Despite his tragically short life span of only 35 years, Mozart managed to create an astounding repertoire of over 600 musical works spanning various genres and forms.

His unparalleled talent allowed him to masterfully craft compositions that showcased the essence of the Classical period.

Alongside Haydn, he played a vital role in establishing and refining the Viennese Classical School, leaving a lasting legacy for generations to come.

Conducted by young talent Lin Musen, three women pianists in their prime will perform two Mozart concertos as well as a piece by Spanish composer Manuel de Falla October 20 night, accompanied by Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra.

The program will include “Piano Concerto No. 10 in E-flat Major for Two Pianos and Orchestra, K. 365,” Mozart’s only concerto for two pianos. The three-movement piece, lasting 25 minutes, is challenging for both soloists.

Passages intermingle, and the piece in general is a tour de force for performers and listeners alike. This lively piece, said to have been written for the composer himself and his sister Nannerl, overflows with the joy of a traveler returning to his homeland.

The “Piano Concerto No. 7 in F Major for Three Pianos and Orchestra, K. 242” is nicknamed “Lodron” because it was commissioned by Countess Antonia Lodron to be played with her two daughters Aloysia and Giuseppa.

First completing it in 1776, Mozart rearranged the piece for himself and another pianist for a 1780 performance in Salzburg.

While this piece is most often performed on two pianos today, October 20’s concert will offer a rare opportunity to hear it in its original form.

Falla’s “Nights in the Gardens of Spain” is a set of three nocturnes for piano and orchestra. Almost but not quite a piano concerto, it treats the keyboard instrument as a member of the orchestra rather than as a solo instrument.

Imbued with Spanish rhythms and effects, the piece also shows the influence of Falla’s friend Maurice Ravel. The audience can hear a strong influence from the folk music of the composer’s native Andalusia region in southernmost Spain, which is at a crossroads of many cultures and hence yields a rich and exotic musical style.
