SOLD-OUT - Subjective! András Batta's Series

Dear Student! After Adagio and Addio comes Amadeus, the final chapter of the spring "Subjective" trilogy. I am not writing encyclopaedia entries, the initial ’A’ letters are actually coincidental. Mozart comes to mind when anyone hears the word ’Amadeus’, even for those who are not devotees of classical music, perhaps because of the famous drama. The name itself means ’one loved by God’. Did Mozart use it? Well, as a discrete name he rarely or never did. Still, Amadeus best describes the incomprehensible phenomenon who spent time on our planet between 1756 and 1791. Indeed, few facts demonstrate the presence of some force beyond man as distinctly as Mozart's oeuvre. What was tangible and what was intangible? Was he the sound of his era, and of the universe? Will he allow us to see through the filter of his music, or will his art remain an eternal and admired mystery? The answers to these questions can only be subjective. These are the leitmotif of tonight's reflections, based on the works of my Mozart.
