Talk:A Musical Joke

Sym. #21 ?

An earlier example (1772) for which he forget to attach a funny name: Symphony No. 21. It too is remarkably rough-sounding. When I hear it I suspect that someone managed to sneak it into the catalog after his death. Either that, or, even Mozart now and then fashioned a clinker. Twang (talk) 19:39, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

I dunno. To me it seems stylistically reasonably Mozartian, although I'll agree that it's not quite as engaging as his twentieth. Therein lie the dangers of concluding a work's authenticity based solely on stylistic evidence! The autograph is extant (not signed, the title page contains the attribution to W. A. Mozart), so it's almost certainly Mozart's. Double sharp (talk) 14:51, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

What does "use of secondary dominants where subdominant chords are just fair" mean? Is "fair" a meaningful word to have here? It makes little sense to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chuckeee (talk • contribs) 23:41, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Punetor i Rregullt5: See what? That link is of no use. Please compare what you entered here with the score at NMA: http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/nma_cont.php?vsep=167&gen=edition&l=1&p1=223 . Your score bears no resemblance to the the published score, so I ask you to remove it. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 14:02, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

@Michael Bednarek: Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm a stupid, I have forgot to put the link. Click here. — Punetor i Rregullt5 (talk) 14:25, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

Your score is nothing like the one you point to on YouTube. I'm going to remove it. Please don't add it again. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 23:25, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

This article attributes the piece to the wrong Mozart.

I don't have the references to hand, but the piece titled "A Musical Joke" was not not by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, but by his Father, Leopold Mozart. The reference articles cited here are examples of particularly poor journalism. 82.40.243.106 (talk) 23:54, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

I am trying to change what I typed and I can't see how. I accept that what I felt i knew looks wrong. I was always sure that this particular piece was from Mozart's Dad. 82.40.243.106 (talk) 01:08, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

audio for horn part needs to be transposed into F

in the sound sample given for "Mozart's exercise in polytonality, from the end of the piece", the "Horn in F" part is playing at written pitch (in C major) when the audio needs to be transposed into F major. the score is correct as written, but since the horn in F is a transposing instrument, it should sound in F major when written in C major, but the sound sample has the horn part sounding in C major 2A00:23C8:E401:3701:6081:50A0:1A52:65B7 (talk) 15:56, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
