Dear Mozart

Taipei Chamber Orchestra is giving a concert this Friday evening. I am also playing in the orchestra. We are lucky enough to be joined by a very good French violinist named David Grimal. The choice of music is quite a cross section of Mozart's chamber music. The Divertimento in F for strings is first, followed by the violin concerto in G, and concluding the night is the Sinfonia Concertante in E flat for violin and viola.

All three works represent a fully devoloped composer but give completely different pictures of his creative mastery. I am quite simply very satisfied playing an all Mozart program. Much more happy doing so than I ever thouht possible. Perhaps because I don't play melody save a few bars here and there scattered about each score. Well, if you want some good listening then look these works up.
