Jeremiah Hong Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Do you ever get deja vu when listening to a piece of music? I get them all the time when I listen to Mozart sonatas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I actually used to get deja vu listening to Beethoven's 3rd piano concerto, but not really anymore. Hard to explain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CreationArtist Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 That's because Mozart is famous for reusing melodic phrases nearly everwhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHEKHAR Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Yes, this is very much true for Mozart. It's perhaps natural for someone who had to write a bit too many things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JohnGalt Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Haha, before I knew much about Prokofiev, I'd hear the famous "March" from Love for Three Oranges in his other pieces and get really confused. Then it happened again while listening to Love For Three Oranges shortly after Star Wars. The similarities are so uncanny, one can only think John Williams had a special fondness for Prokofiev :whistling: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulP Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Do you ever get deja vu when listening to a piece of music? I get them all the time when I listen to Mozart sonatas. I believe it's intended. Mozart was a master at making musical connections that sometimes aren't easily identified. "It fits", but sometimes the reason why is ellusive. That's part of the genius. And I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bach_in_black Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 When i'm trying to figure a melody, and actually get one, it develops into dejavu :toothygrin: I think we all know what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 When i'm trying to figure a melody, and actually get one, it develops into dejavu :toothygrin: I think we all know what I mean. Yes. Then I tend to discard it.:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
