- | ## Notes | ||
- | |||
- | Arrived *very* early and upgraded my seat to a prime view in Orchestra Center, then took a stroll around the neighborhood, | ||
- | |||
- | Setbreak! Beethoven is generally a good choice, and I really enjoyed the Leonora opener. The repeated fanfare calls of the trumpet offstage made for a particularly cool spatial effect, sounding first and farthest from the upper balcony, then a minute or two later, much nearer and louder from the front of the grand tier. | ||
- | |||
- | I didn't expect MTT's introduction to the Mackey piece, and I found his commentary to be a far more helpful guide than the notes provided by the composer in the program. MTT made a point of describing the work as one propelled by an insistent, driving force, but I think that characterization is somewhat incorrect. Rather than running forward like a spring-driven clockwork or a speeding machine, I'd say that the piece is like a continually unfolding dreamscape, particularly during Part I. First this idea grabs the attention, and then a moment or two later another element pops up, and so on throughout the work. A fun work, to be sure, but one that obviously needs a lot of practice to pull off! | ||

- | The following concerto by Mozart was lots of fun, and a good listening exercise as well, since it's so easy to get distracted by Mozart' | ||
- | |||
- | As with the Mackey work, MTT spent a few minutes introducing Copland' | ||
- | |||
- | This was the first of four performances of this program. | ||
