Due to the renovation of the Frankfurt Concert Hall, we are moving part of our chamber music series to the event hall of the Frankfurt Kleist Museum this season. This is a fitting opportunity for this Sunday matinee, as this museum will be opening the exhibition "Kleist and Music" in the fall of 2025. With this matinee, we are providing a piece of accompanying music to this show and to Kleist's era. The poet Heinrich von Kleist not only played the clarinet himself, but with Johann Baptist Vanhal and Iwan Müller, we have two of his contemporaries in the program. In Müller, we also have a clarinetist and composer who, as an instrument maker, made significant contributions to the further development of the clarinet.

Kleist Museum

Musik aus Salzburg und Wien, dem Geburtsort und der Wahlheimat von Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Er selbst ist mit einer frühen Sinfonie, die er als 15-Jähriger komponierte, sowie einem seiner virtuosen Hornkonzerte aus den Wiener Jahren vertreten. Dass sein Vater Leopold nicht nur ein engagierter Prädagoge, sondern auch ein veritabler Komponist war, stellt sein Konzert für zwei Hörner und Streicher unter Beweis. Parallel zu den Mozarts lebte und arbeitete Johann Michael Haydn in Salzburg, der jüngere Bruder von Joseph Haydn. Als Kirchenmusiker gewann er Renommee, darüber hinaus aber auch als Komponist von Sinfonien und anderer Instrumentalmusik. Einer der Wegbereiter der klassischen Sinfonie wiederum ist Georg Christoph Wagenseil, der in der Kaiserstadt Wien um die Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts zu einem der führenden Musiker aufstieg und die nachfolgende Komponistengeneration maßgeblich inspirierte.
