SD reply to playing a Mozart violin thread…

Rich said, ” Part of the joy of seeing this video is that mine is a near-twin to Mozart’s.”

With all due respect, part of the joy of being Mozart is that he could have made just about any instrument sound fantastic. :-0

Playing one of Mozart’s violins…sd reply

With all due respect, yes and no.  Hearing Mozart play his own music is the only way to get that close; the instrument is secondary imo.  Mozart had a gift that was perfect.
