The Evening Concert

It's a cryptic headline, to be sure, explained as music by Mozart (first name Wolfgang) and music by Korngold, (middle name Wolfgang), with music by non-Wolfgang-named Dowland, Bartok and Poulenc.

Alson on the program: Beethoven's "7th Symphony".

Also on the program: Haydn's "Lord Nelson Mass" and "Six Songs" by Schubert.

Tonight you'll hear works by Handel, Vivaldi, Bach and others.

The early works by the "2nd Viennese School of Composers" (Schoenberg, Webern and Berg) on this program are closer in style to Brahms' music than their later works.

Andras Schiff plays Mozart's 27th Piano Concerto, and later in the week, Poulenc's "The Masked Ball", just a few of the many magnificent works on this week's "Evening Concert".

The "Concerto" is by Chausson whose music is not heard as much as others, but offers audio delights nonetheless.

Tone poems by Richard Strauss tonight: Don Juan and "Till".

The WILL Marathon continues....and in hours 13 and 14 of the 26.2 hour fund-raising marathon, you'll hear the San Francsico Symphony in concert.

The 'Third Piano Concerto" was written after Rachmaninov overcame 'writer's block' by daily reciting aloud positive affirmations (paraphrased) "I will compose again" and "I will compose successful and well-received compositions". It worked!
