Maria Tul chief lived from to. 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:56.680 Maria was America's first Prima Ballerina. Maria's father was part 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:58.760 of the O sage nation and she grew up on 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:02.600 the o sage reservation in Oklahoma. A statue of her 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.720 and four other native American ballerinas, known as five moons, 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:15.480 stands on Ancestral Muskogee land in Oklahoma prospects. Alright, so, 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.200 graceon and Owen, we've talked a little bit about music, 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.880 because Owen U is a piano player as well. Um, 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:23.640 but I want to ask you what do you think 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:27.120 about when you think about the ballet? Like, what is 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.240 the first thing that comes to your mind when I 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:31.599 say the Word Ballet? Owen, what do you think about? 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:37.200 I think about performance, acting, all the stage stuff. I 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:41.320 just ballerina just comes to me like a huge performance 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:45.159 with like a bunch of dancers dancing like two twos. 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:50.200 Have you ever seen a ballet? No, okay, and what 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.920 about you? Grayson, have you ever seen a ballet before? 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:56.240 I have. I saw the first half of the cracker. 0:04:56.800 --> 0:05:00.960 Oh okay, now, why only the first half? Because the 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:04.440 place I was showing it was on only shows. It's 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.520 a tradition. They only show the up two when the 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:14.480 store of Clara shrinking and walking through the world trying 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:19.280 all the fun creatures there. I didn't mean the prints. 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:22.000 I see. And do they show you all the dances 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.520 from the different countries that represent different candies? Because a 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:26.400 lot of the second half of the nutcracker is just 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.320 one dance after another. There's no story, it's just candy dances. Yeah, 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:32.600 there's just there's a bunch of there was a lot 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:37.640 of the scene before that was candies. So it sounds 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:39.280 like it sounds like they played a fair amount of 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:42.920 the nutcracker. They danced it. I my family growing up. 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:44.920 We went to see the nutcracker at the New York 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.600 City ballet every year at holiday time and I grew 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:50.880 up really loving the ballet and I was always amazed 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:54.520 at how the ballet dancers seems so graceful and when 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:56.560 I tried it at home I would fall down a 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:58.760 lot and make a lot of noise and they just 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.480 seemed to not do that, so I always wondered how 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.080 they did it. Yeah, but Elliott Um falling down a 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.040 lot and making a lot of noise. That's like modern 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:09.560 dance and that's the kind of thing. Yeah, so there 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:11.360 is a place. There is a place for all kinds 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.280 of dancers. Oh, that's fantastic. Well, finally I can live 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.000 my dream of being a dancer falls down a lot, 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:18.480 makes a lot of noise. That's the most inspiring episode 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:20.800 of who was podcast? Yet I love it. Don't come 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:24.440 for me, modern dancers. I know you're listening. Thank you 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:27.680 for those, for those candid ballet opinions. I think it's 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:29.560 time to move on to our first game. It's a 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:31.800 ballet themed game. Because this is Maria Tal chief. It's 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:43.000 called Swan fake. In this game, you will each have 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:45.680 thirty seconds to get through as many true or false 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.760 statements about Maria Tal chief as possible. If the statement 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:52.400 B says about Maria's life is true, say firebird, after 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:55.560 Maria's starmaking role in the ballet of the firebird. If 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:59.320 it's fake, say Swan fake. Maria also danced in Swanley. 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.440 If you don't know the answer, say pass which is 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:04.120 a dance move, and then we'll move on. So if 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:07.760 it's true, say firebird. If it's fake, say Swan, fake, 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:09.000 and if you don't know and you just want to 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:12.680 go the next one, say pass a. h okay, Elliott 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:16.320 is going to time and producer Jane will keep score, 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:19.680 and each answer you get correct is worth one point, 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:23.640 because this is our first game.

I think I deserved some credit for that. 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:48.319 Thank you, Elliot, for not doing that. And let's keep 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:50.800 the show going as we find out who was Mozart 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:57.080 with four fast facts. Facts. Mozart was born in seventeen 0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:02.320 fifty six and died in in Austria. Mozart started composing 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:05.000 music at the age of five. He wrote over six 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.920 hundred pieces of music. Mozart had a musical mind and 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:11.280 could retain pieces of music even after hearing them only once. 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:20.480 I know we were saying earlier. So, Grayson, you have memorized, Um, 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.839 all of the presidents of the US, and it sounds 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:24.680 like you and Mozart sort of have that in common, 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:29.280 like having this like great um sort of memory. Um. 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:32.040 But what comes to your mind when we say like 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:35.800 Mozart or classical music? What do you what? What do 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:37.920 you think of when we say that? Grayson, I think 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:42.080 of this songs, Rondo, Turkey Piano Chart in twenty one. 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:45.320 I don't know that. And what's the what's the what's 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.160 the is there a particular classical song that you like, 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:49.440 even not just to play but to listen to? No, 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:53.400 I don't really like to classical music. So what kind 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:54.520 of music do you like to listen to? You like 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:57.400 to play classical but you like to listen to other music. Yeah, 0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:01.400 I kind of like country pop, like sort of stop. 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:05.000 All right, who, who are your top artists? What about 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:07.640 the most country pop person I've ever heard of, which 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:11.520 is a Taylor Swift? Are you a swift? Eh? Yes, okay, Great. 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:14.280 I wanted to mention there's two classical songs. There's one 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:15.920 classic Song I listened to whenever I need to get 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:18.000 really energized, and there's one classical song I listened to 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:20.200 when I need to calm down. And the classical song 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:21.760 I like, I listened to when I need to energize, 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.040 is the twelve overture. You know it. It's one that 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:32.080 goes that boom, that boom boom. There's real cannons in 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:35.160 the song. It's bonkers. And then the song I need 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:36.840 to listen to when I calm down is I listened 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:40.040 to Venus by Gustav Holst, from the planet's symphony, and 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:42.200 it's a very calm song and I like to listen 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:43.719 to it at the end of the day when it's 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:45.760 time for me to go to bed. and Venus is 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:50.520 the gause of love, and soothe thinks exactly. So the 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:58.240 songs makes sense. Jupiter is like big, it's like bump, bump, bump, bump, bump, bump, bump, bump, bomb, bump, bump, bomb, 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:02.040 and Neptune, I don't know how that was. So I 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:07.320 think the Nepton one is like under the sea. All right, 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:09.920 we got keep moving because they're getting into copyright issues. 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:13.240 Now let's get to know more about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:22.400 In this next game it's called Hashtag history, Hashtag, Hashtag, history, Hashtag, Hashtag. 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:28.840 In this game we will read to a Hashtag Mozart 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:31.319 would have used during his life if there were social 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.959 media at the time, and you will tell us what's 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.080 that Hashtag all about? What's that tweet all about? And 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:39.040 because this is our second game, each question is worth 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:42.480 two points. So, Owen, this first question is for you. 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:45.160 You've heard of wordle but growing up, my family and 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:49.880 I called my sister by this nickname. Hashtag, sister, sister, Hashtag. 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:54.000 It's all relative. What was Mozart's sister's nickname? Was it 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:59.920 a Naneral or be strue soul. I'm so sorry. The 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:03.560 anser was a Nanaal Maria, Anna, Mozart's older sister, was 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:07.040 also a musician. It's okay, there's lots more points opportunities 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:09.520 coming up. She performed with Mozart when they were very young. 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:12.720 She helped him notate his earliest symphonies and she composed 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:15.280 her own music. But NANARAL was expected to get married 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:17.480 and raised children, not pursue a career of her own. 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:21.800 Eighteenth Century, the better eighteenth century. Next question is for Grayson. 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:25.240 Take it away. Be met someone today. She's the queen 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:29.839 of my heart. Hashtag woman crushed Wednesday. Hashtag. Let them 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:33.280 eat wedding cake, Maria, they did. Let me, let me 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:36.080 do the options. Yes, it was about raising you got it. 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:38.480 The six year old Mozart was performing for the Queen 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:41.560 of Hungary. A six year old Marie Antoinette helped him 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:43.920 after he fell and he proclaimed he would marry her. 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:46.480 This was hilarious to everyone there because at six she 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:48.520 was already engaged to the future King of France, lose 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:50.640 the sixteenth, and destined to be the next queen of France. 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:53.720 You know, typical six year old stuff. Come on, eighteenth 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:57.480 century next question. Let's go back to Owen. Records haven't 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:00.480 been invented yet, but my father insists I go after 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:05.760 those royalties. Hashtag will never be royals. Hashtag yes, Queen. 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:08.600 Is this about a Mozart trying to be employed as 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:10.800 a concert master in the court of a King or Prince? 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:14.400 or Be Mozart spending too much money on wigs and clothing? 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:18.280 That's right. The answer is a an artist like Mozart 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:20.000 to make a living at that time he needed the 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:23.760 help of wealthy patrons and the aristocracy. His father harked 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:26.120 on the importance of this in his many letters to Mozart. 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:28.520 It also brings up the idea of class distinction in 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:31.480 the white male exclusivity associated with classical music. It's a 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:33.160 topic we'd love one of our listeners to do a 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:35.600 ten part podcast about. I would love to listen to it. 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.120 Please put it out there. And this last question is 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:41.880 for Grayson. You're invited to the wedding. A lot of 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:46.480 wedding singers, but no bocae Toss Hashtag wedding craft shirts. 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:51.680 HASHTAG romantic overtures. Is this tweet referring to a Mozart's 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.960 marriage to his wife Costanza or be his hit opera, 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:58.720 the marriage of Figaro. There is a Figaro. That's right, 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.120 it's the marriage of figure it's a huge success for 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:03.920 Mozart helped him establish his name as a musician. He 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.720 went on to write three other beloved operas before his 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:09.320 death at just thirty five. You know, the opening of 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:19.280 Marrija Figro is very famous. It goes like this. Oh 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:23.680 my goodness, Bravo, Bravo, Elliott, you're a tenor. Wow, yeah, 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:26.040 but that performance was more of a twelve, if I'm 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:29.640 being honest. Okay, I like. I like the magic flu. 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:34.760 Al Baldo's essay. The magic flu was also a beautiful opera. 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:37.680 Amazing job to both of our contestants. You did great 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:46.880 at Hashtag history, history, and now let's go to producer 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:49.600 chain with the musical scores. That's it, I did it. 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:54.160 I made a musical score joke. I couldn't resist. I'm sorry. Wow. Well, 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:58.640 Owen has seven, but Grayson is sliding right up behind 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:03.080 the six points. This game is so close. Thank you, Jane. 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:05.280 And now, before we move on to our final game, 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:08.520 we have a very special guest. It's America's own Prima 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:12.320 Bell Rena, herself Maria Tulchief. Hello, I'm thank you for 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:16.200 having me. Of course, Maria joined us via the WHO 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:19.320 was that? That's right, I took the liberty of choreographing 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:22.360 a dance to the jingle. May I perform it? That 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:27.600 would be incredible. A five, six, seven, twelve. Who was 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:38.600 wandering in the first Oh wow, that was beautiful. Elliott, 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:43.080 are you crying a little bit? I have that effect 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:46.320 on people. I heard the former leader of the USSR, 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:49.120 Chrius Cheff, wept when he watched me perform in the 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:51.960 Soviet Union in the nineteen fifties. We have no way 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:56.760 to verify, but that tracks. Maria, love brings you here today. 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:59.880 You all have so much fun playing games on this podcast. 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:02.680 I brought a game of my own to share. It's 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:15.200 called rounds of applause. Sounds Fun. Yes, B was supposed 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:18.600 to tell you about it so you could prepare. Wait beat. 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:22.840 What cool, Elliott. It'll be fun. I love dancing and 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:25.600 I love the applause that tame with it. I became 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:28.800 something of an applause expert and can recognize where applause 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:31.520 is from when I hear it. So in this game, 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:34.920 B will play applause and Elliott and I will try 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:38.840 to name what it's from. Nobody, nobody doesn't not want 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:42.680 to hear this game. Let's go. Maria's up first. Here 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:49.240 is your round of applause. That's a golf clack. I 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:52.560 think it's from the seventy masters, where Jack Nicklaus won 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:57.720 his thirteenth major title. Correct, Elliott. This next round is 0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:03.960 for you. This feels unfair. Uh, is that from like 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:10.400 the musical wicked? Wrong, I'm going to steal. That's when 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:12.800 I danced the sugar pump ferry from the nutcracker at 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:16.400 the Bullshoy theater in nineteen sixty. I was the first 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:19.200 American to dance at the Bullshoy, which is Russia's most 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:24.040 prestigious theater. Correct, Maria to this next round of applause 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:30.280 is for you. That's from Elliott's high school play. You 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:32.960 can detect just a hint of resentment from the audience 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:34.879 for having to pretend he did a good job as 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:38.800 Danny Zuko in Greece. I did do a good job, Maria, 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:42.359 is correct. My Mom said I did a good job. Okay, 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:50.480 last round of applause is for Elliott. Uh. Is it 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:56.960 from the musical wicked? Nope, Maria, for this deal. Dancers 0:18:56.960 --> 0:18:59.919 will often perform short scenes from ballets at dance shows. 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:03.520 That applause was from when I danced pizzicato from the 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:09.920 ballet is Sylvia at Jacob's pill dance theater. Correct. Wow. 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:17.920 That's the end of round of applause and now to 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:22.280 producer Jane with the scores. What Jane? You knew about 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:26.000 this too. That's right, Elliott in the biggest victory we've 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:30.040 ever seen on who was. It's Maria with four points, 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:36.119 Elliott with zero. Oh my, that was marvelous. Thank you 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:43.000 for having me and things again. who was up? Well, 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:45.320 I'M gonna go try and recover from that defeat and 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:48.800 we'll be back with the final game after this short break. Eric, 0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:51.480 can you please play us some surprise me with a game. 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:59.879 I wasn't ready for music. Jum Sally, who was asked 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:03.960 same one. Marie Curie. You may remember me from winning 0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:07.840 multiple Nobel Prizes, or perhaps from my episode of the 0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:11.600 WHO worst podcast where I played myself. I wanted to 0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:14.280 take a moment to read one of my favorite reviews 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:18.600 about the WHO was podcast. This is from Shaken Bay 0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:22.760 and it reads loved this. Me and my little sister 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:27.400 love this show more, please. Our faith is Arie Toman. 0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:30.280 If you want to hear your review right on the air, 0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:34.320 make sure to subscribe, like and review to the worst 0:20:34.359 --> 0:20:37.280 podcast in the I heart radio up or wherever you 0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:45.760 get your podcasts. REVOIR, or should I stay Abbia? We're 0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:48.840 back on the WHO was podcast. When we last left, 0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:53.119 Brason had six points and Owen had seven points. And 0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:57.600 now back to your host, Elliott Daylen. Thank you me. 0:20:57.920 --> 0:21:00.400 It's a close game. Let's see what happened in this, 0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:14.640 our last game. It's called converge of greatness. What beautiful music. 0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:16.560 I think Mozart wrote that. No, was Eric. In this 0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:19.119 multiple choice game we'll explore how the lives of Maria 0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:23.840 Tal chief and Mozart connect, overlap or converge. And because 0:21:23.840 --> 0:21:27.600 we're in the third round, each question is worth three points. Ready, 0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:31.280 the first question goes to Grayson B. Take it away. 0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:36.240 Both Maria Tal Chief and Mozart had important relationships with artists. 0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:40.800 Maria and the choreographer George Balanchine were life and artistic 0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:44.560 partners and created the New York City Ballet. Mozart was 0:21:44.640 --> 0:21:50.080 friendly with this classical composer. Was it a Johann Sebastian Bach? B, 0:21:50.600 --> 0:21:56.119 Joseph Hyden or C A DUA LIPA? That's right, the 0:21:56.160 --> 0:21:58.919 answer is be. The composer Joseph Hayden was a mentor 0:21:58.960 --> 0:22:02.000 and friend to young most art, and Mozart dedicated six 0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:05.200 quartets to him. You know, my favorite hide and Quartet 0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:10.080 is the hide and go seek. Yes, we did it, 0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:12.040 we did it. We made a hide and joke. Okay. 0:22:12.240 --> 0:22:15.920 The next question is for Owen. Mozart and Maria both 0:22:15.920 --> 0:22:18.480 had close calls with their health at different points in 0:22:18.560 --> 0:22:22.359 their lives. While Mozart was able to recover from smallpox, 0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:26.560 Maria almost missed her big debut due to this illness. 0:22:27.240 --> 0:22:32.440 Is it a infected tonsils, b Shin splints or see 0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:37.240 dance fever? Hey, that's right, the answer is A. Maria 0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:39.840 almost missed her debut in the firebird because she was 0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:42.840 very sick. She had to have her tonsils removed and 0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:45.479 had only two days rest before she took the stage 0:22:45.480 --> 0:22:49.159 and brought down the house with her incredible tonsilness performance. 0:22:49.400 --> 0:22:54.600 Next question Grayson. Maria's relationship with her father was complicated. 0:22:55.000 --> 0:22:58.040 She says she idolized him in many ways, but his 0:22:58.119 --> 0:23:02.280 alcoholism made him unreliable. Bol Mozart also had a difficult 0:23:02.320 --> 0:23:06.480 relationship with his father Leopold, and much of their correspondence 0:23:06.560 --> 0:23:11.919 focuses around this issue. A Leopold's wish that Mozart give 0:23:12.040 --> 0:23:16.639 up music and get a real job, B leobold begging 0:23:16.680 --> 0:23:20.600 Mozart to put him in an opera or see. Leopold 0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:24.320 was upset with Mozart over the way he spent money. 0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:29.159 It's I guess in it's money. That's right. The answer 0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:31.960 is seeing. Leopold was very supportive of Mozart having a 0:23:32.040 --> 0:23:34.400 career in music and taught him how to play instruments, 0:23:34.440 --> 0:23:38.560 but he was him quote, not mad, but disappointed, unquote, 0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:41.640 at the choices Mozart made with his money. Maybe Mozart 0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:43.119 should have listen to his dad a little bit. At 0:23:43.119 --> 0:23:45.440 the time of his death, he was very deep in debt. 0:23:45.680 --> 0:23:47.639 And now it's time for the last question. This is 0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:52.160 for Owen. Mozart wrote the fantasy like opera the magic flute, 0:23:52.280 --> 0:23:54.800 where the hero of the story is given a magic 0:23:54.840 --> 0:23:57.840 flute to help him on his quest. In the firebird 0:23:58.160 --> 0:24:00.600 Maria danced the part of a fire a bird who 0:24:00.600 --> 0:24:02.760 tells a young man she will help him if he 0:24:02.840 --> 0:24:07.080 calls her using this magical object. Is it a a 0:24:07.200 --> 0:24:12.280 messenger bird, be a super sick muscle car or see 0:24:12.560 --> 0:24:17.119 a magic feather? Um, let's see the magic feather. The 0:24:17.200 --> 0:24:19.840 answer yes, it's see a magic feather. The story of 0:24:19.840 --> 0:24:22.159 the firebird is based on a Russian folk tale, but, 0:24:22.240 --> 0:24:25.000 unlike many other operas at the time, the magic flute 0:24:25.040 --> 0:24:27.119 was not based on a pretty existing story, but a 0:24:27.119 --> 0:24:30.840 collaboration between Mozart and an Austrian theatrical troupe, a lot 0:24:30.840 --> 0:24:33.280 of cooks in dust kitchen, which may explain why the 0:24:33.320 --> 0:24:36.840 story of magic flute is charmingly bonkers. And speaking of Bonkers, 0:24:36.880 --> 0:24:48.680 can you believe that was the final game? Like all 0:24:48.760 --> 0:24:51.840 great ballets and symphonies, our show must at last come 0:24:51.880 --> 0:24:54.600 to an end, to a standing ovation. Oh thank you, everybody. 0:24:54.600 --> 0:24:56.000 Sit down. Sit Down, you don't need to do well, 0:24:56.080 --> 0:24:58.119 maybe a little bit. Okay, let's find sit down. But first, 0:24:58.160 --> 0:25:01.119 while producer Jane Tally's our all scores, I'd love to 0:25:01.119 --> 0:25:04.520 hear from our contestants. Uh Owen Grayson, is there something 0:25:04.600 --> 0:25:07.280 that you found out about Maria Tal chief or Mozart 0:25:07.280 --> 0:25:10.000 that really surprised you? Um, something that stuck out to 0:25:10.040 --> 0:25:14.640
