French Conversation (INTERMEDIATE - B1)
Detalles
LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE - B1 — 7am PT / 10am ET
🎻 Is French music truly too simplistic? 🎼🇫🇷 - A previously unknown Mozart manuscript has been discovered at the National Library of France! In February, a musicologist was sorting through papers when he stumbled upon a "new" score by the Austrian composer. During his stay in France in 1778, he is believed to have written seven short pieces for harp and flute, which were lost during the revolutionary events eleven years later. These pieces were performed for the first time yesterday, during the Fête de la Musique 2026, and will be broadcast on France Musique's "Relax!" program starting today.
#### Preparation:
- watch this week's episode about Mozart's stay in Paris in 1778: https://youtu.be/p0vxvyzsMnE (subtitles are available in French and English by clicking on the CC button on the YouTube control bar)
- prepare one or two questions
