BY JAMES G. DEANE

Mozart came into the world
400 years ago last Friday. and
the occasion should not be
passed by in a column where
his name draws such frequent
mention as In this one.
1t seems incredible that
Mozart's music in his own lifes
time should have needed de-
Tending. But Mozarteans even
now are not universal. Only
a fraction Of his output is reg
ularly performed, and 1t is
moot whether any of it has
achieved the acceptance Of
Beethoven's fifth or Khatcha-
turian's Sabre Dance"
Musicians, palpably, tend to
ignore it. sometimes with ex-
cuses. sometimes not. One told
me recently Mozart doesn't

Don Giovanni" played to a
full house.

NUPTIAL MATTERS


RCA Victor has produced a
successor for the famous
Busch Glyndebourne "Marri-
age Of Figaro" which for so
long held the field alone. The
new edition is from Glynde-
bourne, too, and consequently
has an especially lively stage
atmosphere and a well-drilled
cast. Among the singers, Sena
Jurinac is an especially pre-
possessing countess, although
her contribution is Offset by
an inflexible count and Rise
Stevens average Cherubino.
The Figaro (Sesto Bruscan-
tinD is rather stentorian.
Glyndebourne this time, how
ever. is challenged by a win
ming Viennese aggregation
which has just recorded Mo-
zart's nuptial masterwork for
London. The singing here, by
much the same luminaries
(Siepi. Gueden, Dance, della
Casa. Corena) responsible for
London's recent excellent Don
Giovanni" is not merely we'll
drilled but unusually accom-
plished, and except in one or
two ensembles, where Glynde-
bourne's Gui builds more mo-
mentum, London's Kleiber sup
plies far more perceptive lead
ership.
London also offers superior
recorded sound, a vocal score
and Marcellina's aria I'll capro
e la capretta" mo. 24), which
isn't in the Victor set. Both
sets include recitatives, Basilio's
aria I'm quegl' ami. in cut val
POGO" (No. 25), and some
choral bits omitted from the
old Glyndebourne recording.

NEWS OF MUSIC
Some Intimate Focets
Of Mozort's Career

Anderson. cannot be over
looked by any Mozart lover.
Whether or not we can find
the man Mozart In his music
is a question of little value to
pursue because the terms are
all too vague; that we find
him on every page Of his let
tiers we are certain without
bubble over terms.
Opera His Great Passion
One can learn a lot merely
by looking at the backs of
books. The forty volumes Of
Mozart's music on O shelf
make one aware more wildly
than any index how important
opera was in the creative life
Of the musician. Seventeen of
the forty volumes contain
stage works. Many were writ
ten when the composer was Q
child prodigy. Then there is q
pitiful gap Of many years with
only an occasional commits
sion until Mozart met Lorenzo
da Ponte and almost at the
same time began to get orders
for operas.
Opera was the great love Of
Mozart's life. Whenever he
was not at work on one he says
that the sight of o singer or
the sound Of an aria drove him
almost to despair.
1t Is ironic that producers,
who preferred the safer and
easier routine Of buying OPP
eras from more conventional
and less controversial COM
posers, would often ask the
Mozart they had passed over
to save another composers
failure by writing ''hit" arias
to be interpolated in its score.
Prima donnas frequently
asked him for concert arias,
and Mozart's love Of all opera
singers apparently equalled the
contempt he had for most Of
them. for he obliged singers
and producers alike with ex-
amples Of his genius that are
not surpassed by the music
he wrote for his own proper
operas.
In quantity these interpo-
lated pieces and gifts to sing
ers equal three complete works
like Don Giovanni" or FL
caro-" and almost all are to-
day unsung.
The universally Of the ven
Grafton of Mozart by other
musicians Is interesting, for
usually an overpowering genius
repels as well as attracts. Yet
there are few exceptions to
the unqualified esteem in
which Mozart has always been
held. Men as diverse as Haydn,
Beethoven. Tchaikovsky, Ros-
SIM. Sibelius, Stravinsky, Lam
ner. Roger. Berg and Schon-
berg all loved Mozart, and the
music OF each, in different
ways. shows his influence.
Neither Beethoven nor Bach,
two Of the few peers Of Mo-
Fart, have ever enjoyed such
universal and unqualified adj
miration.
