A Classical Concert

St. John's Episcopal Church West Hartford

Immortalized in both book and film, Mozart and Salieri come to life once again on the concert stage – not in competition but in complement. The first half of the program highlights the cosmopolitan and refined Salieri, a composer whose fame and recognition have often been overshadowed by Mozart’s vivacious and prodigious talent. Finishing the evening is Mozart’s final prophetic accomplishment: a Requiem mass. Left unfinished upon his own untimely death, this mysterious work remains one of the most powerful and profound in the classical music canon.

La scuola de' gelosi

Highland Park Ebell Club

The musical relationship between Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Johann Nepomuk Hummel can be described as a kind of musical brotherhood, even though there was an age difference of around 22 years between the two. Mutual admiration and appreciation characterized the relationship, for Mozart recognized early on the extraordinary talent of the 8-year-old Hummel. Mozart became aware of his future pupil through his father, who was employed as conductor at the “Theater auf der Wieden” under Emanuel Schikaneder. Mozart took the boy into his Viennese apartment and taught him for two years. Afterwards, Hummel senior took the boy on extensive concert tours - exactly following Leopold Mozart's example. Hummel was celebrated especially in London and was looked after by Franz Joseph Haydn. Five years with numerous performances and lessons were to pass before Hummel settled back in Vienna. By this time, however, Mozart had already died. Hummel temporarily benefited from the knowledge of Johann Georg Albrechtsberger; He then perfected his craft under Mozart's antipode Antonio Salieri, the legendary grandmaster of late Baroque Italian opera. In the second half of his life, Salieri concentrated on teaching work in particular - his students included Ludwig van Beethoven, Carl Czerny and Franz Liszt. With his more than 40 operas, Salieri, who came from the province of Veneto, was one of the most successful composers of his generation. The dramma per musica "Armida", the tragédie lyrique "Les Danaïdes", the dramma giocoso "La scuola de' gelosi" and the commedia per musica "La fiera di Venezia" are still well known today. The latter in particular impresses with its charming Venetian local colour, which Salieri illustrates with extremely effective music on stage, as can be heard in the rousing overture. Even during his time in Vienna as imperial chamber composer and court conductor, he always remained connected to his Venetian homeland. In 1778/79, Salieri composed a symphony that his publisher gave the nickname "Veneziana" - named after the city in which some of the music was premiered. Salieri took some of the harmonies from his overtures to "La scuola de' gelosi" and "La partenza inaspettata". Both operas were written during the three years that Salieri spent in Rome, Venice and Milan. The complete reconstruction of this chamber symphony only took place in Vienna in the 1980s; because the parts were stored there in the archives of the Society of Friends of Music – on the original cover one could read: “Sinfonia n. XIX del Signor Antonio Salieri – Maestro di musica all'attual servizio de SM l'Augustissimo Imperatore – Eseguita in Venezia.”
