About
Both Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Clarinet Concerto (1791) and Franz Schubert's Symphony No. 9 (1825) were late works in two careers, both cut tragically short. In this lecture, Saul Lilienstein will examine the lyrical spirit that these two young geniuses shared. The serene central movement of Mozart's concerto is one of his greatest "arias." In Schubert's final symphony the spirit of song continues to be heard--even including a quotation from Beethoven's "Ode to Joy"!
