Mozart and Schubert
The Masterworks season opens with a fond return. As the seasonÕs Artist in Residence, former TSO concertmaster Steven Moeckel will perform MozartÕs Violin Concerto No. 5, and also curate the first TSO Up Close chamber series program (October 18 & 19). SchubertÕs youthful Symphony No. 1 and FarrencÕs delightful Overture No. 1 round out the program.Like Mozart, Schubert and Farrenc were also child prodigies. SchubertÕs first symphony was composed at the age of 16 yet still demonstrates beautiful symphonic form, inspired by HaydnÕs Symphony No. 104. 19th-century French composer Louise Farrenc was an accomplished concert pianist and her early piano works drew praise from none other than Robert Schumann. However, itÕs her orchestral works that now make the greatest impression. This overture, inspired by Viennese classicism, is full of dazzling drama.
