A competition in a quintet
Chamber music for piano and wind instruments? This was something completely new when Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed his quintet for piano and winds in E flat major. Mozart was once again experimenting with the world of chamber music forms – and created something that was to be widely imitated. Ludwig van Beethoven, who had been pushed into competition with the Salzburg boy wonder by his father as a child, found Mozart’s work so inspiring that he also composed a quintet. It was a direct response to Mozart, in the same key and for the same instrumentation. Did he copy it on purpose – or was he even making a musical joke about Mozart’s themes? For all their stylistic similarities, both composers always retain their own highly individual musical language.

Location : Rolf-Liebermann-Studio
The Rolf-Liebermann-Studio was a Jewish temple until 1938. Destroyed in the Pogrom Night, ownership of the current Rolf-Liebermann-Studio passed over to the city authorities in 1941, and later to the former Northwest German Broadcasting, which arranged its conversion into a large concert hall. With its classical music concerts, readings, matinees and jazz concerts, the studio is one of the first ports of call for the culturally aware today.
