There are a lot of anecdotes about all of that, but what emerges is a clear conviction that he needed to find, pursue and win his own liberty, and that he needed to become even more of a man of the Enlightenment – he shared so many philosophical aspects of this new wind which was blowing in the late eighteenth century, and his Masonic initiation in Vienna in 1784 was just one element of that, as was his hunger for a new sort of relationship with a librettist.
#RAPHAEL PICHON FREE#
This period was really the period where Mozart made a clear and committed decision to be free: to be free from his father, to be free in his musical convictions. I was very surprised to discover that although Mozart didn’t write any new operas between Die Entführung and Le nozze di Figaro, it was a period of intense change in his life: there were so many important meetings with people, as well as the move from Salzburg to Vienna.
What inspired you to focus on this relatively fallow period in Mozart's career, and what's the significance of the album's title?Ī few years ago I spent a year focusing on the Mozart letters, and I really wanted to discover and understand this transition between Die Entführung aus dem Serail and the birth of the dramma giocoso.
