Description

A musical number code: 478 and 47 Behind these two catalogue numbers lies an unbroken line of passion and seriousness. In 1785 Mozart broke new ground with K. 478, the piano quartet in G minor. The work shook its contemporaries with an uncompromising and dark seriousness that refused to be pleasant background music for the nobility. He had invented a whole new genre. 57 years later, Schumann picked up the same formula in his Op. 47, the piano quartet in E-flat major. He took Mozart's innovation and filled the framework with an explosive, Romantic passion - written in a feverish rush of pure creative drive. When the musicians bring the numbers to life, time and space cease to exist, only the raw nerve of two numbers charged with seriousness and passion. The concert is organised in collaboration with Klassisk Flekkefjord. Programme: W.A. Mozart / Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor, K. 478 (1785) R. Schumann / Piano Quartet in E-flat major, Op. 47 (1842)
