The Hidden Secret of Musical Codes in 18th Century Music with Dr. Antonella Di Giulio

Kick-Off: Mozart & Haydn - Music from the 18th Century

When we study a new piece of music, we do not really think that we are actually decoding a message that a composer has encrypted, right? But what if we would learn how to actually interpret this message?

In this Livestream, we will talk about hidden musical codes and how to discover the secrets behind a musical piece written in the 18th century

  • Roy was asking in the Livestream if the Galant style was receiving the same criticism that contemporary music is receiving today: I am sorry, I did not see the question until later. Probably not. Musicians were paid by the aristocracy to compose music that would please them.

      Antonella Di Giulio I saw this documentary a long time ago, but I can not access it now because I do not have Paramount+.  There are simply too many channels to pay for these days!

    • Gail Starr the funny thing is that I had searched specifically for a free documentary 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️😇 Sorry about that! There is a lot online about Alma Deutscher. She is a really sweet girl.

    Certainly, it's going to be a great classical month! I have decided to learn a Haydn Sonata Hob. XVI: 34 in E minor, beautiful music full of wonderful details.

      Juan Carlos Olite Surely you have listened to Jean-Efflam Bavouzet’s Tonebase lesson on this sonata…   « Just a little HOMEOPATHIC pedal in the second subject… » SOOOO well said, in a true French style! I can’t wait to hear you! I’ve chosen the b minor, along with Gail.

      Monika Tusnady Yes, Monika, I have listened to Jean-Effam Bavouzet with all his special ideas... But the "homeopathic pedal" is the best, almost avant-garde poetry 😂😂; otherwise, I am very excited of watching Gail and you with other Haydn Sonata, it promises to be something great 🙂!

    I want to participate with Mozart sonata in D major K311

    I've been working on this piece for like a month and I have roughly learned the notes for the whole thing. Now working on refining and memorizing the 1st mv. I want to do it really well, because I chose this for my exam!

    So this challenge comes at a good timing for me to continue with my original plan while doing with everyone else would be extra fun!

    • Qingzhi Very good choice! I think that this challenge will add extra motivation for your exam.

  • I will learn the “Adagio” of Mozart K280 for the challenge. I will also learn the “Allegro assai”, but it is doubtful I will get it up to tempo by the end of the challenge time as I am working on other music already.

    • Susan Rogers That movement is one of the most haunting pieces of music I know of. I try to not get to emotional when playing it, but it’s difficult. Looking forward to hear you play it! Great sonata!

    • Sindre Skarelven great! I’m in the mood for that. Thanks for telling me your experience with it! I listened to about 2 hours of Haydn and Mozart videos on YouTube until 1 in the morning, and that one appealed to me and felt right for the challenge.

    • Susan Rogers That Adagio is very beautiful and challenging at the same time. But... the perfect choice for a challenge :)

    • Susan Rogers btw... if you are curious about the way Mozart wrote, take a look at this autograph (there are several sonatas in one file): https://s9.imslp.org/files/imglnks/usimg/9/98/IMSLP294539-PMLP01830-Mozart_-_Sonatas_K279-284_-autograph-.pdf
