Mozart's Favorite

Nelson · Post by **Nelson** » Sat Aug 14, 2004 6:05 pm

Does anybody have the music to "Mozart's Favorite" played by Chris Norman on "The Man With The Wooden Flute". I found a reference to it in a Library of Congress catalogue but no music.

Thanks, Nelson

If you mean the sheet music, etc, I use this site all the time.

You'll find it, but you have to type in mozart's favourite

This looks like a tough tune! It probably helps to have heard it!

Thanks Mary, I found many tunes I had been looking for. Greet site. The Mozart's Favourite was not the Mozart's Favorite tha Chirs Norman plays in "The Man With the Wooden Flute". Any more suggestions.

You can always email Chris and ask him where he got it.

If that fails, it's probably time to buy the Amazing Slowdowner... don't forget to publish it in JC's when you'r done!

Glauber -- this would be a good time to ask I guess since it's definitely on-topic.

What's the rules with publishing stuff in note form when the music itself is copyright (I know the tune is "Mozart's Favorite", but let's say for argument's sake that this tune is NOT by Mozart and not itself public domain).

Aren't there copyright issues here?

And I'm asking since I'm genuinely interested. I have transcribed stuff from the Wooden Flute CDs and have not made it public since the tracks are probabyl copyright, i.e. they are not traditional tunes.

Maybe I should start a thread on this?

Cheers,

Az

I didn't think of that.

I don't know... i'd assume any melody in that album is old enough to be in the public domain (although Chris and his people could claim copyright for the arrangements). I'm "pretty sure" (IANAL) that transcribing the notes for your own use and sharing with your friends is OK, but putting them online may not be. I don't know why, it just feels this way.

Better ask a lawyer!

I don't know enough about music to say that the above is Norman's version or not.

I also found this version of the waltz at the Library of Congress;

http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/ampage?co ... ssm:@field(TITLE+@od1(Mozart's+favorite+waltz,+with+variations++))&linkText=0

A large image of the music, four pages in all.

I searched; Rily and Mozart's favorite" in Google.

Hope this helps!

Nelson already said, above, that it isn't.

1 out of 2 ain't bad me'thinks! Maybe someone can put the real one into ABC for us, since I struggle to read the dots!

Um, those are the same tune.

Like, exACTly the same tune. The Library of Congress one and the one in JC's tunefinder. At least, the first parts are the same. The ABC one doesn't have the lower hand, but they're the same thing.

Is there another one that's actually it, or is this tune the one Norman plays?

I believed what the earlier poster said

, and since the one in JC seemed a little messy, i didn't check it. I listened to the CD and followed the notes in the L of C version, and i'm pretty sure that's the right one. If they're the same, then the other one is the right one too!

Well hey, what can you do, Glauber, when Nelson's not being frank with us.

Just kidding, Nelson.
