Notes

Another fine talk from RG to set the scene for today's first set, coupled with an excellent presentation by the quartet. Huzzah!

And the second set was even better than the first, as Greenberg took great care in laying out exactly why Mozart might have enjoyed a day off hunting and then decided to use that motif as the basis of K. 458. Good show old chap! Well met! Shall we do it again next weekend? Right then. Off we go!
