An ideal opener for an evening of popular classical works. Mozarts Horn Concerto’s were written for his great friend the horn player Joseph Leutgeb. The 4th Concerto is terrifically good fun to listen to. Despite the Horn of the day being extremely difficult to master (no valves were available, so individual notes have to be made with the hand inside the bell of the instrument) Mozart decided that he would make it a little harder for his friend to play by writing the score in different coloured ink and adding jokes at the poor Leutgebs expense. The synopsis for Rosamunde, a tale of mistaken identity, kidnapping, pirates, poisoned letters, disguise, shipwrecks and a princess long assumed dead who is united with her Prince to whom she has been betrothed since infancy. Schubert was inspired to write some glorious music.   Haydn Drum Roll Symphony is so entitled as it opens with a long drum roll. From this unexpected effect, the music takes wings through the strings, bassoons gradually embracing the whole orchestra. Oddly there is no dynamic marking for the drum roll, it appears Haydn has left this to the conductor to decide whether to capture the audiences attention by mystery or force.

Programme Note

The Overture to Coriolan was composed in 1807 and calls for a small orchestra, calling for pairs of woodwind instruments, 2 horns, triumpets and timpani. An ideal opener for an evening of popular classical works.

Mozarts Horn Concerto’s were written for his great friend the horn player Joseph Leutgeb. The 4th Concerto is terrifically good fun to listen to. Despite the Horn of the day being extremely difficult to master (no valves were available, so individual notes have to be made with the hand inside the bell of the instrument) Mozart decided that he would make it a little harder for his friend to play by writing the score in different coloured ink and adding jokes at the poor Leutgebs expense.

The synopsis for Rosamunde, a tale of mistaken identity, kidnapping, pirates, poisoned letters, disguise, shipwrecks and a princess long assumed dead who is united with her Prince to whom she has been betrothed since infancy. Schubert was inspired to write some glorious music.

Haydn Drum Roll Symphony is so entitled as it opens with a long drum roll. From this unexpected effect, the music takes wings through the strings, bassoons gradually embracing the whole orchestra. Oddly there is no dynamic marking for the drum roll, it appears Haydn has left this to the conductor to decide whether to capture the audiences attention by mystery or force.
