The Genius of Mozart - The First Romantic (Part 3) from BBC

Wolfgang Amadaeus Mozart and His Music.

The programme, The Genius of Mozart, is produced by Charles Hazelwood. It consists of 3 series: Part 1 - Miracle of Nature, Part 2 - A Passion for the Stage, and Part 3 - The First Romantic.  In this well-crafted film, Charles Hazelwood looks at Mozart's extraordinary life and music. Aired on BBC 2, Monday 4th to Wednesday 6th April 2005 (Originally broadcast Friday 19th March to 2nd April 2004.)

Part Three - The First Romantic - Examines how, towards the end of his life, Mozart mastered the language of instrumental and orchestral writing - and how both love and loss provoked in him an extraordinary burst of creativity.

This was essentially crystallised in Mozart's three ambitious works that changed the future course of music: his last, great trilogy of symphonies - Numbers 39, 40 and 41 - which he wrote in six short weeks.

Part 1 of 3: The Genius of Mozart.  Miracle of Nature.

Part 2 of 3: The Genius of Mozart.  A Passion for the Stage.
