F X Mozart
« on: Sunday 05 July 2009, 22:11 »
 If you enjoy Mozart piano concertos as I do, and want more you only need go to his youngest son Franz Xaver Mozart(1791-1844), whose 2 concertos, to me at any rate, mirror Wolfgang's style, if not his genius. These are currently available on a Novalis CD. F X Mozart seems to have written some piano music and a handful of chamber works but not much else, most of his adult life being spent as a concert pianist and a teacher. Neither he nor his only surviving elder brother married and so the Mozart line of musicians died out with them.
Cheers,
     John.

I have that F.X.Mozart CD.  Excellent music.  The apple did not fall far from the tree.
