S. A. + + [Illustration] + + ................................................................ + Born + + ................................................................ + Died + + ................................................................ + + + + + MOZART + + +The composer whom we call WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART was called Wolferl +when he was a little boy. + +He had a sister, MARIA ANNA, who was called NANNERL. + +Nannerl was five years older than her brother. She had lessons from her +father on a kind of piano called a harpsichord. + +Here is a picture of one. + + [Illustration: MOZART'S HARPSICHORD.] + +When Wolferl was three years old he used to listen to Nannerl's playing. +He always watched and listened when Papa Mozart gave her a harpsichord +lesson. + +Little as he was, he would often go to the harpsichord and try to pick +out tunes with his chubby fingers. His father noticed that Wolferl could +remember quite a little of the music that Nannerl was practising. + +And here is a picture of Wolferl trying to reach the keys so as to play +the melody of his sister's lesson. + + [Illustration: THE INFANT MOZART AT THE PIANO.] + +When Wolferl was four years old he began to take lessons. + +While he practised no one ever spoke to him because he was so serious +about it. If other children came to play with Nannerl he would make +music for their games and marching; playing in strict time all the +while. + +Here is Nannerl's picture when she grew up to be a young lady. + + [Illustration: MOZART'S SISTER.] + +Father Mozart loved both of his children deeply and often played with +them. The violin was the instrument he liked best and little Mozart had +daily lessons in his home. Here we see him playing while his sister +sings. + + [Illustration: A MOZART FAMILY TRIO.] + +In this picture we see Papa Mozart, who was a very fine player on the +violin. Wolferl and Nannerl are playing the piano. + + [Illustration: MOZART PLAYING WITH HIS FATHER AND SISTER.] + +When Wolferl was nearly six his father took him and Nannerl on a concert +tour. Everybody wanted to hear them play and they gave many concerts. + +Wolferl spent all his boyhood with his music. He went to many places to +play, even as far from Salzburg, in Austria (where he was born), as to +Paris and London. + +Everywhere he went people were happy to see him and his sister and to +hear them play. And they, too, were happy to play because they loved the +music so much. + +When they reached Vienna they played for the Emperor and Empress. + +When Wolferl was presented to the Empress he jumped up into her lap and +kissed her. + +Wolferl was always busy composing music. But he played games and had a +good time just like any other boy. When he was busy with his music, +however, he never let his thoughts go to anything else. + +But we must not go too fast, for we want to see how Wolferl is growing +up. + +Here is his picture when he was five years old and beside it another +when he was eight years old. Do you see his wig and sword? + + [Illustration: MOZART AT FIVE.] + + [Illustration: MOZART AT EIGHT.] + +Everybody in Paris wanted to hear Wolferl play when they knew that he +had come, so they asked him to read at sight; to play the bass part to a +melody and to accompany a song without seeing the music. + +People also took great delight in asking him to play on the harpsichord +with a cloth stretched over the keyboard so that he could not see the +keys. + +They all went to London to play for the King. The King wanted to see for +himself how skilful little Mozart was, so he gave him pieces by Bach and +Handel to play at sight. Mozart read them off at once. Here is a fine +picture of the Mozart children when they played for the King and the +Queen. + + [Illustration: MOZART AT THE COURT OF THE EMPEROR.] + +It must have been very fine for a little boy of seven to play for kings +and queens. But Wolferl was not spoiled by it all. He was just a happy +hearted boy all the time. + +He always made it a rule to put his mind on what he was doing and do it +the very best he knew how. + +It is just as good a rule now as it was when he was alive. + +It is time now that we learned the birthday of Mozart. If we think of it +every year on the 27th of January, it will be easy to remember it. + +In what year was he born? + +Here is another picture of Mozart in 1766. How old was he then? +(Beethoven was born four years afterward.) + + [Illustration: MOZART IN 1766.] + +When anyone is always busy at one thing he soon gets a lot done. As +Wolferl grew and kept on writing music all the time he made a great many +pieces. Some were short like a song, others were long like an opera. He +wrote for the piano, the violin and the voice. And he composed operas, +symphonies and ever so many other kinds of music. + +Mozart liked to be alone when he was working upon his compositions. He +used to go to a little house on the edge of Vienna and lock himself in. +The people of the city of Salzburg, in Austria, took this house long +after Mozart's death and moved it to a park where all may go to see it, +just as we in America go to see the houses of William Penn, Lincoln and +Washington. + + [Illustration: WHERE MOZART COMPOSED.] + +Can you remember, without turning back, the year in which Mozart was +born? + +Some other great musicians were alive at that time. And during his +lifetime some were born who became great men. + +In the year when Mozart was born both Handel and Haydn were living. And +Haydn lived eighteen years after Mozart's death. + +You can remember it by these lines: + + |1732 The years of Haydn's life 1809| + ------------------------------------------------------ + |1756 The years of Mozart's life 1791| + -------------------------------------- + +When Mozart was fourteen years old Beethoven was born. Mozart knew him +and he knew Papa Haydn also, and they were very good friends. + +In our own country there lived in Mozart's lifetime Benjamin Franklin +and three Presidents of the United States--George Washington, John Adams +and Thomas Jefferson. + +I wonder if Washington ever heard of Mozart? + +Perhaps we can best keep all these names together by looking at this +page now and again. + + 1706 Benjamin Franklin was born. + 1732 Washington and Haydn were born. + 1736 Patrick Henry was born. + 1743 Thomas Jefferson was born. + 1750 Bach died. + 1756 WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART was born. + 1759 Handel died + 1770 Beethoven was born. + 1771 Walter Scott was born. + 1790 Franklin died. + 1791 Mozart died. + 1809 Joseph Haydn died. + +Isn't it fine to think of Mozart writing so much music, so many operas, +symphonies and sonatas; traveling so much, meeting so many people and +never being spoiled by it all. + +While he wrote many very great pieces of music, here is something he +composed when he was five years old. He made up the pieces at the piano +and his father wrote them down note for note in a little copy book. + + [Illustration] + + + FACTS ABOUT MOZART. + +Read these facts about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and try to write his +story out of them, using your own words.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/34582-8.zip b/34582-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..8da9e41 --- /dev/null +++ b/34582-8.zip diff --git a/34582-h.zip b/34582-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..a65a09d --- /dev/null +++ b/34582-h.zip diff --git a/34582-h/34582-h.htm b/34582-h/34582-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..78496ab --- /dev/null +++ b/34582-h/34582-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,1057 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> +<!-- $Id: header.txt 236 2009-12-07 18:57:00Z vlsimpson $ --> + +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> + <head> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" /> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css" /> + <title> + The Project Gutenberg eBook of Child's Own Book of Great Musicians +MOZART, by Thomas Tapper. + </title> + <style type="text/css"> + +body { + margin-left: 10%; + margin-right: 10%; + font-size: 200%; +} + +/* paragraphs */ + +p { + margin-top: 3%; + margin-bottom: 3%; + text-align: justify; + text-indent: 5%; +} /* general indented paragraph */ + +p.h2 { + margin-top: 7%; + text-indent: 0%; + text-align: center; + font-size: 150%; + font-weight: bold; +} + +p.h3 { + margin-top: 7%; + text-indent: 0%; + text-align: center; + font-size: 100%; + font-weight: bold; +} + +hr { + width: 33%; + margin-top: 8%; + margin-bottom: 8%; + margin-left: auto; + margin-right: auto; + clear: both; +} + +hr.hr2 +{ + width: 90%; + color: white; + background-color: white; + border: none; + border-bottom: 6px double black; + margin: 8% auto; +} /* horizontal rule for chapter divisions */ + +hr.hrbd +{ + width: 70%; + color: white; + background-color: white; + border: none; + border-bottom: 6px dotted black; + margin: 8% auto; +} /* long dotted line */ + +hr.hrbdsm +{ + width: 50%; + color: white; + background-color: white; + border: none; + border-bottom: 6px dotted black; + margin: 8% auto; +} /* short dotted line */ + +table { + margin-left: auto; + margin-right: auto; +} + +.pagenum { /* uncomment the next line for invisible page numbers */ + visibility: hidden; + position: absolute; + left: 92%; + font-size: smaller; + text-align: right; +} /* page numbers */ + +/* Images */ +img { + border: 1px solid black; + padding: 6px; +} + +.figcenter { + margin: auto; + text-align: center; +} + +.caption { + font-weight: bold; + font-size: 50%; +} + +/* other */ +.cursivecenter { + font-family: cursive; + text-align: center; + text-indent: 0%; +} +.smfontcenter { + text-align: center; + text-indent: 0%; + font-size: 75%; +} + +.bbox { + margin-left: 20%; + margin-right: 20%; + border: solid 2px; +} + +.center {text-align: center;} + +.smcap {font-variant: small-caps;} + +div.tnote { + border-style: dotted; + margin-left: 10%; + margin-right: 10%; + padding: 4%; + font-style: normal; + font-size: 75%; + text-align: justify; + background-color: #f6f2f2; +} + + </style> + </head> +<body> + + +<pre> + +The Project Gutenberg EBook of Mozart, by Thomas Tapper + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/34582-h/images/002.jpg b/34582-h/images/002.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..c4ba1b8 --- /dev/null +++ b/34582-h/images/002.jpg diff --git a/34582-h/images/cover.jpg b/34582-h/images/cover.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b70186c --- /dev/null +++ b/34582-h/images/cover.jpg diff --git a/34582-h/images/illus01.jpg b/34582-h/images/illus01.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..a6b7986 --- /dev/null +++ b/34582-h/images/illus01.jpg diff --git a/34582-h/images/illus02.jpg b/34582-h/images/illus02.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..5e27498 --- /dev/null +++ b/34582-h/images/illus02.jpg diff --git a/34582-h/images/illus03.jpg b/34582-h/images/illus03.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..9eb344d --- /dev/null +++ b/34582-h/images/illus03.jpg diff --git a/34582-h/images/illus04.jpg b/34582-h/images/illus04.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..399d052 --- /dev/null +++ b/34582-h/images/illus04.jpg diff --git a/34582-h/images/illus05.jpg b/34582-h/images/illus05.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..a5802d5 --- /dev/null +++ b/34582-h/images/illus05.jpg diff --git a/34582-h/images/illus06.jpg b/34582-h/images/illus06.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..57552ad --- /dev/null +++ b/34582-h/images/illus06.jpg diff --git a/34582-h/images/illus07.jpg b/34582-h/images/illus07.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..49d1120 --- /dev/null +++ b/34582-h/images/illus07.jpg diff --git a/34582-h/images/illus08.jpg b/34582-h/images/illus08.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..1e9d3c7 --- /dev/null +++ b/34582-h/images/illus08.jpg diff --git a/34582-h/images/illus09.jpg b/34582-h/images/illus09.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..63050b1 --- /dev/null +++ b/34582-h/images/illus09.jpg diff --git a/34582-h/images/illus10.jpg b/34582-h/images/illus10.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..4b69af3 --- /dev/null +++ b/34582-h/images/illus10.jpg diff --git a/34582-h/images/illus11.jpg b/34582-h/images/illus11.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..33ddf99 --- /dev/null +++ b/34582-h/images/illus11.jpg diff --git a/34582-h/images/illus12.jpg b/34582-h/images/illus12.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..bcf40da --- /dev/null +++ b/34582-h/images/illus12.jpg diff --git a/34582-h/images/illus13.jpg b/34582-h/images/illus13.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..7c78f70 --- /dev/null +++ b/34582-h/images/illus13.jpg diff --git a/34582-h/images/timeline.jpg b/34582-h/images/timeline.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..024bfd6 --- /dev/null +++ b/34582-h/images/timeline.jpg diff --git a/34582-h/music/mozart.mid b/34582-h/music/mozart.mid Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..ed52e23 --- /dev/null +++ b/34582-h/music/mozart.mid diff --git a/34582-pdf.pdf b/34582-pdf.pdf Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..0edca9f --- /dev/null +++ b/34582-pdf.pdf diff --git a/34582-pdf.zip b/34582-pdf.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..eba4c43 --- /dev/null +++ b/34582-pdf.zip diff --git a/34582.txt b/34582.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..68cee4f --- /dev/null +++ b/34582.txt @@ -0,0 +1,733 @@ +The Project Gutenberg EBook of Mozart, by Thomas Tapper + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

She had lessons from her +father on a kind of piano called a harpsichord. + +Here is a picture of one. + + [Illustration: MOZART'S HARPSICHORD.] + +When Wolferl was three years old he used to listen to Nannerl's playing. +He always watched and listened when Papa Mozart gave her a harpsichord +lesson. + +Little as he was, he would often go to the harpsichord and try to pick +out tunes with his chubby fingers. His father noticed that Wolferl could +remember quite a little of the music that Nannerl was practising. + +And here is a picture of Wolferl trying to reach the keys so as to play +the melody of his sister's lesson. + + [Illustration: THE INFANT MOZART AT THE PIANO.] + +When Wolferl was four years old he began to take lessons. + +While he practised no one ever spoke to him because he was so serious +about it. If other children came to play with Nannerl he would make +music for their games and marching; playing in strict time all the +while. + +Here is Nannerl's picture when she grew up to be a young lady. + + [Illustration: MOZART'S SISTER.] + +Father Mozart loved both of his children deeply and often played with +them. The violin was the instrument he liked best and little Mozart had +daily lessons in his home. Here we see him playing while his sister +sings. + + [Illustration: A MOZART FAMILY TRIO.] + +In this picture we see Papa Mozart, who was a very fine player on the +violin. Wolferl and Nannerl are playing the piano. + + [Illustration: MOZART PLAYING WITH HIS FATHER AND SISTER.] + +When Wolferl was nearly six his father took him and Nannerl on a concert +tour. Everybody wanted to hear them play and they gave many concerts. + +Wolferl spent all his boyhood with his music. He went to many places to +play, even as far from Salzburg, in Austria (where he was born), as to +Paris and London. + +Everywhere he went people were happy to see him and his sister and to +hear them play. And they, too, were happy to play because they loved the +music so much. + +When they reached Vienna they played for the Emperor and Empress. + +When Wolferl was presented to the Empress he jumped up into her lap and +kissed her. + +Wolferl was always busy composing music. But he played games and had a +good time just like any other boy. When he was busy with his music, +however, he never let his thoughts go to anything else. + +But we must not go too fast, for we want to see how Wolferl is growing +up. + +Here is his picture when he was five years old and beside it another +when he was eight years old. Do you see his wig and sword? + + [Illustration: MOZART AT FIVE.] + + [Illustration: MOZART AT EIGHT.] + +Everybody in Paris wanted to hear Wolferl play when they knew that he +had come, so they asked him to read at sight; to play the bass part to a +melody and to accompany a song without seeing the music. + +People also took great delight in asking him to play on the harpsichord +with a cloth stretched over the keyboard so that he could not see the +keys. + +They all went to London to play for the King. The King wanted to see for +himself how skilful little Mozart was, so he gave him pieces by Bach and +Handel to play at sight. Mozart read them off at once. Here is a fine +picture of the Mozart children when they played for the King and the +Queen. + + [Illustration: MOZART AT THE COURT OF THE EMPEROR.] + +It must have been very fine for a little boy of seven to play for kings +and queens. But Wolferl was not spoiled by it all. He was just a happy +hearted boy all the time. + +He always made it a rule to put his mind on what he was doing and do it +the very best he knew how. + +It is just as good a rule now as it was when he was alive. + +It is time now that we learned the birthday of Mozart. If we think of it +every year on the 27th of January, it will be easy to remember it. + +In what year was he born? + +Here is another picture of Mozart in 1766. How old was he then? +(Beethoven was born four years afterward.) + + [Illustration: MOZART IN 1766.] + +When anyone is always busy at one thing he soon gets a lot done. As +Wolferl grew and kept on writing music all the time he made a great many +pieces. Some were short like a song, others were long like an opera. He +wrote for the piano, the violin and the voice. And he composed operas, +symphonies and ever so many other kinds of music. + +Mozart liked to be alone when he was working upon his compositions. He +used to go to a little house on the edge of Vienna and lock himself in. +The people of the city of Salzburg, in Austria, took this house long +after Mozart's death and moved it to a park where all may go to see it, +just as we in America go to see the houses of William Penn, Lincoln and +Washington. + + [Illustration: WHERE MOZART COMPOSED.] + +Can you remember, without turning back, the year in which Mozart was +born? + +Some other great musicians were alive at that time. And during his +lifetime some were born who became great men. + +In the year when Mozart was born both Handel and Haydn were living. And +Haydn lived eighteen years after Mozart's death. + +You can remember it by these lines: + + |1732 The years of Haydn's life 1809| + ------------------------------------------------------ + |1756 The years of Mozart's life 1791| + -------------------------------------- + +When Mozart was fourteen years old Beethoven was born. Mozart knew him +and he knew Papa Haydn also, and they were very good friends. + +In our own country there lived in Mozart's lifetime Benjamin Franklin +and three Presidents of the United States--George Washington, John Adams +and Thomas Jefferson. + +I wonder if Washington ever heard of Mozart? + +Perhaps we can best keep all these names together by looking at this +page now and again. + + 1706 Benjamin Franklin was born. + 1732 Washington and Haydn were born. + 1736 Patrick Henry was born. + 1743 Thomas Jefferson was born. + 1750 Bach died. + 1756 WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART was born. + 1759 Handel died + 1770 Beethoven was born. + 1771 Walter Scott was born. + 1790 Franklin died. + 1791 Mozart died. + 1809 Joseph Haydn died. + +Isn't it fine to think of Mozart writing so much music, so many operas, +symphonies and sonatas; traveling so much, meeting so many people and +never being spoiled by it all. + +While he wrote many very great pieces of music, here is something he +composed when he was five years old. He made up the pieces at the piano +and his father wrote them down note for note in a little copy book. + + [Illustration] + + + FACTS ABOUT MOZART. + +Read these facts about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and try to write his +story out of them, using your own words.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/34582.zip b/34582.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..4c21db7 --- /dev/null +++ b/34582.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
