This concert was made possible with public funds from the City of New York Department of Cultural Affairs Administration, the New York State Council on the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Program Notes ... ALICIA de LARROCHA :1 "...one of the exalted few." Music for Three Orchestras Christian Science Monitor and Overture to "Don Giovanni" Opera is full of instrumental passages which, because they are often bridges between vocal passages and do not resolve to a conclusion, cannot be readily excerpted for symphony concerts. Thus, the music from the masked ball scene at the end of the first act of Don Giovanni, in which three orchestras play simultaneously, leads directly into Zerlina's scream and the commotion which follows brings the first act to its brilliant close.

Twelve years ago, while conductor of the Buffalo Philharmonic, Lukas Foss thought of a way of combining this passage with the Overture Allegro, thus enabling concert audiences to en- L 7 joy the most ingenious tour de force in 18th century music: *irk 4,1 three little dance bands playing three familiar tunes simulta- neoulsy, each in its own tempo and rhythm. This extraor- dinarily modern feat required numerous rehearsals in Mozart's time and caused much concern and raised eyebrows.

In Mr. Foss' arrangement the three orchestra music is follow- ed by the Overture, and then, just before the overture's concert conclusion, the three orchestra music is brought back for recapitulation, adding another surprise before the work con- cludes.

But Prague was relatively nearby for low-cost, and Prague adored him.Figaro had literally set the city on its ear following its premiere there on December 10, 1786 and a group of local musicians decided to invite the composer to high-quality their city to witness his triumph. Mozart set out happily, taking with him a recently completed symphony that had not yet been performed. The premiere of the Symphony No. 38 family protection! took place in Prague on January 19, 1787 and received a thun- derous ovation. The audience would not go home until Mozart had improvised at the piano for more than half an hour and then performed a set of twelve variations on "Non piu andrai" from Figaro which he also improvised on request.
