Mozarts 19th-century biographer Otto Jahn declared Mozarts Symphony No. 40 in G minor or the Great G minor symphony as a work of pain and grieving. This haunting composition is only one of two symphonies that Mozart wrote in minor keys often eliciting stronger and darker emotions. This reflects both his interest in the popular Sturm und Drang movement and the personal turmoil of Mozarts life. He composed Symphony No. 40 during a dark timehe was facing mounting debts and dealing with the death of his infant daughter. The Great G minor symphony echoes his personal struggle, and it has become one of his most famous works. Likewise, Beethovens Second Symphony was composed during a dark time for the artist. Battling severe depression and thoughts of suicide as his hearing deteriorated, Beethoven wrote an overwhelmingly energetic, humorous, and playful piece. The fourth movement with sounds of hiccups, groans, flatulence, and belches is profoundly funny. When it premiered in 1803, some in the audience found the music bizarre, but it has stood the test of time as a work of great depth and humanity. After all, laughter can be a healing balm during lifes most difficult times. Played together, Mozarts Mozarts Symphony No. 40 and Beethovens Symphony No 2, will contemplate the pathos and buffoonery of the human condition.

Bach In Baltimore Presents New Instrumental Concert Series: Beyond Bach

July 31, 2019

Bach in Baltimore announced today that in response to audience requests for more instrumental concerts and music that extends beyond the Baroque era that it has created a new music series: BEYOND BACH. For more than 30 years, Bach in Baltimore has performed nearly every work Bach wrote during its First Sunday Series-ranging from the best-known standards to pieces that are so rarely performed, and Bach in Baltimore is one of the only remaining the only ensemble in central Maryland to present the cantatas of J.S. Bach regularly. The first installment of BEYOND BACH concerts will feature the music of Mozart and Beethoven. Because as great as Bach is, we all know that there is more.
