K. 229 (K.382a): A canon for 3 voices, "Sie ist dahin
"Sie ist dahin" encapsulates Mozarts 1782 style by blending contrapuntal craftsmanship, expressive harmonic language, and emotional depth within a compact, vocally idiomatic framework. It stands as a testament to his ability to infuse even small-scale forms with profound artistry.
K. 233 "Leck mir den Arsch fein recht schön sauber"
Historically significant for its vivid illustration of Mozart's social environment, his use of humor, its role in debates about authorship, and as a testament to the enduring intersection of musical craft and personal expression in the Classical era.
K. 234 "Bei der Hitz im Sommer eß ich"
The historical significance of K. 234 lies in its representation of the secular canon tradition in Mozarts Vienna, valued for its social function, playful content, and as a case study in the complexities of composer attribution.
K. 559 "Difficile lectu"
The work was entered into Mozarts catalog on September 2, 1788, as part of a set of ten canons, and was likely written between 1786 and 1787. The lyrics, ostensibly in Latin, are a humorous bilingual pun designed to be heard as vulgar phrases in German and Italian when sung by a specific performerJohann Nepomuk Peyerl, whose Bavarian accent was the target of the joke.
K.562 Caro bell idol mio"
While canons and fugues are distinct contrapuntal forms, both require the careful interweaving of independent melodic lines, and both were central to Bachs legacy. Mozarts exposure to Bachs music, particularly through the study and transcription of Bachs fugues from The Well-Tempered Clavier, profoundly influenced his approach to counterpoint and polyphonic writing.
