I.
7 de Janeiro de 1770

[publicadono facebook em 07.01.2016]


No dia 7 de Janeiro de 1770, Wolfgang Mozart, ainda com 13 anos, e seu pai deram um concerto de órgão, na igreja de San Tomaso em Verona, cujo sucesso se pode aquilatar pelas palavras que Leopold Mozart remeteu a sua mulher numa carta para Salzburg.

Primeiramente, a transcrição em Alemão, porque tenho leitores que acedem sem necessidade de qualquer tradução. Para os outros, uma versão em língua inglesa.

II.
7 de Janeiro de 1779

Contudo, outra efeméride mozartiana, datada de Munique, aos 7 de Janeiro de 1779, lembra-nos que, nesse dia foram apresentadas cópias das Sonatas para Violino KV. 301, 302, 303, 304, 305 e 306, dedicadas à Princesa Maria Elisabeth da Baviera. Em sua comemoração, proponho-vos a audição da Sonata em Mi menor, KV. 304, na interpretação, em instrumentos da época, por Sigiswald Kuijken, violino e Luc Devos, no pianoforte.

Boa Audição!
