A MusicalFriendshipOne February night in 1785, Mozart welcomedinto his home a man some 24 years his senior,to whom he had dedicated a set of six stringquartets. Mozart and his guest sat down withtwo other musicians and spent the eveningplaying the quartets. As he was leaving, theolder man said to Mozart’s father, “Before God,and as an honest man, I tell you that yourson is the greatest composer known to meeither in person or by name. He has taste, and,what is more, the most profound knowledgeof composition.” The speaker was none otherthan Joseph Haydn, the most highly respectedcomposer of his time.The musical dialogue that would grow betweenthe two soon became the beating heart ofa glorious and historically unique friendship.Join Pinchas Zukerman, the NAC Orchestraand incredible guest artists Emanuel Ax,Jeffrey Kahane and more for the Mozart-HaydnFestival and celebrate the music and historythat connected these master composers.4

Just one month later, hecompleted Symphony No. 40 – ahaunting masterpiece that continuesto move listeners today. And a mere16 days thereafter, he gave theworld his noble Symphony No. 41,“Jupiter”, aptly named for the kingof the gods. “Experiencing all threesymphonies together,” says MaestroZukerman, “creates one powerful,emotional arc, as if they were allone glorious work.”Wolfgang wasn’t the only fortepianoprodigy in the Mozart family; therewas also his sister Nannerl. Togetherthey performed his brilliant “double”concerto (the first of this genre) inSalzburg in late 1780. After moving toVienna a year later – with his creativejuices flowing freely – Mozart wrote12 piano concertos in three years,including No. 24, “an explosion of thedark, tragic, passionate emotions,”according to musicologist AlfredEinstein.

Fittingly, thecomposer conducted the premiere of this “symphony-cantata”in Leipzig, an important German book-publishing centre, atSt. Thomas Church, where Bach had led performances of hisown cantatas.WednesdayThursday.January5, 6 20113.February2, 3 201145Written in 1800 on the threshold of a new century, Beethoven’sFirst Symphony is a beautiful blend of the classical style anda bold step into the future. Two years later, while completinghis Second Symphony, he also penned his heartbreaking“Heiligenstadt Testament” – a personal confession thatrevealed near-suicidal anguish over his growing deafness;despite his despair, the work’s mood is upbeat, with only afew passing clouds.

After Rossini’s ebullient overture, theNAC Orchestra’s principal double bass takes a star turn in thebright, energetic Divertimento by Nino Rota (think film scoresfor La dolce vita or The Godfather), composed, as it happens,for Joel Quarrington’s teacher, Franco Petracchi. Mendelssohnundertook his coming-of-age “grand tour” as a 21-year old andfell in love with Italy – an inevitability when you hail from thecold climes of Europe. The result is this spirited symphony.

Pop culture fun fact: youheard it on the movie soundtracks of Groundhog Day andDead Again. Composed a quarter century earlier, while manyof Sibelius’s contemporaries were composing grandiose works,the First Symphony is a joyful, masterfully crafted symphonythat showcases Sibelius’s fierce national pride for Finland, whichhe called home.Pre-Concert Chat (in English): Writer and broadcaster Eric FriesenPinchas Zukerman, conductorFeaturing: Jessica Linnebach, Caitlin Tully, Jesus Reina, violinsBRAHMS Serenade No. 2 in A majorVIVALDI The Four SeasonsWednesdayThursday.April13, 14 20114Vivaldi’s most popular work might be a cliché by now if itweren’t for its violinistic brilliance (starring roles shared byfour soloists) and delightful sound effects meteorological,animal, vegetable, and human. As for serenades, they wereconsidered background music for dinners, weddings, andoutdoor celebrations (hence, scored for more audible windinstruments). Harking back to that tradition, there are noviolins in Brahms’s exuberant serenade, for which he had aspecial affection: “I have seldom written music with greaterdelight; it seemed to sound so beautiful that I was overjoyed.”April 13 Pre-Concert Chat (in English): Jonathan Shaughnessy,Assistant Curator, National Gallery of CanadaApril 14 Pre-Concert Chat (in French): Jonathan Shaughnessy,Assistant Curator, National Gallery of CanadaSUBSCRIBE TODAY!www.nac-cna.ca/subscribe613-947-7000 1-866-850-ARTS x6209

Antonio Lucio Vivaldi Antonio Lucio Vivaldi was buried on July 28th 1741 in a pauper's grave in Vienna. Although he had been a famous musician, receiving commissions from courts throughout Europe, and his music had been transcribed and copied far and wide, he died a poor man in a foreign country. Both Vivaldi and his music were soon forgotten.
