Known to contemporary audiences through the movie Amadeus, Mozart’s Serenade for winds was taken from obscurity to immortality as Salieri is transfixed by his introduction to the composer’s music:

“On the page it looked nothing. The beginning simple, almost comic. Just a pulse, bassoons, and basset horns, like a rusty squeezebox. Then suddenly, high above it, an oboe, a single note, hanging there unwavering, till a clarinet took over and sweetened it into a phrase of such delight! This was no composition by a performing monkey! This was a music I’d never heard. Filled with such longing, such unfulfillable longing. It seemed to me that I was hearing the very voice of God.” — from Amadeus

Performed as part of the 2024 Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Opera and Humanities Festival.
This program’s Concert Preview lectures will be presented by Michael Strasser, Professor of Musicology, Baldwin Wallace University
