Sarah Walker introduces highlights from the Bath Mozart Minifest 2020, with concerts recorded at the Wiltshire Music Centre, Bradford-on-Avon. The concert begins in the romantic period, with music by Robert Schumann, his Three Romances for oboe and piano. Although, this work stands out as unusual, and very few works were composed specifically for the oboe by major romantic era composers. This is followed by Mozart鈥檚 dark and brooding Sonata in A minor, K310, composed in Paris around the same time as his mother died. The concert concludes by jumping ahead to the twentieth century, with Jean Fran莽aix鈥檚 Trio for oboe, bassoon and piano, which was composed in 1994 and dedicated to William Waterhouse, a leading bassoonist of the time.
