Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart lived and worked in the musical hub of Europe during his time, the great city of Vienna. The Sonata for Violin and Piano No. 22 in A Major, K. 305, by W.A. Mozart begins the program with its jaunty rhythms and cheerful melodies. Bohemian composer Leopold Jansa wrote numerous chamber music works after abandoning his study of the law in Vienna and became an established performer and teacher in that great cultural city. We will perform his Duo for Violin and Viola in G major Op. 70, No. 2. Fellow Bohemian composer Antonin Dvořák was devoted to his homeland during its transition after World War I into the Czech Republic. The program will conclude with his soulful Terzetto in C Major, Op. 74, for two violins and viola.
