Auf der Suche nach Mozart is a contemporary classical composition by Romanian-German composer Violeta Dinescu. The piece was composed in 2006 and premiered on October 14, 2006, in the Konzerthaus Berlin, Germany. The composition is a tribute to the famous composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and it is a part of Dinescu's larger project, "Mozart-Phantasien." The composition consists of three movements, each exploring different aspects of Mozart's music. The first movement, "Mozart's Footsteps," is a playful and rhythmic exploration of Mozart's use of dance rhythms in his music. The second movement, "Mozart's Dreams," is a more introspective and contemplative piece that explores the emotional depth of Mozart's music. The final movement, "Mozart's Laughter," is a lively and joyful celebration of Mozart's wit and humor. Dinescu's composition is characterized by its use of contemporary techniques and sounds, such as extended techniques on the instruments and unconventional harmonies. However, the piece also incorporates elements of Mozart's music, such as his use of dance rhythms and his playful sense of humor. The result is a unique and engaging tribute to one of the greatest composers in history. Overall, Auf der Suche nach Mozart is a masterful composition that showcases Dinescu's skill as a composer and her deep appreciation for Mozart's music. Its premiere was met with critical acclaim, and it has since become a beloved piece in the contemporary classical repertoire.
