TRADITION AND MODERNITY IN W.A.MOZART’S PIANISTIC ART

Abstract

Mozart was a great piano virtuoso who dedicated most of his creation to the pianoforte, the youngest emerged musical instrument at his time. Either playing a modern piano or, out of concern for historical authenticity, an eighteenth-century pianoforte, the piano player of our days must first and foremost pursue and accomplish the beauty and sensitiveness of the melodic phrasing, together with the utterance clearness. With a view to his succeeding in drawing nearer to Mozart’s specific nature, the pianist needs an overview of the creation engendered by the one who embodied the ideal of classical music and whose name merges with music itself.
