Il primo concerto del Ciclo Mozart alla Sala bianca di Palazzo Pitti presenta i primi lavori di Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart...

italiano

The first concert of the Mozart Cycle in the White Room of Palazzo Pitti presents the first works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: it begins with Symphony No. 1 in E flat major K 16, composed at the age of eight in London during the Mozart family's Grand Tour in 1764 and in which we glimpse the originality of the composer and the influences of great authors in vogue in London in those years such as Johann Christian Bach and Karl Friedrich Abel. The program continues with Gallimathias musicum , a quodlibet composed on the occasion of the European tour of 1766. The Fugue in C minor K 546, originally composed for two pianos (K 426) and later transcribed for strings, with the addition of an Adagio introductory in 1788, recalls the Viennese period in which the young Mozart became enthusiastic about Bach's fugues, which he studied passionately. The program continues with the overture from  The Shepherd King , an operetta composed for the stay of Archduke Maximilian of Habsburg-Lorraine in Salzburg, and ends with Symphony no. 15 in G major K 124, composed in Salzburg during the first weeks of 1772, with a playful and frivolous temperament due to the innovative rapid variations in tempo.
