Keyboard Conversations:
Music of Mozart & the Bach Sons

Featuring fortepianist Sylvia Berry, this program explores Mozart’s orchestral music in arrangements sanctioned by himself or fashioned by his student Hummel. On this intimate scale, the works’ conversational, sociable nature is especially apparent.

We pair a Mozart overture & concerto with an overture by Johann Christian Bach and one of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach’s last compositions, a quartet with a similarly conversational idiom that suggests his awareness of musical developments in Vienna.
