Classical Music Playlist, June 6, 2022
Mozart was doing pretty well in his first years in Vienna up to about 1785. He was famous and mostly financially comfortable (except that he was a big spender); the city was full of generous patrons and a substantial music industry behind the scenes (publishers, etc) supported all the activity. But by the end of 1785 the scene started to look more grim as the Austro-Turkish War [1788-1791] seemed imminent (and the aristocracy would have to shift their money to it and away from music patronage, and in fact would later flee the city). Before things fell apart, Mozart composed his Piano Concerto No. 22 and there were still enough well funded music lovers to nearly sell out his subscription concerts for its premiere which was very well received (with an encore of the slow movement demanded). Mozart's Piano Concerto #22, performed on a fortepiano as would have been heard in Mozart's day, is today's Midday Masterpiece at 2:00 pm
