After tasting operatic success on his three Italian journeys of 1. Lucio Silla in Milan, Mozart felt increasingly stifled by what he regarded as the pettiness and provincialism of Salzburg. As he wrote to a family friend a few years later Salzburg is no place for my talent. In the first place the court musicians do not enjoy a good reputation secondly one hears nothing theres no theatre, no operaand even if they wanted to stage one, who is there to sing Barely had Wolfgang and his father Leopold arrived back in his home town in March 1. In July father and son duly travelled to Vienna in the hope of securing a permanent post at the imperial court. Ten weeks later they would return to Salzburg empty handed. Crucially, Leopold had reckoned without Empress Maria Theresas long standing antipathy to what she saw as the vulgar Mozart travelling family circus.

Antheil the futurist Wergo The original American in Paris, George Antheil titled his bestselling memoirs Bad Boy of Music and tried hard to. Notturno in C major by Mozarts Salzburg friend and colleague Michael Haydn, younger brother of Joseph. Throughout his life Mozart loved the dusky sonority of the viola, always his instrument of choice when he played chamber music with friends. Beyond that, prompted by Michael Haydns charming, lightweight Notturno, he was evidently eager to explore a medium that enabled him to indulge his fondness for dark, saturated textures and rich inner part writing. Compared with the near contemporary quartets, K1. String Quintet in B flat major K1. It is also more spaciously conceived than the quartets. As Charles Rosen puts it in a superb chapter on Mozarts string quintets in The Classical Style Faber, 1. The classical feeling for balance demanded that the fuller and richer sonority of the quintet be given a larger framework than was fitting for the string quartet. In the opening Allegro moderato the tempo designation alone implies breadth Mozart immediately takes advantage of his enhanced resources, presenting the long breathed opening theme on first violin, supported by a nagging, accented figure from second violin and second viola in octaves, and then repeating it on first viola. Throughout the movement he contrasts solo passages, sonorous quasi orchestral writing and especially in the dramatic sequences of the development more closely woven imitative textures. In the Adagio, the key of E flatin which strings sound at their most mellowand mutes for all five instruments impart a soft sheen to the sonority. This is one of the loveliest slow movements from Mozarts teens, growing from a unison arpeggio figure that then becomes an accompaniment to the eloquent theme begun by the first violin and continued by the second. Just before the themes return, the idyllic mood is disrupted by a passage of startling emotional power as first viola traces a contorted chromatic line beneath grinding suspensions from the violins. The lusty minuet makes wittyand distinctly Haydnesquesport with a little four note figure, while in the trio second violin and viola softly echo phrases proposed by the first pair, a charming exploitation of the new medium. Mozart drastically revised the finale when he returned to the quintet at the end of 1. The upshot is a movement of exhilarating verve and inventiveness, with the instruments now chattering in pairs, now combining in that free, informal counterpoint that Mozart had doubtless admired in Haydn finales like those of the quartets Op 1. No 6 and Op 2. 0 No 4. Not until the spring of 1. Haydn Quartets and the lone Hoffmeister Quartet, K4. Mozart return to the string quintet with a contrasted pair of works, K5. Although he had recently triumphed with Figaro in Prague, prompting the commission for Don Giovanni, this was a troubled period for the composer. His glory days as virtuoso impresario were over. His father was now gravely ill, and his best and dearest friend Count August von Hatzfeld, a fine amateur violinist, had recently died at the age of thirty one. In April Mozart and his wife were obliged to leave their lavish apartment in the Domgasse for a cheaper one in the Viennese suburbs, a move acerbically noted by Leopold in a letter to his daughter Nannerlhis last recorded words about his son. Mozarts chief sources of income were now his modest salary as court Kammermusicus and the fees he earned from pupils and from the sale of manuscript copies and publication rights of his works, mainly chamber music. Purchasers of manuscript copies traditionally enjoyed privileged use of a work or set of works for a fixed period before publication. But with Mozart already being branded a difficult composer in some quarters, he found few takers for the string quintets K5. K4. 06, of the C minor Wind Serenade eighteenth century chamber works were usually sold in sets of three or six. After advertising the three string quintets in manuscript copies finely and correctly written, for the sum of four ducats, in the Wiener Zeitung of 2 April 1.

Mozart eventually sold the three works to the firm of Artaria, who issued K5. K5. 16 in 1. 79. 0 and K4. Completed on 1. 9 April 1. String Quintet in C major K5. Mozarts chamber works. Its breadth and grandeur of conception, prompted by the richness of the quintet sonority, makes it a counterpart to two Olympian orchestral masterpieces in the same key, the Piano Concerto K5. Jupiter Symphony. Rosen has rightly called the first movement the largest sonata allegro before Beethoven. Indeed, it prefigures Beethovens F major Razumovksy Quartet, Op 5. No 1, in its evocation of vast, calm vistas, created by a succession of expansive themes against for a classical work unusually slow changing harmonies. From the celloviolin dialogues of the opening theme, with the parts reversed when the theme is repeated in C minor, through the gorgeous chromatic deflections, to the expositions oscillating closing theme over a cello pedal shades here of the Figaro overture shorn of its nervous energy, everything unfolds with Apollonian majesty. Exploiting the mediums potential for rich polyphony, Mozart builds the development to a magnificent climax in an intricate double canon on the Figaro theme, with first violin imitated by cello, second violin by first viola. There is further polyphonic elaboration in the coda, whose serene spaciousness is in keeping with the proportions of the whole movement. Whereas the first movement employs the five instruments in myriad permutations, the Andantein sonata form without developmentis in essence a love duet for first violin and viola, with increasingly florid arabesques that culminate in a rapturous quasi cadenza. The mood is one of unsullied Arcadian bliss, like one of Mozarts Salzburg serenades deepened and transfigured. In contrast with the surrounding movements, the minuet placed before the Andante in some editions, as here is a curiously evasive, unsettled piece, beginning tentatively with a ten bar phrase four bars plus six which Mozart proceeds to develop in ever changing textures. The trio, appreciably longer than the minuet, is just as extraordinary its first fourteen bars sound like a gigantic, speculative upbeat to the Lndler tune played by the violins in octaves over an accompaniment suggestive of a village band. The catchy contredanse melody that launches the finale has a similar popular flavour.
