The maxim 'Mozart pur' of the artistic director of the Mozartwoche, Rollando Villazon, also applies to the program sequence of this concert. At the beginning is Mozart's cassation KV 63 "Final Musik". The musical genre of cassation is most closely related to the serenade or divertimento. At the end of the 18th century, cassations consisted of loosely arranged movements, mostly intended for outdoor performances. Mozart composed the contrasting 7 small movements in 1769. Light music in the best sense! The composer created the 25th Symphony in G minor, KV 183 4 years later in his hometown. At this time, the archbishop's concertmaster wrote his first symphonic work in a minor key here. The emerging Sturm-und-Drang period is audible in the music through the use of exciting stylistic devices. For example, Mozart uses numerous syncopations, dissonances, tremolo and unison passages that invariably promote more pronounced dynamics and rhythms. In any case, the grandiose effect of this four-movement work is undisputed.
