Vivace / 2. Kammerkonzert

In the organizer's words:

Ludwig van Beethoven: Overture to "Egmont" op. 84 / Johann Joachim Quantz: Sonata for three flutes in D major / Paul Dukas: "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" / Enrique Crespo: Bruckner etude / Grażyna Bacewicz: Suite for two violins / Gustav Holst: "Jupiter" from "The Planets" op. 32

Music with wind instruments can be heard in the 4th chamber concert. In 1810, Beethoven composed the music to Goethe's tragedy "Egmont" at the request of the director of the Vienna Court Theater. The composition depicts various stages in the life of Count Lamoraal van Egmont. The version for brass ensemble retains the original symphonic character of the composition.

Goethe also created the model here: Paul Dukas' orchestral work "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", based on the ballad of the same name, is a piece full of clarity and imagination in the brass version.

Anton Bruckner himself did not compose a piece for low brass, so trombonist Enrique Crespo took up the pen. His etude in the style of Bruckner allows the solemnity of his role model to shine through.

Woodwind instruments are also heard in the chamber concert: the sonata for three flutes in D major by Joachim Quantz resonates harmoniously with a fine sound.

The Suite for two violins by Grażyna Bacewicz from 1943 demonstrates the Polish composer's ability to combine technical virtuosity and emotional depth.

The orchestral suite "The Planets", composed by Gustav Holst between 1914 and 1918, is considered late Romantic program music that inspires today's film music - melodies that sweep you away and remain in your memory.
