* 1785: First publication of Mozart's Ah!

Antonín Dvořák's String Quintet in G major, Op. 77 and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Serenade in G major, K. 525 (" Eine kleine Nachtmusik ") are the most popular pieces in this repertoire, along with works by Darius Milhaud, Luigi Boccherini ( 3 quintets ), Harold Shapero, and Paul Hindemith.

In 1768, when court intrigue prevented the performance of La Finta Semplice ( K. 51 ) for which a twelve-year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had composed 500 pages of music, Mesmer is said to have arranged a performance in his garden of Mozart's Bastien und Bastienne ( K. 50 ), a one-act opera, though Mozart's biographer Nissen has stated that there is no proof that this performance actually took place.

Others include Frédéric Chopin's Variations on " Là ci darem la mano " from Don Giovanni ( 1827 ); Max Reger's Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Mozart ( 1914 ), based on the variation theme in the piano sonata K. 331 ; Fernando Sor's Introduction and Variations on a Theme by Mozart ( 1821 ); and Mikhail Glinka's Variations on a Theme from Mozart's Opera Die Zauberflöte in E ♭ major ( 1822 ).

Mozart's participation increased with his contributions to the 1790 collaborative opera Der Stein der Weisen ( The Philosopher's Stone ), including the duet (" Nun liebes Weibchen ", K. 625 / 592a ) and perhaps other passages.

Nikolaus Simrock published this text in the first full-score edition ( Bonn, 1814 ), claiming that it was " in accordance with Mozart's own wishes " ( Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung, 13 September 1815 ).

Mozart's last overture, The Magic Flute ( 1791 ), seemed to point toward the 19th century Rossinian model, with its grand opening and slow, heavy introduction leading to a lighthearted main theme.

At ten years of age, Saint-Saëns gave his debut public recital at the Salle Pleyel, with a performance of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 15 in B-flat major ( K. 450 ), and various pieces by Handel, Kalkbrenner, Hummel, and Bach.

) In the realm of song, Claude Debussy set both Verlaine's " Pantomime " and Banville's " Pierrot " ( 1842 ) to music in 1881 ( not published until 1926 )— the only precedents among works by major composers being the " Pierrot " section of Telemann's Burlesque Overture ( 1717 – 22 ), Mozart's 1783 " Masquerade " ( in which Mozart himself took the role of Harlequin and his brother-in-law, Joseph Lange, that of Pierrot ), and the " Pierrot " section of Robert Schumann's Carnival ( 1835 ).

The other exceptions include a boy's choir " Christmas Medley " played while the characters drive through Los Angeles, the Molto allegro from Mozart's Jupiter Symphony ( heard as Annie and Alvy drive through the countryside ), Tommy Dorsey's performance of " Sleepy Lagoon ", and the muzak version of the Savoy Brown song " A Hard Way to Go ", playing over a party in the mansion of Paul Simon's character.

As indicated by Mozart's return letters ( which alone survive ), Leopold was strongly opposed to the Vienna move, wanting Wolfgang to return to Salzburg.

For example, Mozart's String Quintet in C, K. 515, visits C minor, D-flat major, and D major, before finally moving to the dominant major ( G major ), and many works by Schubert and later composers utilized even further harmonic convolutions.

Präparierter Text 1 is adapted from the second movement of Brahms ' Symphony No. 1, and is for violin and magnetic tape ; Präparierter Text 2 is adapted from the first movement of Mozart's Jupiter Symphony ( No. 41 ), and is for flute, trumpet, timpani, violin, cello and double bass ; Präparierter Text 3 is adapted from the fourth movement of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, and is for cymbal, bass drum and magnetic tape ; and Präparierter Text 4 is adapted from the Ricercar a 6 from Johann Sebastian Bach's Musical Offering and is for chamber orchestra ( a version for full orchestra followed in 1970 ).

She sang a total of three other roles at the Met: Ilia in Mozart's Idomeneo ( in its Metropolitan Opera premiere ), Tatiana in Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin, and Micaëla in Bizet's Carmen, the role of her final performance with the company on March 26, 1987.

* August – The annual Salzburg Festival takes place in Salzburg, Austria, featuring four opera productions from the Vienna State Opera: Mozart's Idomeneo and Die Zauberflöte, and Verdi's Otello, all conducted by Wilhelm Furtwängler, and Berg's Wozzeck, conducted by Karl Böhm, as well as seven orchestral concerts by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra ( two conducted by Wilhelm Furtwängler and one each by Edwin Fischer, Rafael Kubelík, Eugen Jochum, Karl Böhm, and Leopold Stokowski ), six choral concerts, four chamber-music concerts, three solo recitals, and a number of smaller events.

Further performances in New York included four appearances as Valentine ( a role she also performed on tour in Louisville, Albany, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, and Boston ), three as Donna Elvira in Mozart's Don Giovanni, three as Eva in Wagner's Die Meistersinger, one more as Gilda, one as Desdemona, one as Elsa, as well as a single appearance as Marguerite in Gounod's Faust.

In 1977 they planned to tour Australia and New Zealand with Kenneth Essex ( viola ), with whom they recorded Mozart's viola quintets.

There are examples of the revival of the harpsichord for this purpose as early as the 1890s ( e. g. by Hans Richter for a production of Mozart's Don Giovanni at the London Royal Opera House, the instrument being supplied by Arnold Dolmetsch ), but it was not until the 1950s that the 18th-century method was consistently observed once more.

In 2006, Salzburg celebrated the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth by staging all 22 of his operatic works ( including two unfinished operas ), to great acclaim.

Hildesheimer ( 1991, 215 ), noting that most of Mozart's serenades were written on commission, suggests that this serenade, too, was a commission, whose origin and first performance were not recorded.

During the Soused ( or Brown-Bag ) Period, P. D. Q. Bach wrote a Concerto for Horn & Hardart, a Sinfonia Concertante, a Pervertimento for Bicycle, Bagpipes, and Balloons, a Serenude, a Perückenstück ( literally German for " Hairpiece "), a Suite from The Civilian Barber ( spoofing Rossini's The Barber of Seville ), a Schleptet in E-flat major, the half-act opera The Stoned Guest ( the character of " The Stone Guest " from Mozart's Don Giovanni ), a Concerto for Piano vs. Orchestra, Erotica Variations ( Beethoven's Eroica Variations ), Hansel and Gretel and Ted and Alice, an opera in one unnatural act ( Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel and the 1969 film Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice ), The Art of the Ground Round ( Bach's The Art of Fugue ), a Concerto for Bassoon vs. Orchestra, and a Grand Serenade for an Awful Lot of Winds and Percussion.

An example of Alberti bass ( Mozart's Piano Sonata, K 545 ):

* Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 25

In some pieces by Haydn and Mozart, such as Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 16 in C, K. 545, the first subject group will be in the subdominant and then modulate back to tonic for the second subject group and coda.

His main performance success during this period was his playing of Mozart's D minor Piano Concerto at a concert celebrating the centenary of Mozart's birth, in January 1856.

Additional releases included a number of Beethoven symphonies recorded with the New York Philharmonic during the 1930s, a performance of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 27 on February 20, 1936, at which Rudolf Serkin made his New York debut, and one of the most celebrated underground Toscanini recordings of all, the legendary 1940 broadcast version of Beethoven's Missa Solemnis, which has better soloists ( Zinka Milanov, Jussi Bjoerling, both in their prime ) and a more powerful style than the 1953 RCA studio recording, although the microphone placement was kinder to the soloists in 1953.

Czerny made his first public performance in 1800 playing Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 24 in C minor.

64 / 1, Mozart's Piano Concerto K491 and Elgar's Cello Concerto.

Among the items are the printer's manuscript of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, complete with Beethoven's hand-written amendments, that was used for the first performance in Vienna in 1824 ; Mozart's autograph of the wind parts of the final scene of The Marriage of Figaro ; Beethoven's arrangement of his monumental Große Fuge for piano four hands ; Schumann's working draft of his Symphony No. 2 ; and manuscripts of Brahms's Symphony No. 2 and Piano Concerto No. 2.

At his burial ceremony, the second movement of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21 ( which Marceau long used as an accompaniment for an elegant mime routine ) was played, as was the sarabande of Bach's Cello Suite No. 5.

The boy made his public debut in 1801 playing Mozart's D minor Piano Concerto in Berlin.

Bach's Concerto for Two Harpsichords in C Minor, BWV 1060 ; Mozart's Piano Sonata in C Major, K. 545, and Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 in A major ( Opus 92 ) are all examples of absolute music.

Many of his works are fugues or in variation form, including what is probably his best known orchestral work, the Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Mozart based on the opening theme of Mozart's Piano Sonata in A major, K. 331.

Its influence can be found at the beginning of the 4th movement of Mozart's Symphony No. 40 as well as the very start of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 1 in F minor, Op.

The finale of the concerto, for example, is clearly modeled on the last movement of Beethoven's third piano concerto, while the concerto's key of D minor is the same as both Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and Mozart's dramatic Piano Concerto No. 20.

At the age of ten, Kissin made his debut performing Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor with the Ulyanovsk Symphony Orchestra.

In one view, the work is said to have been premiered by Mozart's student, Barbara Ployer, on June 13, 1784 at a concert to which Mozart had invited Giovanni Paisiello to hear both her and his new compositions, including also his recently-written Quintet in E flat for Piano and Winds.
