Program Seven • Beauty, Charity, and Reason

Fisher Center at Bard

It is no understatement to say that Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto is one of those pieces that changed the history of music. 21st Century audiences are so familiar with the sound of the clarinet – it is inextricably linked with smooth romantic melodies or the iconic opening of Rhapsody in Blue – but when Mozart unveiled the piece its sound would have shocked audiences. This performance aims to recapture that sense of wonder and delight.

The Basque composer Arriaga was a child prodigy, dubbed 'the Spanish Mozart' at the time, who composed a number of accomplished quartets and symphonies before his untimely death at only 19 years old. This dramatic overture is the first piece he published.

Prussia's Court Music, the chamber orchestra series of the Staatskapelle Berlin, has been in existence for over two decades. It focuses on music from the 17th and 18th centuries, not least composers and works that are particularly connected to the history of the Staatsoper and the Staatskapelle. This season's concerts will focus – in addition to the new production of The Abduction from the Seraglio – on the music of early and middle Mozart, who, both in his hometown of Salzburg and on his travels through Europe, keenly embraced the musical traditions of his time and used them productively in his own work. In addition, the renowned Italian gambist and ensemble leader Vittorio Ghielmi will be a guest at Prussia's Court Music for a weekend, with a program featuring music by the Italian Baroque composer Agostino Steffani.

In this concert, we invite you to explore both sides of Mozart’s mercurial nature, and to marvel that a device designed to frighten wolves creates such mellifluous and glowing music.

Mozart loved the horn, and the finest player of the day, Joseph Leutgeb, was an old friend of the family. Mozart wrote what would become one of the most enduringly popular horn concertos of all time for his friend. Characterised as a “little love duet” between horn and violin, this work is a joyous expression of their friendship.

Vienna served as the epicenter of much of Europe’s musical output for centuries, with composers like Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven comprising the notable members of the “First” Viennese school, and the “Second” including the likes of Schoenberg, Berg, and Webern. This program showcases the incredible growth of Vienna’s musical identity throughout the years with works by Michael Haydn (brother of Joseph), Schoenberg, and Mozart.
