SYLVESTRIS QUARTET (Anna Washburn, Tyler Lewis, Aaron Westman and Gretchen Claassen), the Bay Area's new historically informed string quartet, plays quartets written for King Friedrich Wilhelm II of Prussia, the cello-playing patron of the 1780s. Mozart's very last quartet, K.590 was initially inspired by the King, who later lost interest in the works and failed to make good on his commission. Mozart was "forced to give away [;his]; quartets for a ridiculous sum of money" to a publisher. Nonetheless, these "Prussian" quartets, along with the contemporary and legendary Requiem inspired Haydn to call Mozart "immortal." Hear Mozart's last quartet on gut strings, as lively as the day it was premiered in Mozart's living room in Vienna in 1790.
PROGRAM:
W.A. Mozart String Quartet no. 23 in F major, K.590 "Prussian no. 3"
Joseph Haydn String Quartet in D major, Op. 50, no. 6 "The Frog"
Ignaz Pleyel, String Quartet in G minor, Ben.339
A complimentary wine reception immediately follows the concert.
