The music

The Haffner family was very influential in Salzburg. It was thanks to these wealthy merchants that the young Mozart had been able to travel around Europe with his father. This beautiful and highly developed Serenade No. 7 in D major was commissioned for the wedding of the son of this great patron in 1776. Conceived in 8 movements, it gives pride of place to the solo violin, giving it the opportunity to display all its virtuosity.

Created on the same evening as the Fifth and Sixth Symphonies (lucky Viennese!), Beethoven's Concerto No. 4 in G major never ceases to amaze us with its originality, its freedom of tone and the boldness of its themes alternating gentleness and violence in a typically Beethovenian duality.
