THE ANVIL
Arriaga – Overture in F minor Op. 1 (1817)
Mozart – Clarinet concerto
M Haydn – Divertimento in G (1780)
Mozart – Eine kleine Nachtmusik
Katherine Spencer – clarinet
The Basque composer Arriaga was a child prodigy, dubbed 'the Spanish Mozart' at the time, who composed a number of accomplished quartets and symphonies before his untimely death at only 19 years old. This dramatic overture is the first piece he published.
The Clarinet Concerto was Mozart's last orchestral work, written for his friend, the great clarinettist, Anton Stadler. The slow movement is particularly serene and beautiful.
Michael Haydn was Josef's brother and a successful composer in his own right. This delightful divertimento is typical of his accomplished style.
One of Mozart's most popular and familiar works closes the concert, full of lively and charming music.
The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment is Anvil Arts Orchestra in Association.
