PERFORMANCE

Bach to Mozart

Franklin Quartet

Friday, November 2, 2018 at 7:00 p.m.

Special guest artists The Franklin Quartet will perform rarely heard Mozartian transcriptions in a concert that also includes selections from The Well-Tempered Clavier performed on fortepiano.

MORE ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had a lively interest in J.S. Bach’s compositions, and arranged for his father to send him copies of Bach’s collection of keyboard pieces, The Well-Tempered Clavier. Mozart then transcribed some of the fugues from that iconic keyboard work for string trios and quartets, some with newly composed adagios preceding them.
