Écharpe Hermès hommage à Mozart rare recherché après coloris insolite soldes

In emerald green, blue and gold, this is a popular, extraordinary, and very beautiful scarf, in an unusual colourway. Hermes scarves dont really get any better. So many beautiful paintings in one scarf! This scarf is an absolute Hermes great!

Limited edition and therefore rare, whatever the colour, Hommage a Mozart was designed by Julia Abadie in 1991 for the commemoration of the bi-centenary of the death of Mozart.

Its so detailed that you can actually play the music from the scores depicted - whether youre a single pianist or an entire orchestra! Almost every instrument is caressed in loving detail: violin, viola, cello, and double bass; ornate harp with each individual string painstakingly reproduced; brass instruments, wind instruments, drum and kettle drum...

The famous watercolour by Carmontelle, showing the seven-year-old Wolfgang seated at the harpsichord, his father Leopold standing behind him playing the violin, and his sister Nannerl in the background singing, is reproduced in careful detail. The portrait of the great composer himself is an unusual one. There is a striking composition of horn, cello, violin? oboe/clarinet? being played around a table. What a strange group of instruments! Perhaps an informal and experimental precursor to Mozarts Allegro For Clarinet, Basset Horn, Violin, Viola and Cello.

Tickets for forthcoming concerts are also included - almost certainly part of the great Emile Hermes own personal collection displayed amongst 1000s of other extraordinarily varied artefacts in the Hermes museum, above the firms headquarters in Paris.

Ms Abadies design was inspired by Mozarts life and musical works. It has never been reissued, and, as a consequence, has become rare and sought after by Hermès collectors.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, in full: Johann Chrysostom Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, baptised as Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart, was born January 27, 1756 in Salzburg, and died December 5, 1791, in Vienna. He became one of the most prolific and influential composers of the classic era. A child prodigy, his career started at the tender age of five and during his 35 years, he composed over 600 works.

Hommage a Mozart is a glorious scarf celebrating one of the most loved composers of all time.
