What to listen for
Listeners can expect Mozart's Horn Concerto No. 2 in E flat major, K.417, a compact three-movement work that puts the horn's warm, singing tone front and center. The opening movement has a bright, march-like energy, the slow middle movement lets the horn stretch out in long, lyrical lines, and the final rondo is built on a bouncing, hunting-call rhythm that the horn tosses back and forth with the orchestra. The rest of the program frames this: a Beethoven string quartet and Richter's slow-moving, atmospheric "On the Nature of Daylight" offer contrast in scale and mood, while Mozart's Symphony No. 29 closes the evening with lean, energetic writing for full orchestra.
