Mozart’s Sonata K. 310 written in one go upon hearing the news of his mother’s death, Haydn’s Variations in F minor inspired by the myth of Orpheus, Schubert’s Musical Moment no. 1 magically immersed in a bucolic world to rediscover oneself in contact with nature. Closing with Beethoven’s Sonata op. 53 where a dawn of positivity and restorative energy slowly emerges from the deep night, inviting every man to a serene and festive sharing, thanks also to elements of popular taste, alternating with the harmonious and happy inspiration that only nature can sometimes give. Live themes in a fascinating, emotionally dynamic and engaging program.
