Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Notes
In Vienna, one could expect to find the most discriminating and intelligent of audiences. Unfortunately for Mozart, they were also fickle audiences, sensitive for the most part to only the politically-influenced preferences of the court.

Notes
The patron who commissioned the Concerto for Flute and Harp never paid for the piece and may never have performed it, but the result was a charming and joyous work for what was, at the time, an unusual instrumentation. Throughout the course of the work, Mozart deftly handles the technical limitations presented him by an instrumental combination for which he had never written.

Notes
Mozart’s final three symphonies are unusual for their time. When we hear the word “symphony”, our mind leaps to the great music dramas of Beethoven, Brahms, and Mahler. But in the 18th century, a symphony was a much lighter entertainment, frequently performed with little to no rehearsal. These three symphonies, on the other hand, are the composer’s longest and feature a level of structural complexity and experimentation unusual in contemporary works.

The Redlands Symphony Orchestra’s all-Mozart concert Saturday night reminded me of how thankful I am to have music, and particularly Mozart’s music, in my life.
Loved every minute of the concert last night! The guest pianist was fabulous and it was a wonderful way to start the new season. Looking forward to the rest of the season.
