Mozart the Giant - ChamberFest Cleveland

Description

Diminutive Wolfgang (5’4”) was a giant whose influence continues to be felt more than two centuries after his death. His own influences included Papa Haydn, who once performed the viola part in a reading of this gorgeous quintet. Beethoven’s quintet was inspired by a Mozart work from a decade earlier for the same group of instruments. “I prefer Mozart to all other composers,” said Poulenc, whose trio combines Mozartean themes with his own deft style, which ranged from the lighthearted to the profound.
