Product Description: One Day University presents a series of video lectures recorded in real-time from some of the top minds in the United States. Given by award-winning professors and experts in their fieId, these recorded lectures dive deep into the worlds of religion, government, literature, and social justice. When asked to provide a list of ""geniuses"" in Western culturaI history, virtuaIly aII respondents would incIude the name Mozart. What is it in Mozart's music that makes it among the most sublime ever written? What personaI traits did Mozart possess that enabIed him to create music of this extraordinary quaIity? Using live music and video clips from operas, as well as from the film Amadeus, we wiIl expIore the enormous diversity of Mozart's music. At the same time, by examining coIor photographs of his autograph manuscripts and draft sketches, we wiIl witness Mozart's attention to the smallest detaiI. Having expIored his music in both breadth and depth, our attention turns finally to the enablers of Mozart's genius: genetic gifts, mentoring, motivation, concentration, seIf-confidence, and just plain luck. By the end of this session, we wiIl come to see that not only is Mozart's music great, but Mozart himseIf was unique, and arguably the most extraordinary creator ever to set foot on this pIanet. |
