Mozart, a great musician, whose name is unknown, is probably very few.
In the music world, he is a genius among geniuses. Prodigy of prodigies. Musicians among musicians.
At the age of 4, he began to learn composition! At the age of 7, he followed the musician father Opald Mozart on a tour of European countries, touring Europe for 10 years! At the age of 24, the young Mozad moved to Vienna and began a career of more than 10 years.
Life had just begun, but his life came to an abrupt halt, suddenly fading away, like a crystal shattering to the ground.
At 00:55 on December 5, 1791, Mozart died quietly, and the genius passed away!
He lived only a little more than 35 years, 52 days before his 36th birthday.
Heaven forbid, died young!
Mozart began composing music at the age of 4, and in a short life, he actually created more than 600 works, which is indeed a great genius.
Even though he was only 35 years old when he died, the musical works he left behind were already vast and rich. They have piano sonatas, piano concertos, symphonies, and operas. For example, the well-known Piano Sonata No. 11 in A major, the Turkish March, the Piano Concerto No. 27 in B flat major, the Fortieth Symphony in G minor, the Marriage of Figaro and so on. Mozart's important works, which summarized all the musical genres of the time, he composed concertos, symphonies, sonatas, serenades, and frolicks, which later became the main forms of classical music. He became a composer of European classical music and influenced posterity until modern times!
He is simply not human, like a tireless music god who creates beautiful tunes!
"Sonata", "Concerto", "Requiem", I believe many people have heard it. This trilogy is his masterpiece.
Mozart's piano sonatas are very distinctive, with a cheerful and cheerful tune, a beautiful melody, a concise chorus, a clear and optimistic mood, and full of youthful vitality, as if to let people enter a carefree world. His work is innovative, active, beautiful, crystal clear and full of humor. There are countless music masters in the world, and all of them will be in awe of the works of such a musical genius.
However, Mozart's ill-fated fate in reality has made future generations sigh.
The cause of his death has been a hot topic for centuries and is a subject that many people study and track.
The number of people who speculate, speculate, and study the cause of his death is not known, but the books on the exploration of the causes of death alone can only be described as "uncountable". There are explorers in the Jiangshan Dynasty, and there are many experts and scholars. These include writers, biographers, musicians, historians, doctors and physicians, among others. Until modern times (a few years ago) there were scientists working on it.
There should be no less than a few dozen theories of Mozart's death.
On Baidu Encyclopedia, there are several dry articles, which seem to be boring to read, and the author contributes the information he collects to this.
The first claim, the most sensational, is that the soul seekers of Hades took Mozart's soul in order to claim the Requiem. Although this statement is bizarre, it is revealed by the writer Stendhal. Stendhal was a contemporary of Mozart and a French critical realist writer who was famous for writing the famous book The Red and the Black. Therefore, what he said was more weighty, and he would not make up such a serious matter.
Stendhal said a man in black entered Mozart's room and asked him for the Requiem.
This incident was a sensation. However, the investigation was later clarified.
In reality, this did happen, and a mysterious man in black suddenly appeared in Mozart's room and asked him to write a Requiem, which stimulated Mozart, restless, suspicious, tired, exhausted, and finally died. However, this man in black was sent by a count named Sturbach. The Count was a romantic who, in honor of his deceased wife, asked Mozart to write an elegy. Although the Man in Black surprised Mozart a little, but not to be scared to death, only 35 years old, the cause of Mozart's death in his prime should not be caused only by this slightly mysterious romantic fright.
This cause of death can be regarded as "soul saying" or "frightening saying".
Next, there is the "jealous poisoning theory".
Mozart's contemporaries were a court composer named Sarrieli, who was very jealous of Mozart's talent, because Mozart had made him lose face before His Majesty the Emperor, so he secretly killed Mozart. This was proposed by Mozart's first biographer, Franz Xavier Niemechek. The writer presents a detail of Mozart's life, saying that in the autumn of 1791, Mozart said an inexplicable sentence to his wife Konstanze in Vienna's Pratt Park: "I will not live long, of course, someone poisoned me!" But there is no evidence that Mozart actually spoke this sentence. This episode caught the attention of the later German professor of anesthesiology, Yugen Wawel, who underwent years of careful study and concluded that Mozart had not died of poisoning.
Conspiracy theorists believe that Mozart was persecuted to death by the government.
So, there is the "government persecution theory".
It has been pointed out that Mozart supported "Freemasonry". Hearing this meeting, everyone should be more familiar with it, in the famous novel "The Da Vinci Code", there will be a detailed description of this, there is an exploration of its historical background, and pointed out that like Newton, Leonardo da Vinci... These celebrities were secret members of the Society, and it is not clear whether Mozart was a member, but it is believed that Mozart (who preceded this novel hundreds of years ago) was persecuted to death by the government of the time because of his support for Freemasonry.
Some have the opposite evidence, believing that it was the Masonics who killed Mozart.
At the time, it was believed that the Masonics had sent a killer (according to my understanding, could it be the same killer as the albino religious fanatic portrayed in The Da Vinci Code two hundred years later?). ), with ingenious methods to kill Mozart. The reason was that Mozart had leaked the secrets of the organization in the opera The Magic Flute, so he was executed.
This is considered a "religious persecution doctrine."
There is also a saying: death by love killing. It is considered to be "love killing theory".
Chinese geologist Xu Jinghua (b. 1929 in Nanjing) argued in Mozart's Love and Death at Sanlian Bookstore that Mozart committed suicide. After research, Xu Jinghua found that Mozart was in love with his student Maddalena and was a married woman. He and Madalena risked death to fall in love, and although they were not tolerated by society, he was unwilling to repent. Xu Jinghua hypothesized that Mozart's affair with Madalena was discovered by her husband, Hoofdermeier, who made an agreement with Maddalena that if Mozart drank poison, Madalena would be spared death. So Mozart drank the poison and died...
Mozart's wife was Constanze, and her account of the cause of death was: Requiem killed him!
This sounds like a metaphor.
It is said that during the day on the last day of Mozart's life, he took the score of the Requiem to the bed and wanted to ask the musicians who visited him to sing it, who knows, he was too weak to sing. He had to throw the score aside and cried sadly...
Modern posterity is more convinced of the research of doctors and medical experts.
So, with some of these findings, I think —
Mozart died of illness. It is considered to be "sick and dead".
What disease?
Traditionally, it is believed that some of these diseases are:
1. Infectious miliary rash fever.
2. Neurasthenia.
3. Lung disease.
Coupled with the improper handling of doctors and the use of bloodletting treatment, Mozart's death was prompted.
In addition, he lives irregularly, and his wife is not good at taking care of and managing money, resulting in poverty and is a condition for death.
Later researchers have developed new causes:
1. Lack of vitamin D (so that Mozart cannot resist the invasion of disease)
2. Trichinellosis (In Mozart's years, severe trichinellosis can be fatal. Mozart complained before he died that he was itchy).
3. Bronchitis, coupled with uremia (Mozart's penchant for smoking and drinking).
4. Kidney failure.
5. Head injury (In 1991, French anthropologist Pucci concluded based on a fracture in the temple on the left side of the skull that Mozart may have fallen and was injured by accident and eventually died of complications of head injury. This conclusion is also related to rumors that Mozart had a terrible headache a year before his death.)
Mozart's death was a great honor. But he was poor when he was alive, and his funeral after death was even more tragic.
It is said that only three or five people gave Mozart a funeral. His wife was bedridden and unable to send her off. The mourners arrived at the grave and hurried away. After his wife recovered from her illness, she married a diplomat. After 16 years, she found that her ex-husband Mozart was famous all over the world, and only then did she find her conscience to go to the cemetery to pay homage to the dead.
However, when she arrived at st. Mark's Cemetery on the outskirts of Vienna, she found that the tomb of her dead husband could not be found!
The music that Mozart left for future generations is always optimistic, cheerful and sweet.
But his life and funeral were so bleak!
The good thing is --
His music is eternal and does not pass because of the lead of time...
