbed
In that era, it can be said that Salieri was a music master on par with Mozart, but because of Mozart's untimely death, he was originally a teacher admired by Beethoven and Liszt, who was choreographed by posterity as a murderer, insulted by future generations, and left a stink for a thousand years, but Salieri really did not poison him, why carry this black pot? Bad luck?
Before he died, he plundered his sister's resources, failed to live up to the expectations of his lovers, did not let his parents enjoy the glory and wealth, and let Salieri carry the black cauldron after his death, which is probably the life of Mozart's legend, and it is also the price that Mozart had to pay on the road to fame.
Mozart as a lucky person, if the choice is not successful, choose to spend a lifetime of mediocrity, will be ashamed of the amazing talent given by god, if the choice is too successful, choose to become a legend, will make the people around him into unlucky ghosts, and he, Mozart, is a lucky person, behind his luck, in fact, there are countless unlucky ghosts, so to succeed, there must be a few unlucky cushions, right?
