"For music is the true ambassador between people. It needs no common language."
I'm reading this book on Mozart right now; and everytime I read something interesting I write it down.
(...though sometimes I need more explaination to understand it..;-)

It refers to the fact that everyone understands music, in a way that not everyone intuitively understands French or Spanish. Music transcends language barriers, it leaps between people's hearts. You feel when you hear particular music, and this is a feeling that others no doubt share. These shared sentiments bridge the differences and gaps between people, regardless of their language and culture. Beautiful quote!

Music, and all art, is a universal language. Everyone can appreciate art because most art is abstract and personel, everyone gets something out of it, even if it is different. I can listen to a piece of Italian opera, not understand a word of it, and still appreciate it and pull some meaning from it. Mozart composed symphonies, so there is no verbal language used anyway, therefore anyone around the world can listen to it. By this sense, music has the power to unite people where words can't.

muisc is the langue of the soul, now while people across the world may speak a diffrent langue all souls are basically the same. Just as every crys when in pain, its a natural respones that the music makes us feel. So music like an ambassador can make us connect with someone from a diffrent culture that we may not be able to communicate with but we can connect over the pain the music is making us feel.

It means that two (or more) people, who do not speak the same language, can both understand and appreciate music,
thereby acting as a metaphorical 'ambassador' between them.

Hey there, actually it isn't so har to understand. What Mozart meant by that is, that since music is a global language, it doesn't need a global language to be understood by everyone, meaning by that, the emotion it wants to transmit.

It suggests that music can be cross cultural, like art, and does not need language to gain an understanding from it.

Music is the language of all of us: that it doesn't matter if you speak english, german, spanish, chinese etc, everyone can listen to and understand music and the feelings it evokes.

music as Mozart may refer to has no singing ... no words so it can be applied to any nationality of people as opposed to elivis presly only being understood by english speaking language nations

i intrepret it as meaning that music is a common ground for all people no matter what religion or race or heritage we pretty well all use musical caommunication.
