Program Notes WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART Born in Salzburg, January 27, 1756; died in Vienna, December 5, 1791 Friday Evening, July 13 SERENADE FOR THIRTEEN WIND INSTRUMENTS (K. 361) Mozart composed this Serenade at the end of 1780 or early in 1781 and it may have been performed that season by the Hofkapelle at Munich. The instruments called for are 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 basset-horns, 4 French horns, 2 bassoons and contra-bassoon (or double bass). Composing this Serenade while he was at work on his Idomeneo in Munich, Mozart had plainly learned a thing or two in Paris and Mannheim about wind players and was probably taking advantage of the excellent clari- nets in the Munich Opera Orchestra (clarinets were still rarely encountered at that time—Mozart was to avail himself of the instrument later in Vienna) The Serenade has seven movements of which a first minuet, a second adagio and theme with variations are omitted in this performance.

For an informative brochure, write: BERKSHIRE HILLS CONFERENCE 100 North Street, Pittsfield, Mass. — 6 — Jean Frederic Schinck describing a Stadler Concert in Vienna in 1784 wrote: "I have heard a piece for wind instruments in four movements by Herr Mozart today. Magnificent ! It consisted of thirteen instruments, includ- ing two clarinets, two basset-horns, a bass, and at each desk sat a master. What power! What grandeur, nobility, magnificence!" This writer describing a revised version made in Vienna was quicker than most of his contemporaries to single out the dominance of clarinet color in the four instruments which included two basset-horns. Mozart provides a reedy foil with the two oboes, for the dulcet clarinet tone is undisputed by the limpid clarity of flutes, which, if used, would result in a "mixture" in the high register unsuited to the master's immediate purposes. The addition of four horns, two bassoons and a contra-bassoon (the original score indicated a double bass, perhaps because of the unavailability of the other instrument at the time) made what was then called a "Harmoniemusik," useful at parties and in vogue for out-door purposes. The incomplete description by Schinck fails to clarify a problem of early versions of this work. Otto Jahn describes a string quintet (which came into the possession of the Gesellschajt der Musikfreunde in Vienna) for two violins, two violas and cello which contains four of the seven movements (the ones played at the present per- formance) the manuscript evidently written in a childish hand and inscribed These 9CF pianists Evelyn Crochet featured this season at Leon Fleisher Claude Frank the Berkshire Festival Gary Graffman play only Eugene Istomin Byron Janis THE STEIWAY Rudolf Serkin Vronsky and Babin IN MASSACHUSETTS AND NEW HAMPSHIRE NEW STEINWAY PIANOS ARE SOLD ONLY BY M. STEINERT & SONS 162 BOYLSTON ST. BOSTON • WORCESTER, SPRINGFIELD — 7 — in a still different hand as of January 25, 1768. Otto Jahn has assumed that this string version was therefore an early study for the wind piece by the composer at the age of twelve. Alfred Einstein in his edition of the Koechel Catalogue was certain that the boyish handwriting "had nothing to do with Mozart," but he did admit this to be "one of the great mysteries of Mozart investigation." Georges de Saint-Foix, a close scholar of Mozartean authenticity, goes further and indignantly refutes Jahn's theory: "Mozart in 1768 would have been absolutely incapable of composing or even of conceiving at that time any one of the movements of this Serenade, which is one of the most splendid which he has written, but it is quite probable that he would have wished to make known to the Viennese under more accessible form the outstanding masterpiece which we believe he had composed in Munich during or just after Idomeneo ... it was much later, perhaps about 1787-88 that he enlarged the work adding a Romanze followed by one of the most beautiful of his variations as well as a minuet. It is then quite believable that he was limited in Vienna to a transcription of the Serenade to a version for string quintet as he had been in exactly the same way on another occasion with the Serenade for Winds in C minor [K. 388] in the summer of 1782." Saint- Foix is second to none in his admiration for the Serenade in B-flat: "This work, as surprising in ensemble as in detail, is the certain result of conquests ***• AVAVOC## •*** A COUNTRY INN LENOX, MASSACHUSETTS Just across the Road-AVALOCH offers two fine restaurants of different and exciting character .

It shows a grandeur and power comparable to the inspiration of the Kyrie in D minor" [K. 341]. PIANO CONCERTO NO. 25, IN C MAJOR, K. 503 This was the last concerto of the great succession of fifteen composed for public performance in Vienna. It was composed in December, 1786. The two which followed, after a space of two and four years respectively, were for other uses.* The last of the C major concertos is a splendid close to the Vienna series. It is also the complete antithesis of its predecessor, the C minor Concerto. It is expansive, unruffled in its sunny key. Dr. Friedrich Blume, in his preface to the Eulenberg miniature score, relates it to Figaro, which it followed, "both in conception and time of origin." There is an occasional chance echo, such as the theme introduced in the fiftieth bar where the gaiety of the second act finale bobs up. It has the special elevation of mood of The Magic Flute, or indeed the "Jupiter" Symphony, where C major becomes for Mozart a realm of special, effulgent purity, not without nobility of sentiment. Indeed this concerto could as readily be called "Olympian" as the final * There is no record of a performance of the "Coronation" Concerto of 1788 in Vienna while he lived; the last one, in B-flat, was privately commissioned.

Oxford History of Western Music: Richard Taruskin See also from Grove Music Online Lorenzo da Ponte Le nozze di Figaro THE “DA PONTE” OPERAS Chapter: CHAPTER 9 Enlightenment and Reform Source: MUSIC IN THE SEVENTEENTH AND EIGHTEENTH CENTURIES Author(s): Richard Taruskin After Die Entführung , Mozart did not complete another opera for four years. Part of the reason for the gap had to do with his burgeoning career in Vienna as a freelancer, which meant giving lots of concerts, which (as we will see) meant writing a lot of piano concertos. But it was also due to Joseph II’s unexpected disbanding of the national singspiel company and its replacement by an Italian opera buffa troupe at court whose regular composers Giovanni Paisiello, Vincente Martìn y Soler, and Antonio Salieri—Italians all (Martìn being a naturalized Spaniard)—had a proprietary interest in freezing out a German rival, especially one as potentially formidable as Mozart. 1 / 4 2011.01.27. 15:29 The “Da Ponte” Operas : Music In The Seventeenth And Eighteenth Cent... http://www.oxfordwesternmusic.com/view/Volume2/actrade-9780195... fig. 9-7 Lorenzo da Ponte, engraving by Michele Pekenino after a painting by Nathaniel Rogers (Mozarteum, Salzburg). Mozart’s letters testify to his difficulty in gaining access to Lorenzo da Ponte (1749–1838, original name Emmanuele Conegliano), the newly appointed poet to the court theater. (There was a certain typically Joseph II symbolism in the fact that a specialist in opera buffa should have been chosen to replace the aged Metastasio, the paragon of the seria , who died in 1782 at the age of 84.) “These Italian gentlemen are very civil to your face,” Mozart complained to his father in 1783.

Nothing had been listed for the entire month of July, but it had been a busy time due to his constant work on his opera Don Giovanni. In his records, Mozart wrote about "Eine kleine NachtMusick (sic), consisting of an allegro, minuet and trio, romance, minuet and trio, and finale. Two violins, viola and basses." Even Mozart scholars have had to admit that this best-known of all Mozart's chamber pieces is also one of his most enigmatic.

When he was only three years old, he played the harpsichord and the violin. At the age of four he was making up his own music. He was so young that his father had to help him write it down. When he was six years old, Mozart and his older sister Nannerl were giving concerts to kings and queens and emperors. And Mozart wrote new music all the time, even when he was sitting in bumpy coaches travelling through Europe. He didn’t have a long life. But he wrote a lot of music and we hear it today in concerts and on recordings. He wrote symphonies for an orchestra to play. He wrote piano concertos for an orchestra and a solo piano, and he would play the piano part himself! And he wrote the music of many operas – these are like plays with singing – as well as hundreds of other pieces. People said that he composed and played music in the way that most of us breathe: it was completely natural for him. 3 8.578204 My first Mozart - booklet 12-9-11.indd 3 13/09/2011 09:44 For full track and performer details, see page 11.
