The Complete Collection.

Goldfinch60



They arrived today;

This box, that contains 

The sounds of heaven,

Composed by a young man,

Taken from us before his time.

 

I open the box with such joy,

Knowing that the ones missing

From the collection, I have been amassing

For more than forty years,

Is now complete.

 

Now I can listen in wonder,

At the absolute genius, of a man

To whom music seemed so easy;

A man admired by all,

Even his composing peers.

 

Which shall I play first;

One I know intimately,

Or one not well known to me?

I have heard them all, but now they are mine,

To enjoy at my whim.

 

I shall savour every one of them

In my life, if I am granted time.

The complete creations

Of the genius who died so young;

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

      • sorenbarrett

        So seldom lightning strikes and one sees it but all hear its thunder. So seldom that so many agree that one is a genius there always seems to be controversy, not in this case, I have never heard one say contrary. A wonderful poem that reveres him many years later on vinal or maybe CD.

        • Goldfinch60

          So very true soren, as Sir Thomas Beecham once said " In music only the first note and the last note is important except with Mozart where every note is important."

            Music makes the world go round, it's such a shame video games now do the same, fortunately not in my home . I've always loved your appreciation for music dear Andy. 🌹

              Nor in my home Teddy, music is always being played. Thank you.

                  So beautiful a conveying of a sense of gratitude, an acknowledgment of life’s fleeting nature, and the legacy of a talent that transcends generations, leaving its mark indelibly upon the hearts of listeners.

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Such fine words arqios and very much appreciated, thank you.
