5 PIANO CONCERTO NO. 21 IN C MAJOR, K. 467 C SYMPHONY NO. 36 IN C MAJOR, K. 425, LINZ C The Linz symphony came out of a trip of the newly-wed Mozarts to Linz, Austria's third largest city, where they visited Count Thun- Hohenstein's place on October 31, Composed for a concert only four days later, Mozart had to "writ[e] a new [symphony] at break-neck speed", as his family letters recounted. Nothing in the music, despite the time limit, suggested the haste of its conception. Instead, this grandly inventive masterpiece witnessed the very first time that the composer began a symphony with a slow, Haydnesque introduction. Amongst the most technically demanding of all Mozart concertos, Piano Concerto No. 21 in C was composed only a month after his No. 20 in D minor. A sharp contrast with the emotional outbursts in his No. 20, the tranquil, elegant and cantabile Concerto No. 21 demonstrated Mozart's masterful command of the form. Best known of this work is its dreamlike, arioso Andante in F, although there's no single aria of Mozart's that encompasses such an extraordinary range of emotions or explores so fearlessly the expressive world that lies beyond words. SYMPHONY NO. 41 IN C MAJOR, K. 551, JUPITER C Scholars, critics and music lovers have searched in vain for the proper adjectives to describe the perfection of the Jupiter Symphony: grand, exuberant, the final, largest and most complex of Mozart symphonies, and a fitting capstone of the Classical era. All the above earned this symphony its nickname "Jupiter", the chief god of the ancient Greek pantheon. In its glorious finale, in particular, Mozart masterfully employed fugue-style Baroque counterpoint, paying tribute to Bach. Conductor Claudio Abbado praised it as "ideas superimposed, bursting out, one after the other, like fireworks". In the dual role as conductor and pianist, Mo. Xu leads the SZSO on this journey in the celebratory key of C major, taking us back to the "Golden Years" of Mozart the 1780s, most prolific decade in the giant's composing and performing career. The inventive Linz Symphony in C major is a Haydnesque gem composed in only four days. The best known of his 27 piano concertos, the No. 21 in C major earned the nickname of Elvira Madigan when its lyrical arioso Andante movement amazed the world as the theme song for the famous movie of the same name. Jupiter, God of all Roman God's, is a befitting name for this last statement in C major of stunningly grand scale and exuberant energy. 03
