Viviana Performs Mozart
Music revised or reimagined for other occasions is a theme of this program. Though Wolfgang Mozart’s Flute Concerto in D Major began life as a work for oboe, Mozart rearranged it a year later, in a new key, for flute and orchestra to fulfill a commission. TPS principal flutist Viviana Cumplido-Wilson is soloist in the sparkling showpiece for flute, backed by witty and charming orchestral accompaniment. Composed to express some of the challenges facing society in the aftermath of World War II, Dmitri Shostakovich’s Chamber Symphony originally was a string quartet. Guest conductor Daniel Wiley leads an arrangement for orchestra created more than 40 years after its 1946 premiere. In 1817, Italian music was all the rage in Vienna. Channeling the effervescent spirit of opera composer Gioachino Rossini, who debuted “The Barber of Seville” one year earlier, Franz Schubert rose to the occasion to compose his Overture in the Italian Style in C Major.
