Mozart past and the present. In the dramaturgy of the second subscription A3 Beethoven. Martinů Mozart, whose works are considered pillars of classical music. So Tuesday, October 26, 2021, 7:30 pm concert, however, the combination of the old and the new is even Wednesday, 22 December 2021, 7:30 pm it is time to add the third pillar to our concert season, the music by Dvořák Hall, Rudolfinum more consistent. We will move to German-speaking countries that Dvořák Hall, Rudolfinum Ludwig van Beethoven. The concert program is designed with a have shaped the musical culture of Europe just like France. The view to Beethoven’s interest in political and social events. He wrote Harry Bicket — conductor focus of the program is the music by Bach and Mozart, composers Olli Mustonen — piano Symphony No. 3 in E flat major excited about the ideas of Napoleon whose opuses are considered pillars of classical music. We will Marcelo Lehninger — conductor Bonaparte. However, after this politician declared himself Emperor, JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH, arr. IGOR STRAVINSKY hear the geniuses of Bach and Mozart “in the original” in musical the indignant Beethoven withdrew his original dedication of the Four Preludes and Fugues genres quite characteristic of the time in which they lived. Bach’s LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN symphony to him. That is why it is known today under the title from The Well-Tempered Clavier Orchestral Suite No. 3 is generally known mainly for Air, its only Overture to Egmont Op. 84 “Eroica” and why the E flat major key is still considered the heroic JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH movement which is not a dance. Mozart’s jubilant Symphony BOHUSLAV MARTINŮ key. Equally interesting is the history of the Egmont overture. Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major BWV 1068 No. 34 in C major came into being at the end of one period of the Piano Concerto No. 3 H 316 Beethoven wrote it as part of the music for Goethe’s eponymous WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART, arr. HARRY BICKET composer’s life — it is the last symphony he wrote in Salzburg. LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN tragedy about a Dutch freedom fighter, and it is so powerful that Fantasia in F minor/major (after Fantasia in F minor KV 594) Other compositions in the program prove that the works of Bach Symphony No. 3 in E flat major Op. 55 “Eroica” it became an unofficial anthem during the bloody Hungarian WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART and Mozart have been and still are an inspiration for younger Revolution of 1956.

Today we are colleagues and we both Ten Miniatures for Wind Trio, Series 2 is the second attempt in teach composition at the Faculty of Music of the Academy of my oeuvre for a composition in the form of a television series.

The principle is that each miniature gradually develops into 32 Variations on the D Note for Violin, Clarinet and Cello (2016) a situation which gives rise to the next one.” Hanuš Bartoň, Michal Nejtek MICHAL NEJTEK (1977) I seem to like the D note, which forms the basis of two Hanuš Bartoň Fantasy for Violin and Piano (1995) compositions of mine.

It was like from another world, MICHAL NEJTEK a completely unexpected change in the style of interpretation Trois morceaux délicieux for Clarinet, Piano, and mood, just what I like in music. I recorded that fragment Violin and Cello (2016) of speech on my computer, and the track with the color of its sound in my computer became the basis for my long-planned composition for clarinet.

I have tried to write a quartet which for Solo Piccola (2021, Czech premiere) will incorporate Bartók’s characteristic compositional elements ĽUBOŠ BERNÁTH (1977) and idioms. At the same time, the main musical material is born Sonata fantastica for Violin, Clarinet, Cello logically and gradually from basic impulses, which in the end and Piano (2018) give the composition a real structure and shape. To put it simply, MATEJ SLOBODA the concept of fugue apparent in the fourth movement has been Bagatelles for String Quartet (2013) born out of individual partial cells of the first movement. This ĽUBOŠ BERNÁTH subsequently gives rise to tonality, while in the second and third String Quartet No. 2 “Structures and Impulses” (2015) movements there are elements having the character of MATEJ SLOBODA an archetypal dance.” Bizzarie di Varie Figure: Labyrinth of the World II for Piano, L’uboš Bernáth Double Bass and Viola (2021, Czech premiere)
