RE: Even The Great Mozart Failed — True Bravery

Hey there @sweetsoul

Mozart! It is nice you bring him as an example. He was a genius, as they say, though nothing can be achieved without work and persistence, indeed.

Another came when he performed "The Marriage of Figaro" in Wien, the Archduke Ferdinand of Australia hated this piece and even went on to call it noisy.

Hmm, are you sure it was Archduke Ferdinand? Btw, it should be of Austria (a tiny country in Europe where Mozart lived, not Australia)
This Archduke was born in 1863 and Mozart died in 1791, so I can't imagine Mozart performing it for him. Can you please clarify it? thanks :)

Hi @mipiano

Yes, you are correct, he didn't perform the song For Archduke Ferdinand.

I simply meant to point out that his first set of performances at Burgtheater Wien was not great as Martín y Soler’s Una Cosa rara came on the scene and essentially pushed Mozart's work aside.

Archduke Ferdinand only made the statement later on when he listened to the piece.

Pardon my poor rendering in the article. I've made adjustments. Thank you very much

That makes more sense now :))
