Arnold Schoenberg famously venerated Mozart; yet when he arrived in America, he was asked why he never used Mozart's music in his teaching. Because, he said in his still highly Germanic syntax, "In Mozart everything is to hear, but not to see." In this seminar, we'll try to get at what "is to hear" in Mozart: by listening to the music, intently and repeatedly, in recordings and, if possible, live performances; and in equally intensive discussion of what we hear -- free- floating discussion that will follow only the directions of the participants' interest and exclude no possibility a priori. We shall not, however, exclude the possibility of bolstering our perceptions through background reading of recent and earlier literature -- analytic, historic, and hermeneutic. We shall not attempt anything like a survey. Indeed, I imagine we'll devote attention to only a handful of pieces. I do not have an advance list of these (although I do have my favorites) -- I will be grateful if participants will send me suggestions before our first meeting.
