Wolfgang Amadeus (Amadé) Mozart (1756-1791) was and continues to be an icon that fascinates people all over the world. This mixed- media music video was created by LOLA MullenLowe, produced by Final Frontier and Proppa, and directed by Le Cube and Martin Werner, for Magnum in honoring the great Master with the first music video for one of his compositions – a remix of the first movement of his 25th Symphony. The premiere of the video ‘MOZART by MAGNUM’ took place on July 29th, 2022, at the composer's birthplace in Salzburg during a reception hosted by the International Mozarteum Foundation and Magnum.

Applying a mixture of live action scenes and 2D traditional cel-animation, the video provides an imaginary, fantastic insight into Mozart's creativity.

The remix for the first movement of Mozart's 25th Symphony (G minor, KV. 183), translates the dynamic and power of the music into images that captivate and draw the viewer directly into Mozart's creative process. With his first piece in a Minor key, Amadeus Mozart – only 17 years old in 1773 – broke all musical conventions and the expectations of his contemporaries and patrons who were used to the former child-star's light, gallant, works in a Major key. The Musical Genius now presented himself as a mature composer with a piece that was more assertive, expressive, and passionate than any of his previous works.
