About the Concert

Duration: approx. 1 hr 45 mins including intermission

With drums and piano - Bartók's First Piano Concerto can safely be described as a percussion concerto. Not only because he treats the piano almost like a percussion instrument, producing more rhythm than melody, but also because the timpani are equal partners to the piano. In contrast, Brahms' Third Symphony seems almost meditative, with many considering it his most emotionally mature work. This is also due to the third movement, which is one of the most famous slow symphonic movements and has often been used in film music. The concert opens with an opera in fast motion. In the overture to his "Freischütz," Weber tells almost the entire story of the opera, including village romance and the Wolf's Glen. The horns play a special role, symbolizing hunting, the forest, and German Romanticism. It is no coincidence that "Der Freischütz" is considered the first true German Romantic opera and deeply impressed and influenced Richard Wagner.
