Art Techniques

Works of art have often been endowed by their audience with talismanic force. Their impact exceeds the visual impression they make. This seems natural enough when we consider the fact that the most ambitious works of art produced by ancient civilizations were religious. To those who originally encountered them, they seemed to speak directly from the gods. Their makers were very seldom recorded, though the names of those who ordered them to be made - pharaohs, emperors and kings - quite frequently survive.

Auf keinen Fall möchte Mezzo mit Malte ins Museum gehen. Bilder angucken von irgendwelchen Malern, die schon lange nicht mehr leben, wozu das denn? Das wird bestimmt stinklangweilig... Doch dann erzählt ihm Malte die Geschichte von Lea und Finn, die unter einer Bank einen roten Knopf entdecken, mit dessen Hilfe sie plötzlich selbst in die Gemälde hineingezogen werden. Die gemalte Welt wird real, es beginnt ein Gruselabenteuer. Die Geschwister müssen unter anderem einem unheimlichen Gnom, einer hungrigen Hexe und einem pflichtbewussten Museumswärter entkommen.

"Da fährt Mozart im Schneckentempo mit der Kutsche nach Paris und sieht noch nicht einmal den Eiffelturm?!" Mezzo ist völlig entsetzt. "Naja, den gab's damals noch nicht. Aber er hat in Paris zum ersten Mal einen Regenschirm gesehen." Den werden Malte und Mezzo hoffentlich nicht brauchen, denn sie sind diesmal unterwegs in den Urlaub: nach Bella Italia. Dabei hören sie viel Mozart-Musik im Radio und erkunden das Leben von Wolfgang Amadeus.

Warum weiß niemand genau, an welchem Tag Ludwig van Beethoven geboren wurde? Während er seine eigene Geburtstagsparty plant, pfeift Mezzo zufällig eine Melodie des weltberühmten Komponisten und will immer mehr über ihn wissen. Wieso wirkte Beethoven oft so mürrisch? Weil er sein Gehör verlor? Oder weil sein Vater ihn schon mit 5 Jahren zu einem Wunderkind à la Mozart drillen wollte? Wie kann jemand so schöne Melodien komponieren und gleichzeitig so chaotisch leben, dass er bis zu 4 Wohnungen parallel zumüllt? Mezzo ist fasziniert von dem Musikgenie, das die Natur genauso liebte wie Makkaroni mit Käse.

Was kann diese berühmte Zauberflöte eigentlich zaubern und warum ist die Königin der Nacht so wütend? Mezzo fragt Malte heute lauter Löcher in den Bauch zur berühmtesten und letzten Oper von Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
