Mostly Mozart (1/4)
PIanist Ll欧r Williams connects Mozart and Haydn with a little French twist from the Perth Concert Hall.
PIanist Ll欧r Williams devises a programme for the Perth Concert Hall audience that connects Mozart and Haydn with a little French twist. Ravel's Menuet was written for the anniversary of Haydn's death in 1809. Debussy also contributed to this initiative along with several other prominent french composers of the day and created a hommage in waltz form, based on the translation of Haydn's name into corresponding note pitches as Ravel had done. Poulenc's short miniatures entitled Novelette are written in a similar vein and were published as a set of three short works dedicated to close friends. The concert by Ll欧r Williams culminates in a Mozart double-bill of his C minor Fantasia and Piano Sonata also in C minor which were, unusually, published together and are often performed as a pair. The Sonata is dedicated to his pupil Therese von Trattner, who was also the wife of his landlord, and was probably intended for domestic performance or teaching purposes. It translates effortlessly into a modern concert platform nevertheless.
