Cello and piano visit Mozart and Debussy. This evening concert features music by two of the most important composers of their time, W.A. Mozart and Claude Debussy. In the absence of original works for their instrumentation, the cello and piano duo Rolf Herbrechtsmeyer and Yuko Hirose have taken on two of Mozart's violin sonatas—the Sonatas in C major, K. 303, and A major, K. 305—and adapted them for the cello. This music, originally written for violin, is thus heard in an unusual yet appealing combination of sounds. Dedicated to Elisabeth Auguste, Electress Palatine, the two sonatas are part of the six so-called Elector Sonatas. Claude Debussy's song cycle "Ariettes oubliées," based on poetry by Paul Verlaine, has also been arranged for cello. Debussy's Sonata for Cello and Piano, a groundbreaking work of the early 20th century, is also on the program.OrganizerEv.-luth.
