Two intriguing compositions for a horn that rarely appears as a solo instrument and one of the most interesting symphonies of late Classicism will make up the fascinating programme of the NFM Wrocław Philharmonic concert.
Although we customarily number the Horn Concerto in D major KV 412 as the first, it is the last of the four concerti for this instrument written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It was created in 1791 and the composer dedicated it to Joseph Leutgeb, one of the most famous horn virtuosos active in the Classicist era. The work consists – quite unusually – of only two movements instead of three, it is cheerful, melodious and pleasant to listen to. Romance op. 36 by Camille Saint-Saëns is a piece intended for horn too, lyrical, but requiring the soloist’s ability to create the right mood.
The concert will end with the performance of Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 8 in F major, which is a light, graceful and cheerful work. According to the composer’s secretary, Anton Schindler, the characteristic staccato sixteenth notes in the second movement are a parody of the ticking of a metronome (a device used to give precise tempo) that the composer’s friend Johann Nepomuk Mälzel worked on. During one of the parties with their mutual friends, Beethoven and the rest of the guests were to improvise a short, witty canon in honour of the inventor; he later used it to write a new symphony. The piece is now known as Ta ta ta, lieber Mälzel. The problem, however, is that researchers have never confirmed this version of events, and the author of the canon and the whole story is probably Anton Schindler himself.
