Carducci Quartet & Julian Bliss play Mozart, Weber, Dvorak
Part of the Concerts at Cratfield 2023 - Chamber Music in East Suffolk Season
Add to my Calendar 30-07-2023 15:00 30-07-2023 17:00 36 Carducci Quartet & Julian Bliss play Mozart, Weber, Dvorak The clarinet existed in many forms before Mozart gave it a prominent place on the concert platform. The Kegelstatt Trio (K.498) was followed by the Clarinet Quintet we are to hear today and the Clarinet Concerto (K.622). These works were all written for Mozart’s friend and fellow-Mason, the virtuoso clarinettist Anton Stadler. We owe Weber’s extensive writing for the clarinet to his meeting with the virtuoso clarinettist Heinrich Baermann. The two became close friends and toured together playing the compositions Weber had written for him: two concertos, a concertino, and the ‘Grand Quintet’ we hear today. Dvorak spent three years in America as director of the National Conservatory in New York City. In the summer of 1893 he spent the summer vacation in Spillville, Iowa, home to a Czech immigrant community, and it was there that he composed his sparkling Opus 96 string quartet.
