Mozart Effect

Mozart Sonata for Two Pianos in D major, K. 448 was the one used in the scientific study that tested the theory of the Mozart Effect. The study suggested that Classical music increases brain activity more positively than other kinds of music.

D major for happy compositions usually calling for a degree of virtuosity, as may be easily heard in his Sonata for two pianos. Mozart wrote it for a performance he would give with Josephine von Aurnhammer, who also appeared with him in his Concerto for two pianos and orchestra.

There are 3 parts:

Opening Allegro con spirito begins with a trilling fanfare, then immediately launches into a quick, bubbling theme, followed by a somewhat more chordal, low-key, second subject adorned with witty grace notes; a third section returns to the spirit and technique of the first part, but without quite quoting the earlier material until the very end.

The Andante begins with a seemingly simple yet highly adorned melody and flowing accompaniment that might serve nicely as an aria or duet in The Magic Flute or Cosí fan tutte. The theme of the middle section in this ABA movement is more spare, almost a lullaby.

Finally, the Molto allegro movement leaps off the page with a spirited tune that might be called galloping if it weren't so elegant. This is the recurring theme that binds together a rondo featuring an assortment of highly contrasting melodies, one of which – heard early on and returning at the end – includes a Turkish-style cadence that calls to mind Mozart's famous Rondo alla turca.

Enjoy!

很忙 ~ 容祖兒

Are you busy chasing and you shelved away your feelings. Is busy your common excuse? Don't forget to say "I love you" to those you loved, for there might be no chance to say your feeling.

This is another great work by 許環良, listen to the lyrics.

你總愛說事情太多　時間不夠
而我也總是努力　找理由
讓自己　來不及想　以後

以為　終究會　等到幸福的時候
等到　花也開了　溫暖了　天空卻　變灰暗了

來不及回頭　回頭太囉嗦　而你我　很忙
忙着往前跑　卻忘了　把感動一路珍藏
已來不及回頭　回頭已是空　是你我　太忙
當逃亡　變習慣　我只想　痛哭一場　喔

所有快樂的難過的　麻木接收
而忙碌竟是我們　用現在　換未來
最習慣的　理由

也許　看着花　綻放的一刻最美
等到　花也開了　溫暖了　天空卻　變灰暗了

來不及回頭　回頭太囉嗦　而你我　很忙
忙着往前跑　卻忘了　把感動一路珍藏
已來不及回頭　回頭已是空　是你我　太忙
當逃亡　變習慣　我只想　痛哭一場　喔

已來不及回頭　回頭已是空　是你我　太忙
當逃亡　變習慣　我只想　痛哭一場　喔

你總是愛說　時間　不夠
