From the Paper
"Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a child prodigy and developed into the leading composer of his time, exerting an influence on music that continues to this day and that certainly shaped the next generation, creating a bridge of classicism between the era of Bach and that of Beethoven and the Romantics. Using a modern analysis of management, Mozart's influence on classical composers can be considered as an example of servant leadership. Servant leadership is a concept developed by Robert Greenleaf and others that sees leadership not as a top-down process as in the traditional hierarchical organization but instead as a process of collaboration and guidance. Such an approach is based on the "premise . . . that servant...""

Abstract
This paper considers the life and works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and how they fit with his era, showing the nature of the time in which he lived and how he affected music in that period. The paper notes how Mozart was always dependent on the largesse of patrons meaning political and social leaders of the era who funded artists and musicians and who often demanded certain types of art or music from their artists and composers.

From the Paper
"Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart left behind a large body of work in spite of his death at a relatively young age. He stands with Bach and Beethoven as one of the giants of music, in his case from the Classical era in the eighteenth century, an era marking a change from the earlier Baroque era and leading later to the beginning of the Romantic era. Mozart's work demonstrates many of the intellectual forces of his time and also shows the political influences on music and on the artist in that era. Mozart was always dependent on the largesse of patrons, meaning political and social leaders of the era who funded artists and musicians and who often demanded certain types of art or music from their artists and composers."

Abstract
This paper analyzes Mozart's Concerto for Violin & Orchestra No. 3 in G Major, K. 216, Movement I - Allegro. By using time codes to help the reader identify major changes in tempo, soloists and recapitulation, one can listen along to the movement and have a better understanding of Mozart's genius when writing his concertos.

From the Paper
"Mozart's Concerto No. 3 is in three movements. It was written in 1775 and the main theme played by the orchestra at the beginning of the first movement (Allegro) was borrowed from his Il re pastore ("The Shepherd King") (Lieberman, par. 2). The movement is set in the conventional sonata form with orchestral ritornellos alternating with the exposition, development, and recapitulation of the primary themes by the violin. The soloist gives a second exposition and the coda does not come until after an extended solo cadenza."

Abstract
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was an undeniable genius. Mozart's rejection of court musical life was transparent. Mozart's finances during the Vienna years must be counted a mystery. By the time of Mozart's final illness, he had completed only some of what has become known as "Mozart's Requiem". Considerable evidence suggests that Mozart dabbled in mathematics. In studying Mozart, we can see that his life was anything but ordinary.

Abstract
This paper discusses how the work of Don Campbell (1989) entitled, "The Mozart Effect", relates the story of Campbell's healing as well as many other healings through sound and music and how in particular, the music of Mozart is healing to human beings as well as other life forms. It looks at how the work provides conclusive evidence that music; particularly Mozart's music can be used to reduce high blood pressure and anxiety and how music can also break up cancer cells in our bodies and help to heal mental illnesses.

Summary and Conclusion

From the Paper
"According to Campbell, the Mozart Effect "does not only reflect Mozart's music. It's the importance of auditory stimulation and the importance of having an auditory environment for families in the home." (Nissman, 2002) Campbell is noted as having additionally stated that several studies "have shown that playing Mozart seems toe raise the IQ significantly if played 10 minutes before the task...you can stimulate the lazy student." (Nissman, 2002) Campbell warns against over-stimulation stating: "If a child is born into a home with a couple of siblings, computers, a TV, a boom box and in their room there's a large air conditions, this baby's going to be in auditory overload. In this day and age, a quiet environment as well as great stimulation are important." (Nissman, 2002) "

Abstract
This paper argues that Mozart does not deserve to be considered as one of history's most influential people. It argues that, while he was an immensely talented and prolific composer, Mozart's lasting fame seems to be based largely on the ideal of him as a romantic artist, rather than on the body of his work. In addition, Mozart's fame can be attributed also to his family's great influence. The paper states that Mozart's work can be argued to be lacking in many areas, including the lack of depth in his church music, the lack of nature or a sense of fun and whimsy in his work, and flaws within his early work. In addition, Mozart's work fails to show any real innovation in genre or theme, which can be said to be the mark of a truly great or influential musician.

From the Paper
"For instance, Mozart's depiction as sensitive, mercurial, arrogant, and his early death has grabbed the public's imagination much more than the descriptions of the equally talented Hayden, who is often described as calm, kingly, and deliberate, and who lived a longer life (Oldman). Further, Mozart's family was influential and driven, likely playing a large part in Mozart's success, while Hyden's family was much less influential and had meager means, thus likely limiting Hyden's success. Despite these differences in opportunity, Hyden produced material that many consider to be the equal or superior of Mozart's works, and possessing a uniqueness that indicates great artistic maturity (Oldman)."

Abstract
The paper discusses the sixteen German lieder (songs) which are largely unknown works of Mozart. The paper explains that Mozart was a forerunner for German lieder and that his influence is seen in many of Franz Shubert's early works. The writer describes some of the stories told by Mozart's songs and compares "An Chloe" to "Abendempfindung", written on the same day, yet polar opposites. The writer explains that "An Chloe" is about the love of a shepherd for a shepherdess and "Abendempfindung" is a reflection on death. The paper compares the styles of Mozart and Schubert's songs. In conclusion, the writer posits that Mozart helped build the foundation for German lieder and although his songs are not the most frequently performed in this genre, they were very important in establishing the tradition of German lieder.

From the Paper
"In "An Chloe", Mozart once again crafts the music exquisitely around the poetry. "An Chloe" is a pastoral poem. Damon, a shepherd, is in love with Chloe, a shepherdess. This song has a six-measure introduction closing with a cadence and is primarily in the tonic. There is a measure of dominant in the third system and the first phrase ends in a cadence. The second phrase moves to the dominant and chromatic elements are presented with the introduction of "und ich halte dich... (and I hold you and kiss...)." This is the beginning of the real passion of the song and it is fitting that the chromaticism begins here. The beginning of the song is repeated in measure 28, but begins to be varied chromatically in measure 35 as the shepherd talks about holding Chloe tightly to his breast. The broken rhythms in measures 41-43 show the breathlessness of anticipation before the soaring vocal line for "eine dustre Wolke mir (a gloomy cloud to me)." The same idea of breathlessness is repeated in measures 49-51 and 56-59 before the climax of the song in measures 62-66. This climax has the most operatic vocal lines so far. The shepherd is saying "aber selig neben dir (but blissful beside you)". The song ends with a final cadence."

Abstract
The author states many music historians believe that Mozart attained his greatest heights as a composer with his string quintets. The paper analyzes the minuet as a musical translation of popular musical dances of the era and compares the two minuets. The paper continues that it is important to recognize that listeners of Mozart today are different from listeners in Mozart's day. The author concludes that, to understand Mozart's Minuets, the listener must explore the roots of the form of the piece and the piece's history.

From the Paper
"Before analyzing the pieces themselves, one must first consider exactly what a minuet is. A minuet is dance in a moderate triple time. It has a light texture. "Some minuets have a cross-rhythm that makes two bars of 3/4 sound like one bar of 3/2 (as in courante). Unlike other dances, it is often in ternary form. It is one of the only Baroque dance forms that survived into the late symphony of the Classical era, besides the trio." From a listener's point of view, this "light" or "sprightly" texture translates into an almost humorous, dancing quality to the music."
