Does Elton John equal Mozart?
I have found some striking similarities between Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and the later contemporary singer, Elton John.

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player
Analysis of this piece.
What Elton John does in this piece, is to use an open piano, which sounds in similar fashion, to an old-time bar and saloon stile of upright piano.
He established a good rhythm, by the use of a repeating signature within the piece, which is kindof like a ya' ya, da da, piece, in repeating rhythm.
Then what is brought in, is a set of light horns, sax and brass, which come off in similar fashion to a chorus of kazoos, which fold into the breadth of the song.
>It goes, There's a cat in the window a dog in the yard and a year since you been good to me
I keep all your letters in a trunk in the corner, but still read a few to me.
But I can't help thinking about time, when you were a friend of mine, you use to please me, you use to tease me, elderberry wine.\\\Altered lyrics
What Elton John does in this scat of lyrics, is to not only paint of picture of what the singer of the song is going through, but the environment that he is in.
The upright piano, sounds like a quilled instrument, as this type of piano never is allowed to rest in its return to stillness of vibration values.
This is the same with a harpsichord, or a clavier, that was used in Mozart's time.
This type of plying of a very rest vibrational value, extolled a note of intellect in value in Mozart's time.
However in Elton Johns time, brings people together, as this type of sounding piano, seems to be more of a family oriented drinking establishment stile of stringed percussion instrument.
This one song of Elton John's is one of the terribly dynamic series of songs that Elton John Produced, however was sent by mail to Bernie Taulpin, who put the nature of the tune together.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, had phenomenal writing abilities within the many scores of music that he had written.
Mozart wrote music as a kind of language, but in his demeanor was a humble person inside, due to his wanted connection to the three penny operas, which were operas made for the working class.
For his tremendous I.Q. Mozart loved the supposed lower class and had produced many fine works for them.
I feel that Motzart was a driven man and always had suffered from the overbearing specter of his father's demands.
The blessing Mozart had was his wit and his ability to adapt to almost any social situation.
I will not dirge into his more ornate operas, however only point to one particular piece given in the movie, Amadeus.
There is a stage set and in the center edifice of this set, stands a woman, who is singing for all she is worth.
The background is made of stars, the set vibrant with light, but the demands of abilities asked of the singer, are way beyond anything that anyone could produce at the time.
I think that this is what Mozart wanted to produce, was shear musical genius, to show the world that sometimes God himself, gets into the process of musical creation.
I feel he did this once with Mozart and then a few years later, did the same thing with Elton John.
Both men have remarkable sets of intelligences.
Both at times, were noted as being both distrustful and caustic to their social environments.
Both at some times in their careers, showed excessive brilliance, in the type of music that they produced and held back nothing in the delivery of their music.
Philadelphia Freedom, is a piece that starts out like a cowboy western, in nature, but suddenly shifts to the era of the discothèque, in order to carry the flavor of the song, however this piece is also considerably dynamic within its delivery.
Like Mozart, Elton John adds, French horns and strings and somehow makes this work.
The funniest thing about Philadelphia Freedom, is the way he recruits a then dieing disco beat, which reminds me of go-go dancers in the cages, however makes what he is putting forward, bounce with a considerable bouncing dynamic.
>Sample, Philadelphia Freedom, by Bernie Taulpin and Elton John
Cause I live and breath Philadelphia Freedom
On the day I was born, born to wave the flag.
Philadelphia Freedom put me knee-high to a man
and gave me piece of mind my daddy never had\\\
I think what both Mozart and Elton John accomplish within what they have done, is to characterize the nature of uncommon creativity.
The one thing that Elton John possesses, that Mozart does not, it seems, is a golden voice.
sample and Elton John croons this> Cause I live and breath, phil-a-dephia free-dom\\
He stretches this first line stanza out, and lets a golden voice carry the content of what he's trying to say.
I feel the line, knee-high to a man, is a veiled reference to Thomas Jefferson, who was a past president of the United States, but was also a genius within his own right.
Jefferson help found William and Marry college and the University Of Virginia.
Jefferson also married a slave, which gives his line mixed Caucasian and Negroid births.
Jefferson like Elton John and Mozart, were visionaries eons ahead of their times.
Maybe in some repleative way, Elton John is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
It was Salairie who was a competitor to Mozart, who by chance tripped upon a couple of sheets of Mozart's written music, in the movie Amadeus.
What Murray Abraham does in their piece is look at what Mozart had written, then visualized the music and tasted the nature of the symphony, in a way with his own mind's eye.
If the future is to change in some way, that is nonpalatable, these two figures should by all right stand side by side and holds hands as a testament to the future.
This is as while their stiles and methods were so dissimilar, the end product and response they had on their listening audience, was very much alike.
