"The key to understanding the greatness of Mozart is the fact that his Music is permeated with the most humane quality – simplicity. That is what attracts us. Think of yourself. Do you like communicating with a sophisticated person, who has one complex after another and one issue better than another? No, of course not. While with a simple, open, sometimes, as we say, pure person, it is always nice to talk...
The secret of treatment with Music (in this case, Mozart's Music) lies in the ability to not only listen but also hear Music. The difference between hearing and listening is great. Unlike listening, which occurs automatically (as if on the autopilot), hearing is the ability to focus on something, remember and emotionally respond to the sound, enjoy! Hearing is an active process, while listening – passive. That's what I will now demonstrate for you. I will say just a few words about the work by the great Mozart, and after the reading you'll listen to it with pleasure..." Stepan Nederitsa (information from the CD leaflet)
