Mozart, in his own capacity, blessed the entire musical world with hundreds of pieces (around 600). Being a composer placed within the formal grounds of the Classical Era, his pieces hold an air of a once embraced society of the proper and the unproper. His music is cherished by the hearts of many (my own included) through his determination and creativity. "It is a mistake to think that the practice of my art has become easy to me--no one has given so much care to the study of composition as I have. There is scarcely a famous master in music whose works I have not frequently and diligently studied," were the words of this master. With such a numerous amount of pieces, some have over the years obscured other pieces of equal quality into the background (these string trios and duos are a wonderful example) This CD brings out the best qualities the string instruments have. It is truely remarkable how the clarity and the immense genious is revealed. In fact, alot of these string duos and trios were composed for the purpose of playing with some of his other composer friends (Vanhal, Dittersdorf, and Haydn). Mozart's favorite instrument was the viola and he deeply enjoyed the opportunity to perform with his friends. (You will find that in these pieces the viola is taken at times higher than the norm, undoubtedly to fulfill Mozart's desire for interest and originality) Overall, my fellow Mozart seekers, this is a CD you SHOULD NOT pass by. It will surely enhance your appreciation and knowledge of the Mozart experience.
