WinterMezzo 2009-2010Auspicious Beginnings, Triumphant Endings

Welcome to Festival Mozaic’s WinterMezzo Series, two weekends of engaging musical experiences centered on great works of chamber music, featuring our Festival’s nationally-renowned guest artists. To begin the celebrations of our 40th year, WinterMezzo activities focus on ‘firsts and lasts’–first works of major composers and final works that assured their places in musical history.

Each WinterMezzo weekend focuses on three works and offers you three different ways to experience them:

• Listen to musicians’ perspectives in a one-hour Notable Encounter INSIGHTS, where the performers explore topics pertaining to the featured works.

• Enjoy an evening of food, wine and music at a Notable Encounter DINNER to get the performers’ perspectives on the weekend’s program, plus listen to program highlights.

• Hear it all come together at the Sunday CONCERT, where the full works are performed.

W.A. Mozart – Piano and Violin Sonata in C, K. 6, op. 1Ludwig van Beethoven - Piano Trio in E-flat, op. 1/1 Ernst von Dohnányi - Piano Quintet in c, op. 1

Each work is an Opus One or first work of these composers, foreshadowing great genius to come. Mozart’s delightful Violin Sonata, composed when he was eight, is paired with Beethoven’s first attempt at chamber music, 30 years later. Hungarian composer Dohnányi wrote this lushly romantic quintet at the age of 18 and the influence of Brahms on the young composer is immediately apparent.

Scott Yoo, violin; Jason Uyeyama, violin; Edwin Kaplan, viola; Andrew Smith, cello; Noam Elkies, piano

Friday, November 6, 2009, 5:30-6:30 PMNotable Encounter INSIGHTS: Fingerprints of Genius Grace Church, San Luis Obispo A one–hour presentation with the musicians’ commentary exploring how the first two chamber music works of Beethoven and Mozart signaled great things to come.

Anton Bruckner - Adagio from the String Quintet in F, WAB 112 John Harbison - Snow Country for Oboe and String Quartet (1979)Franz Schubert – String Quintet in C, D. 956

American composer John Harbison wrote the spare, beautiful Snow Country during an unusually dark Wisconsin winter. The work’s starkly tonal landscape recalls the sense of finality of a never-ending winter. Symphonic in scale and intimate in character, the Adagio from Bruckner’s first and only chamber work expresses an almost unbearable bliss. One critic wrote, “If the only thing Bruckner had ever written had been this magnificent slow movement, his reputation would have been secured for all eternity.” The composer Benjamin Britten once said that “the richest 18 months in music history” were “the period in which Franz Schubert wrote...the C Major String Quintet.” This pinnacle in the chamber music repertoire is a tantalizing monument to what might have been had Schubert’s life not been so tragically short.
