Saariaho, Mozart and Brahms
​An enjoyable concerto, a cool green symphony and a gift for a friend.

Most of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s piano concertos were written in the 1780s, and he had one of his most hectic and productive periods in the winter of 1785–1786: While completing the opera The Marriage of Figaro, he also completed three piano concertos, including no. 23 in A major.

Piano concertos were important tools for composers to establish themself in Vienna, and were also a significant source of income. In a letter to his father, Mozart described how he wrote the concertos so that anyone would be able to enjoy them.

Johannes Brahms wrote his second symphony during a stay in the Austrian resort of Pörtschach am Wörthersee. A friend who was playing through an early version of the symphony described it as full of "rippling streams, blue skies, sunshine and cool green shadows." The symphony was an instant success and has retained its popularity until today.

Kaija Saariaho has distinguished herself as one of today's foremost orchestral composers. She wrote this small piece as a gift for a friend, the conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen.
