Since October 2019, Spot On MozART has been dedicated to the visual exploration of listening and thus to a new understanding of the music of Wolfgang Amadé Mozart. At the end of the project in autumn 2023, the Mozarteum University will present a retrospective of all implemented art and research projects in a comprehensive publication.
At night
The starting point for the film At night is the Fantasy in D minor by W. A. Mozart. Perhaps the most frequently played piano piece, at least among young music students, inspired a cinematic narrative in which the composer's biographical approaches and musical elements of the composition were associatively transformed into a woman's nocturnal journey through a big city, played by Jenny Schily.
Piano Fantasy in D minor, KV 397
A film by
Claudia Lehmann and Konrad Hempel
Musical interpretation
Daniel Regenberg
The night makes us look differently at our existence. Beautiful, but also mysterious, we approach our dark sides of our existence at night, but at the same time the night also frees us from all constraints and lets the imagination into our lives. Somewhere it has to go, somewhere it wants to go. But where does it arrive? Torn between longings and encounters, between genius and fear of failure, between freedoms and constraints, it finally encounters itself. In reality, everything is different or exactly the same.
