Awesome Mozart

Classical music and opera fans will recognize this tune as the Overture from Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro. Eddie Murphy fans remember it as the opening music from Trading Places. But wherever you know this masterful composition from, you’ll be wowed by this 4-part acoustic guitar cover by 40 Fingers.

It used to be if you wanted to play piano, you needed an actual piano. But with modern synthesizers, software, and controllers, you can play pretty much any instrument without having one. Composerily proves that point with a performance of Mozart’s Rondo Alla Turca on an MIDI Fighter 64 8×8 controller.

We’re used to musician Luca Stricagnoli performing fingerstyle arrangements of popular music on guitar. This time, Luca turned his attention to a classical composition – Mozart’s Serenade in G from Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, and played it on a six-string banjo. We love how he used that little bow to make violin sounds.

Being stuck on lockdown gets your mind roaming in some strange directions. For remixer William Maranci, it made him wonder what a The Black Eyed Peas and Mozart collaboration might have sounded like. Whatcha gonna do with all that junk inside your trunk, Wolfgang?

Musicians The GAG Quartet turns in a lighthearted tribute to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart that combines metal, salsa, and a bit of tango. Despite how that sounds, somehow it all works. Though Mozart might not be too happy with what they did to him in the video.
